Earmark vs Claude for meetings
Claude writes a great doc. Earmark captures the meeting and ships the work.
Claude is a superb writer — but only once you hand it a clean transcript and prompt it. Earmark captures the live conversation device-side and turns it into PRDs, Linear and Jira tickets, decision logs, and stakeholder updates in real time, then routes them into the tools your team already ships in. No recording, exporting, prompting, or copy-pasting in between.

Why product teams pick Earmark
Capture is automatic, not bring-your-own
Claude is brilliant once you hand it a clean transcript — but getting that transcript is on you. Earmark captures the meeting device-side as it happens, so there's nothing to record, export, clean up, or paste before the work can start.
Real time, not after the fact
With Claude you finish the call, find the transcript, open a chat, and prompt your way to a doc. Earmark drafts the PRD, the tickets, and the recap live during the conversation — they're ready the moment the meeting ends.
Ships into your tools, not your clipboard
Claude returns text you then copy into Linear, Jira, Notion, and Slack by hand. Earmark pushes tickets, decision logs, and stakeholder updates straight into the tools your team already ships in — no manual relay.
Trusted by product teams who ship through conversation
“Earmark transforms planning calls straight into PRDs and JIRA tickets. An indispensable PM tool that saves hours of documentation.”
“No other AI transcription tool gives this level of flexibility. Cuts my admin time by about 75%.”
“Earmark is far beyond a basic meeting tool — task agents build summaries, follow-ups, and deliverables while we’re still talking.”
Questions?
Can't I just paste my meeting transcript into Claude?
You can, and Claude will write a great summary or PRD from it. The catch is everything around that step: you still have to record the call, export and clean the transcript, write the right prompt, then copy each output into Linear, Jira, or Slack yourself. Earmark removes all of that — it captures the meeting automatically and produces the finished deliverables in real time.
Is Earmark trying to replace Claude?
No. Claude is a general-purpose AI assistant and a genuinely strong writer and reasoner. Earmark is a purpose-built meeting-to-work tool for product and engineering teams. Plenty of teams use both — they just don't want to be the manual pipe between their meeting and a chat window.
Does Earmark work during the meeting?
Yes. Earmark drafts deliverables live as you talk, so they're ready when the call ends. Claude only acts on input you give it after the meeting is over.
Can Earmark create Jira and Linear tickets?
Yes — with titles, descriptions, and acceptance criteria, pushed directly into Linear and Jira before the meeting ends. With Claude you'd copy each ticket out of the chat and create it yourself.
What about privacy?
Earmark captures device-side, never joins your call as a bot, and doesn't train on your data. Anthropic doesn't train on commercial or API data by default either — but with Claude your meeting content only reaches it once you manually paste a transcript in.
Leave your next meeting with the work already done.
