Half of every meeting happens on screen, but most AI tools miss it completely. Shadow captures both: what was said and what was shown. Every word, every slide, every screen—all without a bot joining your meeting. Shadow transforms that full context into real action. Write follow-up emails, extract action items, or create your own custom AI tasks. Never recap. Just move forward.

I've been using Shadow for a year and a half now. I tried competing products as well, including Granola and Jamie. I love that the customizability in Shadow and how supportive and responsive the founder Jay and his team have always been. I love the ability to auto save my notes to Obsidian.

What needs improvement

It sometimes was resource heavy on my MacOS, but that was understandable and I've noticed a lot of improvements recently.

I wanted a bot-free notetaker that could work with multiple languages.

Shadow is a great and useful product. I spend most of my day in meetings and keeping up with notes and remembering what happened in which meeting is a challenge. Shadow unobtrusively creates a transcript, summary, and can extract todos. The Shadow team has consistently been adding features and is quick to respond to feedback. Definitely worth giving it a try.

What needs improvement

Speaker diarization can be improved, it's a common problem across all of these products

vs Alternatives

It's easy, reasonably priced, works well, and offeres more privacy than competitors

Imagine having a journalist-scholar as your note-taker. What would your meeting minutes look like? They're summary and bulleted statements that speak about what you said in an accurate, eloquent and complete way. Shadow nails it! "Templates" feature tells Shadow what things to listen for, for specific types of meetings like 1:1, lead generation, and more. AMAZING first public launch! Congrats, Jay and team! Can't wait to see what's up next!

It has been working great and the team is very responsive. So much better than other solutions which are annoying in meetings where 10 different AI recorders are joining the meeting. Working seamlessly, in the background, is a huge advantage. The latest versions have amazing summarization, transcribing and note taking capabilities.

Tried out Shadow for meetings and it's been a lifesaver. No bots creeping in, just smooth and efficient planning. Makes staying organized so much easier! Definitely worth a look.

Has helped me in many meetings and has improved a lot through the beta phase. Sometimes might still be a bit sloppy but I am sure this tool will thrive. It's been a great assistant

Love this app, in my top 10 always running apps. It's not attached to browser or zoom app but instead it's system wide listener, non invasive and doesn't sit on the meetings as an extra "person". The skills feature is so cool, I can customize various prompts to manipulate the transcript however I want it. I recommend it to all my partners and clients. Thanks Shadow team, keep it up! 🚀

Shadow was one of the first tools I explored that worked out a way around having an agent join the meeting (and all the explanations that entailed). Since then the product has leapt ahead in leaps and bounds.

Been using since the first beta and it is really terrific. If there was a Windows version we'd be using it organization wide. Our Mac users love it, find the bot free nature the best for meeting notes and it really has advanced to the point where the summaries and follow-ups it captures really are outstanding.
