Recap vs Meeting BaaS (formerly Spoke.ai)

Recap is an open-source Chrome extension that summarizes any portion of a webpage through ChatGPT. Its Smart Split approach breaks articles into passages so you can recap a single section, a highlighted selection, or the full page without leaving the browser. Install it from the Chrome Web Store link on recapext.xyz and run summaries from the toolbar icon.

Full-page summarizers like built-in browser readers dump one block of text at you. Recap splits long articles first, which makes it easier to digest news, docs, or research posts section by section. You trade the simplicity of a one-click whole-page summary for finer control over which passage gets condensed.

Students, researchers, and heavy readers who live in Chrome use it to skim long articles faster. The site lists contact at [email protected], credits builder Yaozhi Wang, and was featured by The Rundown newsletter.

Meeting BaaS sends bots into Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls to record, transcribe, and summarize meetings through a developer API. You POST a meeting URL, the bot joins automatically, and your backend receives recordings, transcripts, speaker diarization, and metadata via webhooks.

Recall.ai and similar meeting-bot APIs charge enterprise rates with opaque pricing. Meeting BaaS starts free with 8 hours of recording and scales at $0.35 per hour on pay-as-you-go, with a Speaking Bots API that streams audio to your LLM in real time so the bot can respond during the call rather than only after it ends.

SaaS teams, sales intelligence platforms, and internal tooling groups use Meeting BaaS to build AI meeting assistants, automate post-call summaries, and analyze customer conversations at scale. The TypeScript SDK, MCP tools, and self-hosting option let you embed meeting capture without building bot infrastructure from scratch.
