What is Tactiq?
Tactiq is a Chrome extension that transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls in real time and turns them into AI summaries, action items and follow-ups. It is built by Tactiq and works through the browser, so no bot joins the meeting as an extra participant. The free plan includes 10 transcripts a month and a handful of AI credits.
The main difference from many meeting recorders is the botless approach: the transcript appears in a side panel during the call, which some teams prefer because guests do not see a recording bot in the attendee list. You can highlight key moments live, then use AI to write a summary, extract tasks, draft a follow-up email or ask questions about the meeting. Transcripts can be shared, exported to Google Docs or Notion and searched later. Sales teams use it for call notes, recruiters for interview records, product managers for user research and anyone who wants accurate notes without typing during the call.
