OLVA

OLVA is a meeting assistant that records from your own device instead of joining the call as a bot, so nothing appears in the participant list and it works for in-person conversations and phone calls as well as Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Webex. While the call is running it transcribes, detects when a question is aimed at you, and puts a suggested answer on your screen — grounded in the transcript and, on paid tiers, in documents you connect. Afterwards it produces summaries, action items and decisions, keeps a searchable meeting history, and can turn the meeting into an editable PowerPoint deck. It handles 87 languages with automatic detection and live translation, which matters when you are the non-native speaker on the call. OLVA is built for the person who is judged on what they say during the meeting — sales reps, solutions engineers, consultants — rather than for teams who mainly want shared notes afterwards.

Comparee rates OLVA 65/100 in Productivity & Meetings — based on catalog data as of August 2026. Methodology.

Pros & cons

✓ Pros

✓Records from your own device, so it never shows up in the participant list — and works for in-person and phone conversations too
✓Detects questions aimed at you and suggests an answer while the call is still running
✓Answers can be grounded in your own briefs, policies or technical documents (Plus tier and above)
✓87 languages with automatic detection and live transcript translation
✓Native desktop apps for Windows and macOS, plus iOS and Android companions
✓Generates an editable PowerPoint deck from the meeting content

✗ Cons

✗Almost no independent reviews — how well the question detection and answer quality actually perform is unproven
✗The free tier gives only 2 hours of meeting time per month and keeps history for a limited time
✗No CRM integration is documented — nothing for Salesforce or HubSpot
✗Silent capture leaves the entire recording-disclosure duty to you, which is a problem in regulated environments
✗Third-party listings quote different prices than the vendor page, so check the current plan at signup
✗Document-aware answers and calendar sync are paywalled; Slack, Drive and Notion only on the top tier
