Not just what they do, but how they do it

Circleback joins meetings with a bot or through its desktop app and delivers notes to its workspace. Radiant captures calls quietly on your Mac with no bots and links transcripts directly to suggested follow-ups. This section compares the core functionality of each platform.

Meeting capture

Circleback captures meetings automatically via calendar detection. On the desktop app, it does not need a bot. You get transcripts, AI summaries, and insights to review after the call.

Radiant also captures meetings automatically without a bot. It runs locally on your Mac, records in the background, and delivers transcripts, editable notes, and suggested next steps you can act on fast to draft and then move into your tools.

Summaries and notes

Circleback generates concise AI summaries of your meetings, and delivers them via email or notifications. The summaries are designed for quick review, and basic recall. You get the highlights, but little context beyond what was said.

Radiant creates detailed, editable notes and summaries that connect directly to follow-up actions. You can share these, revise them, or move them straight into tools like Docs, Gmail, or Notion. It gives you the context and the momentum to move work forward.

Follow-ups

Circleback sends reminders and can sync meeting notes into Slack, but it does not draft follow-ups.

Radiant suggests follow-ups in the app, helps you draft them, and then opens them in Gmail, Slack, or Linear for quick send.

What sets Radiant apart

Circleback reminds you what was said. Radiant turns meetings into whatever needs to get done. With built-in suggestions and action-ready integrations, Radiant closes the loop faster.
