Details
Fathom records your Zoom/Meet calls and spits out summaries, action items, and highlights. Founded by Richard White (who built UserVoice). The free tier is surprisingly good: most solopreneurs won’t need to pay. #1 AI notetaker on G2.
Tally is the anti-Typeform. Instead of a complex visual builder, you type your form like you would write a document. Add a text field, a multiple choice question, a file upload. It works like Notion. And the free tier is genuinely generous: unlimited forms, unlimited responses, no branding.
For solo founders who need contact forms, surveys, or feedback forms, Tally is the fastest path from “I need a form” to “here is the link.” The Pro plan at $29/month adds conditional logic and custom domains, but most founders will not need it.
