Why Meeting Notes Aren’t Enough

See how Krista turns conversations into outcomes by orchestrating the next steps across your business—not just summarizing what was said.

Recording Calls Is Just the Start

Capturing meeting and call content is a great first step—it ensures nothing is missed and gives teams a reliable record of what was said. But in today’s fast-moving, cross-functional organizations, transcripts and summaries alone aren’t enough. Most tools stop there, leaving it up to you to manually create tasks, send follow-ups, update systems, and chase down the next steps. The real value comes after the meeting, when decisions need to lead to action, approvals need to move, and updates need to happen across systems. Krista doesn’t just listen—she acts. She turns conversations into outcomes by orchestrating workflows across people, enterprise systems, and AI agents. Below, we’ve compared Krista to other leading conversation intelligence tools like Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Avoma, Gong, Chorus, and MeetGeek to show how Krista stands apart—not just recording what happened, but driving what happens next.

Features

Real-Time Transcription

Captures spoken words and instantly converts them into text during live meetings. Enables real-time comprehension, immediate review, and faster decision-making by ensuring participants have a live, accurate record as conversations unfold.

Speaker Identification

Labels and separates individual speakers in the transcript. This contextual clarity supports better accountability, makes follow-up easier, and helps automation systems assign responsibilities more accurately.

Meeting Summaries

Automatically distills long conversations into concise summaries, highlighting major themes, decisions, and outcomes. Useful for alignment and follow-up—but typically limited to content from the meeting itself.

Tracks Action Items

Detects tasks, next steps, and owner assignments within conversations. Some platforms log these items in summaries; others offer structured task tracking. Execution of tasks typically requires human follow-through or integration.

Executes Follow-Up Actions

Goes beyond identifying tasks by actually performing them—sending documents, updating CRMs, booking meetings, etc. Most vendors stop at task detection; few natively handle execution across systems.

Document Handling

Surfaces and connects relevant documents—such as policies, contracts, or spreadsheets—during or after meetings. Critical for context and validation of decisions. Advanced platforms integrate document content into follow-up actions.

Workflow Automation

Triggers downstream processes based on what’s said in a meeting—such as updating systems, escalating issues, or sending follow-ups. Some platforms rely on Zapier or APIs, while more advanced tools include native automation engines.

Auto-Trigger Processes

Listens for predefined keywords, phrases, or decisions and immediately initiates workflows—such as creating support tickets, sending alerts, or launching onboarding sequences—without waiting for manual action.

Trend Analysis

Reviews historical conversations to find recurring patterns, objections, or risks. Ideal for coaching, forecasting, and operational refinement—though depth and accuracy vary based on the platform’s analytical capabilities.

CRM/ERP Integration

Links meeting content directly to enterprise platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, or Workday. Automates data entry, enriches records, and ensures updates reflect live discussions—reducing admin work and increasing system accuracy.

Chat & Email Integration

Either pulls in or pushes out content from systems like Slack, Teams, or email. Most tools share meeting notes via these channels, but only a few ingest chat and email to unify communication context for enterprise search.

Multi-System Integration

Connects to multiple tools (e.g. CRM, HRIS, ERP, support, file storage) and coordinates updates across them. Reduces manual switching, avoids silos, and makes automation possible across departments.

Role-Based Access

Controls visibility of content based on roles, departments, or geography. Critical for privacy and security. Platforms with granular access controls better support compliance and enterprise-wide rollout.

Organizational Memory

Preserves a shared, long-term record of decisions, conversations, and follow-ups. Especially valuable when team members change, systems evolve, or customer history needs to be referenced later.

Contextual Understanding

Analyzes what was said in the broader context of emails, documents, past calls, or enterprise systems. Enhances automation quality and relevance—especially for personalized recommendations or escalations.

AI Decision Making

Uses logic, rules, or predictive models to determine what happens next after a conversation. For example: assign ownership, update systems, or trigger a compliance check—without waiting for human instruction.

Human-in-the-Loop

Includes approval steps where automation pauses and defers to a person. Ensures sensitive or complex decisions aren’t made blindly by machines, supporting trust and control.

Agent Coordination

Synchronizes multiple AI agents—like transcription, document retrieval, or data classification—so they work together to complete a process. Enables compound outcomes that reflect how teams work in the real world.

No-Code Configuration

Empowers business users to design and adjust workflows through drag-and-drop or natural language. Eliminates technical bottlenecks and accelerates time to value.
