Why Developers Are Looking Beyond Recall.ai

Opaque Pricing

No published rates. You have to book a demo just to find out what it costs — a dealbreaker for developers evaluating infrastructure.

Limited Bot Control

Their bots, their rules. Limited customization over bot behavior, join/leave timing, and media stream handling.

Vendor Lock-In

Your meeting data lives on their servers. Limited webhook flexibility. Switching costs grow every month you're integrated.

You need meeting intelligence infrastructure you can control. Not another vendor's black box.

Ship Meeting Intelligence in 5 Minutes

Replace complex bot infrastructure with simple API calls

// Cognize API — Record & transcribe a meeting
const cognize = require('@cognize/sdk');

const session = await cognize.meetings.record({
  meetingUrl: 'https://zoom.us/j/123456',
  config: {
    botName: 'Your Custom Bot',
    transcription: true,
    language: 'en'
  }
});

// Real-time transcript via webhook
// → { speaker: "Sarah", text: "Let's discuss pricing..." }
// Extract intelligence from any transcript
const analysis = await cognize.transcripts.analyze({
  transcriptId: session.transcriptId,
  features: ['deal_risk', 'action_items', 'sentiment', 'competitors']
});

// Returns structured intelligence:
// → { dealRisk: 72, actionItems: [...], sentiment: 0.8 }
// Custom webhook filtering — only get what you need
await cognize.webhooks.create({
  url: 'https://your-app.com/hooks/cognize',
  events: ['transcript.ready', 'deal_risk.high', 'action_items.new'],
  filters: {
    minDealRisk: 70,
    teams: ['sales', 'cs']
  }
});

// Fine-grained control. No noise.
