We almost shipped a meeting bot to record our coaching sessions.
Two weeks of development. Clean demo. Working integration with Recall.ai at roughly $100/month — and climbing with every new instructor and candidate cohort.
Then we thought about what a nervous candidate sees in their first 30 seconds on a mock interview call.
"Wynisco Notetaker has joined the meeting."
That's not the experience we want to create. We pulled it.
What we shipped instead: two Zoom Business seats with native AI Companion. $44/month flat. Automatic session recording. AI-generated summaries. No bot visible in the call. No usage-based pricing curve.
The lesson: check whether the tool you're already paying for has the feature before building something new.
