As bearish as I’ve been on AI tools lately — partly because they’re coming after my bread and butter — one category I’ve consistently relied on is AI note-taking tools. I’ve been using these online notetaker tools for online meetings and media briefings for the past year or so. And honestly, they’ve been incredibly useful. When you’re attending multiple briefings every week, it’s impossible to remember every detail, quote, and specification off the top of your head.The problem, though, is that AI infrastructure isn’t cheap, and running these services is a high cost for the companies that provide them. As these tools have become more advanced, subscription prices have gone up.
