Dailies vs Sembly AIThe Sembly AI alternative for getting video out of your client calls, not documents
Sembly AI and Dailies both take a client meeting and make something of it. Sembly AI makes documents: notes, tasks, then branded proposals, reports and decks, for professional services firms. Dailies makes video: it records the call in Chrome and cuts its best passages into captioned vertical shorts to post. One hands your client a deliverable after the meeting. The other shows people who were not in the meeting how you reason.

What Sembly AI does
Sembly AI records and transcribes meetings, and now presents itself as deliverable production for professional services: a client brief goes in, a branded deck comes out. Its agent connects to your calendar and attends your Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex meetings automatically or on invitation, as a visible participant; it posts a chat message when it joins and emails attendees about the recording. A mobile app records in-person conversations, and you can upload pre-recorded files in MP3, WAV, MP4 and other formats. It produces a transcript with speaker attribution, notes adapted to the type of meeting, a summary, key items and tasks, then client deliverables as editable PowerPoint or Word files. Meetings can be searched by keyword or timecode, and bookmarks pin a moment and send a direct link to it. It lists 48 languages, French among them, with two active languages per session. The product page we read does not say whether video is recorded.
Where Dailies and Sembly AI differ
A deck or a short
What Sembly AI produces is a document: meeting notes, tasks, and deliverables such as proposals, reports and decks, as PowerPoint or Word files you can edit. What Dailies produces is a video: up to eight vertical 9:16 shorts per call, reframed on whoever speaks, with animated captions burned in and the silences, filler words and false starts cut out. Neither does the other’s job. Dailies writes no notes, no summary and no action items.
A link to a moment, or a short to post
In Sembly AI you pin a moment of a meeting and send a direct link to it to anyone who has access. We found no video clip feature on the pages we read, and its product page does not say whether video is kept. Dailies records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, so every passage it keeps has its picture, yours or your guest’s, in a file you download in Full HD and post yourself.
How each one attends the call
Sembly AI joins as a visible participant, connected to your calendar, and tells attendees about the recording by a chat message and by email. Dailies is a Chrome extension: it records from your browser, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client, with no bot in the call.
Files and in-person meetings
Sembly AI also accepts pre-recorded files, in MP3, WAV, MP4 and other formats, and records in-person conversations from its mobile app. Dailies does neither: it only works on the calls it records itself in Chrome, and does not edit a video you upload.
Questions people ask
Can Sembly AI make video clips of a meeting?
We found no video clip feature on the Sembly AI pages we read. It offers bookmarks: you pin a moment and send a direct link to it to anyone who has access. Its product page does not say whether video is recorded. What it produces is transcripts, notes, tasks and documents.
Does Sembly AI join the call as a bot?
Yes. Sembly AI states that it joins the call as a participant everyone can see, posts a chat message when it joins and emails attendees about the recording. Dailies records from a Chrome extension, with no bot in the call.
Does Dailies replace Sembly AI?
No. Dailies writes no notes, no tasks and no deliverable for your client. It turns the calls it records into shorts to post. If you need a document for your client and content for your audience, those are two tools for two results.
Does Sembly AI support French?
Yes for transcription: French is among the 48 languages it lists, with two active languages per session. We did not find its interface languages on the pages we read. 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.
