Real-Time AI During Meetings: Why Post-Call Summaries Aren't Enough

Quick question - how many of you actually go back and read AI-generated meeting summaries? I used Otter and Fireflies for months. They're solid tools. But honestly, by the time I got the summary, the meeting was done. The moment I actually needed help had passed. Recently I tried Craqly and it works differently. Instead of a recap after the call, it gives you AI help during the meeting in real time. It's a desktop app - no browser extension, no bot joining your call. It sits alongside Zoom, Meet, or Teams and listens through your system audio.
