Shadow vs MeetGeek

Shadow is a macOS app that captures what you say, hear, and see on your screen, then runs custom Skills to turn that context into meeting notes, emails, code, or other outputs. It works in the background during calls and on a keyboard shortcut anywhere else, so you stay focused on the conversation instead of juggling notes and follow-ups.

Unlike bot-based meeting recorders, Shadow never joins your call. It detects meetings automatically, transcribes locally on your Mac, labels speakers in real time, and captures meeting screenshots on its own. When a call ends, you pick a Meeting Skill or write your own prompt to generate notes, BANT breakdowns, action items, or follow-up emails.

Outside meetings, Action Skills let you press a shortcut on any screen. Shadow listens to your voice, reads selected text, and screenshots the active window to run prompts that paste results into your app or show them where you are working. Teams at companies like Vercel, Rippling, and Intercom already use it for faster meeting follow-through and hands-free writing.

MeetGeek is a meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other conferencing tools. It stores searchable transcripts, AI chat over past meetings, and workflow automations so teams can share notes without rewatching every recording.

Unlike lightweight note bots that only dump a summary, MeetGeek layers meeting templates, CRM integrations, and no-bot browser recording on top of transcription. That stack targets teams that need governance, analytics, and Zapier-style automation rather than a single post-call email.

Sales, customer success, and product teams use MeetGeek for customer calls, interviews, and internal standups. Educators and agencies also adopt it for online classes and client meetings where shared folders and role-based access matter.
