Positioning	AI meeting notetaker that auto-joins Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls to transcribe, summarize, and generate follow-up actions. Generous free plan (unlimited recordings, 5 AI summaries/month) makes it popular with individual users. Paid tiers: Premium ($20/mo, $16 annual) for unlimited summaries, Team ($19/$15), Business ($34/$25) for CRM sync (Salesforce, HubSpot). 90-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.	Business communication and meetings, bundled with Microsoft 365 (Business Basic $6/user includes it). Positioned as the enterprise alternative to Slack + Zoom + Google Meet for organizations already on Microsoft. Distinctive for being effectively free for existing M365 customers — which drove Teams to overtake Slack in enterprise seat count by 2023. Standalone plan ($4/user/mo) rarely used; most Teams growth is Microsoft 365 bundle-driven. AI features (Copilot for Teams) charged separately at $30/user/mo.
