Best Alternative to Vowel
With the recent shutdown of Vowel.com, many users are on the hunt for a new video recording and team collaboration tool. If you are one of them, look no further than BuildBetter.ai. While Vowel had its strengths, over 19,000 teams prefer BuildBetter. Let's explore why.
BuildBetter.ai
BuildBetter, is an AI-powered product assistant, supporting over 17,000 teams in making faster and more informed product decisions. Here's what BuildBetter brings to the table:
- AI Assistant: Known as BB Assistant (BBA), it is trained on more than 200 product leaders and over 2,000 product artifacts. It effectively answers questions about your products, customers, or company.
- Data Integration: BuildBetter integrates with your favorite tools, consolidating your data in one place and making your product stack accessible to the entire organization.
- Free Recording and Transcribing: Both versions of BB Assistant, Junior (Free) and Senior (Paid), auto-record and accurately transcribe calls to extract valuable insights. They also sort and store call data for easy searchable access.
- Knowledge Management: BuildBetter allows you to keep your documentation updated and manage status updates using your most recent asset: calls. It enables you to easily record and upload any conversation.
- Advanced Insights: BuildBetter uses AI to provide quick insights and find documents or themes within your product data. This feature helps to prioritize updates and make better decisions faster.
Ground breaking summaries
One of the first thing teams notices about BuildBetter is the quality in their summaries. Instead of searching for keywords and chunking transcripts up, BuildBetter's proprietary summarizer, is able to consume the entire context of the call and structure each call with a custom built template that fits that type.
No Downloads Necessary
Just like Vowel, BuildBetter.ai operates right from your browser and can record natively with Zoom, Google Meets, and Webex. This means you don't need to download another app to your machine to get started. And unlike many other platforms, BuildBetter.ai is designed to use 90% fewer resources than existing electron apps. It also boasts a blazing fast 10mb download file size, making it easier to join meetings without the hassle of slow downloads or lag.
Pricing and Accessibility
BuildBetter.ai, offers a more comprehensive set of features that goes beyond meeting tools, with both a free version and paid plans for more advanced functionality. It's a more robust choice for teams needing advanced search, extraction, and organization features, and it's used by a significant number of teams.
Data Integration and Search
Where BuildBetter.ai really shines is in its integration and search capabilities. It's designed to break down silos and compile data from your favorite tools in one place, making it easy to search through calls, documents, and other data. It also uses machine learning and GPT-4 to automatically detect and extract insights from calls, making it a powerful tool for product research and decision making.
Vowel also offers search functionality, but it's limited to searching across meeting content. It does, however, provide a universal search feature that's all in-browser, which can be handy for quickly finding specific meeting-related content.
Meeting Experience
While both tools offer meeting recording and transcription services, their approach to the meeting experience differs.
BuildBetter.ai, offers automated recording and transcription of calls, turning them into searchable assets. It also allows for manual or automatic tagging of key moments in the transcript and seamless integration with other tools.
Intuitive and Streamlined User Interface
BuildBetter.ai goes a step further when it comes to UX and UI. Created by top designers, engineers, and product people, BuildBetter.ai offers a frictionless experience designed to be a tool you want to use. The platform is not only intelligent and easy to use, but also seamlessly integrates with your existing tools, ensuring a smooth transition from Vowel.

Comprehensive Call Intelligence
BuildBetter.ai comes with a proprietary Call Intelligence feature that tracks and analyzes every call that comes into your product team. This feature includes auto-recording all types of calls and tagging moments manually, making it easier to remember and refer back to key points. This feature is comparable to Vowel's feature of providing a universal search across your meeting content. However, with BuildBetter.ai, you can also extract and associate them to segments in the transcript, making it an even more powerful tool for remembering and acting on meeting content.
Research Intelligence
In addition to all these features, BuildBetter.ai goes one step further with its Research Intelligence. This feature auto-extracts insights, issues, decisions, topics, sentiments, and questions, saving up to 2 hours per transcript and 5 minutes per email or customer request. You can also group your extractions and find themes based on your chosen segmentation. Plus, you'll receive smart email alerts when topics are discussed and summaries generated on the fly for easy consumption. This comprehensive feature is a major differentiator for BuildBetter.ai, offering a level of sophistication and automation that outpaces Vowel's capabilities.
In conclusion, while Vowel.com will be missed by many, its users have a powerful and robust alternative in BuildBetter.ai. The platform’s commitment to ease of use, improved meeting habits, comprehensive call and research intelligence, and overall efficiency make it a standout choice for teams seeking to streamline their collaboration and communication processes.
