Recurring themes from public reviews and community threads — paraphrased, with sources. Your mileage will vary; this is what users most often cite.
Transcription and recording reliability gaps

Reported on G2, Reddit
Shallow insights, weak cross-meeting search
AI summaries can miss context on technical or detailed calls; users cite shallow insights, limited cross-meeting search, and weak post-meeting workflows.
Reported on G2, review roundups
Bot-in-the-call awkwardness (historically)
Historically joined as a visible bot — awkward on client calls and a source of IT-security objections. A bot-free default was added in 2026, but the reputation persists in reviews.
Reported on Reddit, review roundups
Thin exports, subtitle workflow gaps
Does not export SRT/VTT or structured caption formats, so it can't feed a subtitle workflow; limited native integrations and restricted downloads reported.
