Fellow vs OLVA

Fellow is an AI meeting assistant that records and transcribes meetings, then creates a Meeting Recap with summaries, decisions and action items. It captures meetings through a bot, or its desktop and mobile apps can record audio directly without a bot joining. Supported settings include Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles and in-person meetings. Ask Fellow searches transcripts, summaries and notes from past meetings to answer questions or surface decisions and tasks. The service lists transcription in 99 languages, while its AI Note Taker description specifies 93. It is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and web, plus an extension and API. The Free plan includes five AI notes and five AI recordings per user for life, with a maximum of five seats. Paid plans start at $7/user/mo billed annually; a 14-day trial is listed, and the workspace moves to Free when the trial ends. Meeting data is not used to train Fellow or third-party AI models, including on Free.

OLVA is a meeting assistant that provides live transcription, question detection, contextual answers, coaching prompts and searchable meeting memory. Desktop OLVA captures audio from the user's device without appearing as a meeting participant, and works alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles and Webex. Users can add notes and PDF, text, Markdown, DOCX or PPTX files as meeting context, subject to a plan's shared word limit. The listing states 87 transcription languages; the default Soniox speech provider supports 60 spoken languages with automatic detection and multiple selected languages. Calendar integrations are available. Pro and Ultra include Notion, Slack, Google Drive and outbound webhooks; Plus does not. The iOS and Android apps use the microphone for in-person conversations, but do not capture another app's system audio.

Plus costs $14.99 a month, Pro $24.99 a month and Ultra $99.99 a month. The maker describes Pro as suited to heavy meeting weeks and customer-facing roles, among others.
