Capture and synthesize a research session
Nothing for participants to download, and nothing joins the call.
Open a tab or phone
Use a second Chrome or Edge tab on desktop for Zoom, Meet, or Teams interviews, or a phone browser for in-person field sessions.
Collect verbal consent
Confirm with your participant that you are recording for internal product research, then press Start.
Extract pain points and quotes
Generate the summary and ask the chatbot to pull every workaround, objection, or workflow step the user described.
Verify on replay and delete later
On Pro and Max, check speaker labels and replay audio for exact quotes, then delete the session and audio when your study wraps.
Four research jobs it handles cleanly
Built for PMs, UX researchers, and founders running their own discovery.
Customer discovery calls
Stay present for follow-up questions instead of typing notes, while the transcript and summary capture every detail.
Usability test debriefs
On Max, paste screenshots of the prototype screen right into the meeting chat to connect user confusion to the exact UI element.
In-person field visits
Sit across from a customer in a store, clinic, or warehouse with your phone browser recording in the open and no app setup.
Episodic study sprints
Pay $9 once for 5 hours that never expire instead of keeping a $15/mo subscription active between quarterly research rounds.
The details before your first study
Desktop call capture works in Chrome, Chromium, and Edge; phones and tablets work in any modern browser. There is no desktop installer or video-recording feed, so if you need cursor-level screen video, keep using a dedicated usability tool alongside MeetingSidekick for audio and synthesis.
Audio replay and speaker labels live on Pro and Max. Free includes 2 hours of recording one time for the life of the account, plus full transcript, AI summary, and meeting chat. Recordings stay saved and unlock retroactively if you upgrade later.
Audio is never sold or used for model training. You control retention and can permanently delete any session and its audio file with one click.
User research transcription, answered
Does MeetingSidekick keep the audio so I can verify verbatim quotes?
Yes. The audio is saved for every meeting. On Pro ($15/mo or $120/yr) and Max ($50/mo or $400/yr), recordings are diarized with speaker names and you can play back the audio directly to verify exact participant quotes.
Can I pay per research sprint without a monthly subscription?
Yes. Free includes 2 hours of recording one time for the life of the account. If you run a batch of discovery calls every few months, the 5-hour pack is $9 one time and never expires.
Does a recording bot join customer or usability calls?
No. Nothing joins the call. Desktop call capture runs in Chrome, Chromium, and Edge; phones and tablets work in any modern browser for in-person usability tests and field studies.
Can I paste UI screenshots into the research chat?
Yes, on Max ($50/mo or $400/yr). You can paste up to three screenshots into the meeting chat alongside your question so the AI answers with both the transcript and what the participant saw on screen.
Is participant audio used to train AI models, and can I delete a study?
Audio is used only to transcribe your session and is never sold or used to train AI models. You can permanently delete any session and its stored audio from your account once your research synthesis is complete.

2 hours free, no card, and a $9 5-hour pack whenever you need extra study hours.
