Dailies vs BluedotThe Bluedot alternative for shorts that are picked, cut and captioned for you
Bluedot and Dailies have more in common than most pairs on these pages: both can record a call’s video without a bot, and both let something be cut from it. The cut is where they part. In Bluedot, you clip a passage yourself and trim it by deleting words in the transcript, to share it with your team. In Dailies, the passages are picked for you and come back as vertical shorts, reframed on whoever speaks and captioned, a few minutes after the call. Bluedot also writes the meeting’s notes, which Dailies does not.

What Bluedot does
Bluedot is an AI note-taker that records meetings without a bot. Its Chrome extension records Google Meet from the browser, with video or audio only; its desktop app records Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles, and Google Meet in audio only. It also covers in-person meetings and takes video or audio files you upload. Recordings are kept, shared by link or email, and can be downloaded. Bluedot writes a transcript, notes, a summary and action items, transcribes and summarises in more than 100 languages including French, lets people comment on key moments, and connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Google Drive and Zapier. You can clip a Google Meet video into snippets to share, and edit a recording through its transcript: delete words, pauses or sentences, and the video is trimmed to match. Bluedot leaves it to you to notify participants, and can display a consent message before or during a recording, depending on workspace settings.
Where Dailies and Bluedot differ
You clip in Bluedot, Dailies picks
Bluedot gives you the tools to cut: you choose the passage worth sharing and clip it. We found no automatic selection of passages on the Bluedot pages we read. Dailies makes that choice itself: a few minutes after the call, it delivers up to eight shorts cut from the passages it picked, each with a line above it, the question it answers.
A snippet for your team, a short for your feed
Bluedot describes its clips as shareable snippets, a way to pass a key insight on to your team. The pages we read mention no vertical 9:16 format, no burned-in captions and no reframing on the speaker. Dailies’ output is made for a phone: vertical 9:16, reframed on whoever speaks, your webcam or your guest’s tile cropped on their face, with animated captions burned in, in fifteen styles.
Trimmed by you, or cleaned up for you
In Bluedot you edit on the transcript: select words, pauses or sentences, delete them, and the video is trimmed automatically. You decide every cut. Dailies removes silences, filler words and false starts by itself in each short it delivers.
Where Bluedot does more
Notes, summaries and action items, transcription in more than 100 languages, comments on key moments, integrations with a CRM, in-person meetings, files you upload, and a desktop app for Zoom, Teams and Slack huddles. Dailies writes no meeting notes, summaries or action items, records only the calls you hold in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client, and does not edit a video you upload.
Questions people ask
Can Bluedot make clips from a Google Meet recording?
Yes. Bluedot states that you can clip your Google Meet video into shareable snippets, and edit a recording by deleting words, pauses or sentences in its transcript, which trims the video to match. You make these clips yourself. The pages we read mention no vertical 9:16 format and no burned-in captions.
Does Bluedot pick the best moments of a call automatically?
We found no automatic selection of passages on the Bluedot pages we read: you choose what to clip. Dailies picks up to eight passages per call by itself and delivers them as captioned vertical shorts.
Does Bluedot record without a bot?
Yes. Its Chrome extension records Google Meet from the browser, and its desktop app records Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles and Google Meet in audio only, without a bot being invited. Dailies also records without a bot, from a Chrome extension.
Does Dailies replace Bluedot?
Not for meeting notes. Dailies writes no notes, summaries or action items. If what you want from a call is content to post, Dailies does the picking, the cutting and the captions. If you want a record of the meeting and passages to share with your team, Bluedot covers that.
Does Bluedot work in French?
Bluedot states that it transcribes and summarises in more than 100 languages, French included, and its website has a French version. We could not tell from the pages we read whether the app’s interface is in French. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
