Acta vs Zoom, Teams & Meet AI: one place for every meeting app
Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet can each summarise their own meetings. Acta works across all three, so every customer call, standup and interview ends up in one place, with action items, decisions and answers that span them all.
Acta vs Zoom, Teams & Meet AI in short
Built-in AI like Zoom AI Companion, Microsoft Teams Copilot and Gemini in Google Meet summarises meetings inside each app, depends on your Zoom, Microsoft or Google plan, and often has to be turned on by an admin. Acta records Zoom, Google Meet and Teams in one place, with or without a bot, tracks action items to done with daily follow-ups, keeps a decision log, fills 42 templates and answers across all your meetings and files with OneChat.
Zoom, Meet and Teams together
Customers on Zoom, partners on Teams, the team on Meet: Acta keeps all of them in one place.
A history, not just a recap
Action items and decisions carry over from meeting to meeting, so you can see what's still open and what changed.
