WeaveComparisons
Notes tell you what was said. Weave shows what you were thinking.
Granola, Fathom, and Otter are excellent at capturing meetings. Weave does a different job: while everyone talks, it draws the map, and asks the questions nobody thought to.
Thirty seconds of one meeting, drawn live — the decision, its condition, and the question nobody asked.
| Granola | Fathom | Otter | Weave | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI notepad — enhances your typed notes after the call | AI meeting assistant — bot records, then summarizes | Real-time transcription with summaries on top | A live map of the thinking that asks back |
| When value arrives | After the meeting | After the meeting | Live, as text | Live, as structure |
| Output shape | Prose notes | Recording + summary + action items | Verbatim transcript | Linked cards — decisions, questions, who said what |
| In the call | No bot; you type | Bot in the participant list, recording | Bot or app, recording | No bot, no recording — the room watches the map build from one link |
| Thinks back | No | No | Answers questions about what was said | Asks what the room missed |
