A game‑changer for client meetings and efficiency

Vinyl AI has completely transformed how we handle client meetings. It quietly joins our Teams calls and automatically captures accurate transcripts, clear summaries, and well‑structured action items—so nothing gets missed and there’s no frantic note‑taking during conversations. One of the standout features is how Vinyl organises everything and then syncs meeting notes directly into our practice workflow - meeting outcomes are automatically linked to the right client records, saving a huge amount of post‑meeting admin time. The AI summaries are genuinely useful—not just transcripts, but clear discussion points, decisions, and assigned actions that keep the whole team aligned. The “Ask Vinyl” AI chat and AI‑generated follow‑ups (like client emails or handover notes) add even more value by turning meetings into immediate, actionable outcomes. For in‑person meetings, the mobile app is just as impressive: one‑tap recording, automatic speaker identification, and instant syncing to the web app mean all meetings—online or face‑to‑face—end up in one secure, searchable place. Overall, Vinyl AI feels like having an extra admin team member in every meeting. It saves hours each week, improves accountability, and lets us focus on clients instead of paperwork. If you’re an accounting or bookkeeping firm serious about efficiency, Vinyl is well worth it.

Game Changer

We honestly can’t imagine running our online meetings without Vinyl anymore. Before using Vinyl, a big part of our workflow was spent to capture notes, summarise discussions, and make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Now, that entire process feels effortless. Vinyl handles the note-taking and recaps seamlessly, which means we can stay fully present in conversations instead of worrying about documentation. The time savings alone have been a game changer for our team. What used to take considerable effort after each meeting is now done for us. It’s improved our efficiency and the reduced admin load. We’re genuinely stoked with the product. Vinyl has quickly become an essential part of how we work.

Vinyl For all Business needs no matter which industry

I’m the Founder & CEO of a business services firm focused on fractional finance teams (CFOs and Directors). Over the last 7 years, we’ve trialed many meeting note-taking tools, and none compared to Vinyl, it’s best-in-class. We’ve been paperless since day one, but even electronic notebooks were still distracting in meetings. With Vinyl, we can stay fully present, listening and contributing, without needing a dedicated note-taker. Highly recommend.

Vinyl Is More Than A Note Taker

As a long time Karbon user, Vinyl was the natural choice for our firm to use as its "note and analyzer taker" It summarizes meetings for accountants better than any other note taker that we have used(Fathom, Goggle Meet, and Zoom). The best part for us is that Vinyl even records face to face meetings directly from my MacBookPro computer. And of course the integration with our Karbon time lines is icing on the cake!

My Favourite New Tech Tool

Vinyl has quickly become one of my favourite tech tools. The AI notetaker jumps into my meetings automatically and delivers clear, accurate summaries straight to my inbox within minutes. I can personalise them for clients or add them directly into our Karbon workflows. It has saved me time, especially when preparing follow-ups or documenting conversations for the team. The new mobile app is another great step forward, and I’m really looking forward to using the in-app AI to search back through our growing history of meetings. It’s easy to use, and the support from the Vinyl team has been excellent.

AI Notetaker for Accountants

The transpose is the most accurate I have seen and the action points are highly accurate. Very little human intervention necessary.
