Vizard.ai – AI Screen Recording & Auto-Repurposing 🎥✨

Vizard.ai turns raw screen recordings, webinars, and calls into social-ready clips using AI. It automatically detects highlight moments, crops to vertical formats, adds captions, and exports platform-optimized versions for shorts, reels, and posts.

Content creators and marketing teams rely on Vizard to collapse hours of editing into a few clicks. Instead of manually scrubbing timelines, you record once and let the AI handle clipping, captioning, and resizing so you can publish more, faster.

Fireflies.ai records meetings across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more, then transcribes, summarizes, and highlights key moments automatically. It can also log notes and action items into CRMs and collaboration tools, creating a searchable history of every important conversation.

Sales, product, and remote teams use Fireflies to make sure nothing said in a call gets lost. With transcripts, topic filters, and shareable soundbites, a single meeting becomes a rich asset you can revisit, search, and plug into your workflows anytime.
