Verdict	Essential for remote teams, but the strict 30-minute cap on the free tier makes it useless for actual business meetings.	The absolute best AI for research and fact-checking, hands down.	An exceptionally capable workspace assistant, but priced as an enterprise luxury for solo users.	A brilliant concept that is wildly overpriced for Indian freelancers.
