Not just what they do, but how they do it

Loom joins and records your meetings, then creates video libraries for teams to watch and share later. Radiant runs as a Mac app that captures transcripts and summaries locally, then turns them into follow-ups and tasks you can act on immediately. Here’s how they differ on key features.

Meeting capture

Loom records meetings and screen shares, saving them as videos in a cloud library for replay and sharing. The model is built around video capture and async review.

Radiant runs locally on your Mac and captures conversations as they happen. It documents meetings without creating video files, bots, or browser tabs.

Summaries and notes

Loom transcribes videos and generates basic notes linked to the recording for easier review. Its focus is on supporting playback with searchable transcripts and highlights.

Radiant creates transcripts and editable notes locally on your Mac. It also generates structured summaries with key points and decisions, so you can rely on them without rewatching anything.

Follow-ups

Loom emphasizes async communication, allowing you to share clips and recordings with teammates. Follow-ups depend on creating and distributing video messages rather than written drafts.

Radiant suggests follow-ups immediately after each meeting, drafting emails, Slack updates, or other deliverables like Linear tickets in the app and opening them in your tools so you can finalize and send quickly.

What sets Radiant apart

Loom is for recording and replaying meetings. Radiant is for acting on them. It captures what matters and turns it into outcomes, without needing to watch anything back.
