Earmark

What Earmark is

Earmark is a botless AI meeting assistant built for product teams. Instead of sending a bot into your Zoom, Meet or Teams call, it captures audio on your device, nothing joins the attendee list, and runs real-time AI agents on the conversation.

The pitch is finished work rather than notes: before the meeting ends it can draft PRDs, Jira and Linear tickets with acceptance criteria, decision logs, stakeholder updates, and even Cursor-ready specs and v0 UI prompts. Live agent personas (such as an engineering translator) surface insights during the call itself. It is privacy-first by design: ephemeral by default, with no audio or transcript storage and no training on your data.

Where Earmark is the strongest pick

Earmark is strongest for product managers and engineering leads who leave meetings with a to-do list of artifacts to write. Because it drafts the PRD, the tickets and the decision log while the conversation is still happening, the post-meeting writing burden largely disappears. Its on-device, botless capture also covers in-person conversations and avoids the awkward recording-bot presence in client calls.

Best for

Product managers, engineering leads and cross-functional product teams who want meetings converted into structured artifacts, PRDs, tickets, specs and updates, rather than plain summaries. Less suited to people who want a searchable archive of every call, since Earmark is ephemeral by default.

Key features

• Botless, on-device meeting capture across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and in-person conversations
• Real-time AI agents that surface insights and answers while the meeting is still running
• Automated finished artifacts: PRDs, decision logs, stakeholder updates and meeting documents
• Jira and Linear ticket drafting with acceptance criteria pulled from the discussion
• Developer-ready outputs, including Cursor-ready specs and v0 UI prompts
• Live agent personas, such as an engineering translator for cross-functional calls
• Privacy-first architecture: ephemeral by default, no audio or transcript storage, no training on user data
• Web app plus Mac and Windows desktop apps

Pros

• Produces finished work artifacts (PRDs, tickets, specs) rather than just summaries and notes
• No bot joins the call, so it works for client calls, in-person meetings and bot-restricted workspaces
• Real-time in-meeting insights instead of only a post-call recap
• Strong privacy posture: ephemeral by default, zero data storage, no LLM training on your conversations
• Aggressively priced for the category, starting at $8/mo

Cons

• No permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial
• Ephemeral-by-default means no searchable archive of past calls, a tradeoff versus Otter or Fireflies
• Young, bootstrapped product with a small public track record so far
• No mobile apps; capture happens from the web or desktop apps only

Best-fit use cases

• Drafting a PRD from a product discovery call before the meeting ends
• Turning sprint-planning discussions into Jira or Linear tickets with acceptance criteria
• Keeping a decision log across recurring product reviews
• Generating stakeholder updates from cross-functional syncs
• Producing Cursor-ready specs and v0 prompts straight from design discussions

FAQ

How much does Earmark cost?

Earmark has two self-serve plans plus an enterprise tier. Starter is $8 per month and includes 20 meetings a month, real-time insights, automated documents, advanced personas, zero data storage and no LLM training. Pro is $20 per month and adds unlimited meetings, unlimited tasks, a Slack support channel and custom workflows. Enterprise is custom-priced with workspace controls, a security review and custom terms. Annual billing is advertised at 20% off, and both paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.

Does Earmark have a free plan?

No. Earmark does not offer a permanent free tier. Instead, both the Starter and Pro plans come with a 14-day free trial, so you can run it through two weeks of real meetings before paying. At $8 per month for the Starter plan, its entry price is lower than most established meeting assistants, which softens the lack of a free tier, but if you specifically need a free-forever notetaker, Fathom is the stronger fit in this category.

How is Earmark different from Otter or Fireflies?

Two ways. First, capture: Otter and Fireflies send a visible bot into your Zoom, Meet or Teams call and store transcripts in the cloud, while Earmark records on your device with nothing joining the attendee list, and is ephemeral by default with no audio or transcript storage. Second, output: Otter and Fireflies produce transcripts, summaries and action items, while Earmark drafts finished artifacts, PRDs, Jira and Linear tickets with acceptance criteria, decision logs and stakeholder updates, while the meeting is still running. The tradeoff is that Earmark does not build a searchable archive of past calls.

Is Earmark private? What happens to my meeting audio?

Privacy is one of Earmark's core design choices. It is ephemeral by default: meeting audio and transcripts are processed in real time and not stored, and the company states it does not train AI models on your data. Even the $8 Starter plan includes the zero-data-storage posture. This makes it easier to clear with security teams and clients than bot-based recorders, though it also means you cannot go back and search old transcripts later, because they are not kept.

What platforms does Earmark support?

Earmark runs as a web app and as desktop apps for Mac and Windows, and it captures meetings across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams as well as in-person conversations, since the audio is picked up on your device rather than through a call integration. There are no iOS or Android apps at this time. Note that the unrelated mobile app named Earmark on the App Store is a continuing-education app for accountants, not this product.

What are the best Earmark alternatives?

The closest philosophical match is Granola, which also captures on-device without a bot, though it focuses on augmented notes rather than finished artifacts. For mainstream bot-based transcription with searchable archives, Otter and Fireflies are the established picks, Fathom is the best free option, and tl;dv is strong for recorded highlights and clips. Earmark's edge over all of them is drafting PRDs, tickets and specs in real time; its tradeoff is the lack of a stored, searchable meeting history.
