Read moreWho Aside is for
Aside is for individuals on a Mac or Windows PC whose work happens on calls: selling, pitching, interviewing, researching or advising. It records without a bot, transcribes on the computer (add another language and every call is transcribed online, as on computers too slow to keep up, but for notes-only calls on the free plan), and can guide you during the call toward goals you set.
One person, one account
Each person uses Aside on their own computer with their own account. A Team plan with shared plans, shared answers and a team library is planned, not available yet. See pricing.
Any call app
Aside records your microphone and the sound your computer plays, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, FaceTime, phone calls through your computer and meetings in the room. See all apps.
When to choose something else
If you need a phone app, CRM sync, video recording or team analytics, Aside isn’t the right fit today. The comparisons say which tools do those things.
Start with a playbook
Playbooks describe how you run a kind of call. Aside comes with nine starters to add and make your own.
