What is Tactiq?
Tactiq is an AI meeting assistant centered on a Chrome extension and web workspace. During supported Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom sessions, it reads the meeting platform's live captions and presents a speaker-attributed transcript to the user. Its standard browser workflow does not add a note-taking bot as another participant. After or during the call, users can ask questions, generate summaries, decisions, action items, and follow-up emails, save reusable prompts, share results, or trigger workflows.
That distinction matters. “No bot” reduces meeting-room clutter, but it does not mean no processing or no notification duty. The transcript is visible only to the Tactiq user by default, and Tactiq offers a notification message, yet the person or organization enabling transcription remains responsible for workplace policy, participant expectations, contract terms, and applicable consent law.
Capture and accuracy boundaries
Tactiq depends on the supported platform and client. Its official Zoom guidance requires the user to join through a web browser and have automated captions enabled; the normal Zoom desktop application is not the supported path. Google Meet and Microsoft Teams also use browser integration. A macOS option exists for some desktop capture, but a team should test its exact operating systems, browsers, caption settings, languages, and meeting policies instead of assuming universal coverage.
The product advertises more than 60 languages, live speaker identification, and immediate access to the transcript. Accuracy still depends on the conferencing platform's captions, microphone quality, overlap, accents, names, numbers, and specialist vocabulary. Correct participants, dates, amounts, commitments, owners, and deadlines before distributing minutes. A generated “decision” may summarize a proposal, and an action item may omit a condition or assign the wrong person.
Tactiq can also save meeting chat messages automatically alongside a transcript unless that setting is disabled. Chat may contain links, credentials, side discussions, or personal information that participants did not expect in the final record. Review capture settings before the first production meeting, not after a sensitive chat has already been stored.
Plans, transcription credits, and AI credits
Tactiq uses two different allowance concepts. Free users receive 10 meeting transcription credits per month, and one meeting longer than two minutes consumes one credit. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over. When the allowance is exhausted, later meetings may show only a preview; a new month's credits do not retroactively unlock those older previews, so access requires an upgrade.
AI credits pay for generated actions such as summaries or prompts. The Free plan lists five AI credits per month. Pro costs $8 per user per month with annual billing or $12 with monthly billing; it adds unlimited transcripts but lists 10 AI credits per month. Team costs $16.67 per user per month annually or $20 monthly and lists unlimited transcripts and AI credits.
Business is $29.16 per user per month annually or $40 monthly and targets organizations with roughly 20 or more users. It adds data retention, AI meeting agents, SAML SSO, and dedicated support. Enterprise uses custom pricing, generally for 200 or more users, and adds advanced retention and account controls. Checkout may localize prices. Compare the live plan at purchase because seat thresholds, AI usage, and packaged features can change independently.
Privacy, retention, sharing, and MCP
Tactiq says requested AI generation uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI enterprise APIs rather than the consumer ChatGPT service. Its documentation states that submitted data is not used to train Azure OpenAI models and that a service modification disables content logging, including abuse-monitoring logging. TLS protects data in transit, and the privacy policy says stored data uses Google Cloud. These are vendor statements, so regulated buyers should still obtain the current agreement, subprocessor list, control report, and incident terms.
Business and Enterprise administrators can configure transcript retention from 6 to 60 months, calculated from the last modification. Expired transcripts enter an archive for 30 days before permanent removal and can be restored during that window. Enterprise can request more tailored rules. Personal data otherwise follows the policy's purpose-based retention language, and users can delete their accounts. Test what happens to copies already exported to PDF, text, Google Drive, Slack, or another integration—deleting Tactiq's copy cannot be assumed to delete every downstream copy.
The same caution applies to team sharing, automated workflows, uploaded recordings, and Tactiq's MCP server. These features make transcripts more useful but expand the data boundary. Use least-privilege access, separate ordinary meetings from HR, legal, health, finance, incident, and customer-confidential calls, and restrict which AI clients or tools can query meeting history.
Verdict
Tactiq is a practical choice for people who want live notes in supported browser meetings without a bot participant. Its immediate transcript, summaries, questions, and workflows can reduce manual follow-up, while its documented plan and privacy details support a more informed evaluation. A good pilot covers a narrow meeting type, explicit participant notice, real accents and vocabulary, a correction workflow, short retention, limited sharing, and measured accuracy for decisions and owners. Treat generated notes as a draft operational aid—not as an unquestioned record of what people agreed to.
