The backstory
Metaview eliminated the manual note-taking recruiters used to do during interviews by transcribing calls and generating structured, compliance-ready summaries. The problem is that the same video platforms hosting those interviews, Google Meet and Zoom, now ship AI notetaking as a bundled feature at no extra cost. A single-purpose interview notetaker has almost no defensible moat once the video call software itself takes notes for free, and Metaview's free tier and per-call pricing look increasingly hard to justify against a feature that.
