Earmark vs Microsoft Copilot
Copilot recaps the meeting. Earmark ships the work.
Microsoft Copilot and Teams intelligent recap give you AI notes and recommended tasks inside Teams. Earmark goes further for product and engineering teams: it captures botlessly across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in person, and turns the live conversation into PRDs, Linear and Jira tickets, decision logs, and stakeholder updates before the call ends — no premium license required.

Why product teams pick Earmark
Beyond the recap
Copilot gives you a tidy recap, AI notes, and recommended tasks inside Teams — then you turn them into work. Earmark drafts the PRD, the tickets, and the decision log themselves, so you leave with the deliverable, not a recap to act on later.
Not locked to Teams
Copilot's intelligent recap lives inside Microsoft Teams and needs a Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Earmark captures device-side on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in person — no platform lock-in, no premium seat required.
Built for how product teams ship
Copilot is general-purpose Microsoft productivity. Earmark generates decision logs, acceptance criteria, and Linear and Jira tickets in the formats product and engineering teams already execute with — in real time, as you talk.
Trusted by product teams who ship through conversation
“Earmark transforms planning calls straight into PRDs and JIRA tickets. An indispensable PM tool that saves hours of documentation.”
“No other AI transcription tool gives this level of flexibility. Cuts my admin time by about 75%.”
“Earmark is far beyond a basic meeting tool — task agents build summaries, follow-ups, and deliverables while we’re still talking.”
Questions?
How is Earmark different from Microsoft Copilot in Teams?
Copilot's intelligent recap produces meeting notes, a recap, and recommended tasks inside Microsoft Teams. Earmark's output is finished work: PRDs, tickets, decision logs, and updates — generated in real time for product and engineering teams, on any meeting platform.
Do I still need Earmark if my company already pays for Teams and Copilot?
If you only need recaps and notes inside Teams, Copilot covers that. Earmark earns its place when you need the meeting to become shippable work — full PRDs, Jira and Linear tickets, and decision logs — and when your meetings happen on Zoom, Meet, or in person too.
Does Earmark only work on certain meeting platforms?
No. Earmark captures device-side, so it works across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and in-person meetings. Copilot's intelligent recap is limited to Microsoft Teams calls and meetings.
Can Earmark create Jira and Linear tickets?
Yes — with titles, descriptions, and acceptance criteria, pushed to Linear and Jira before the meeting ends. Copilot's task routing is limited and typically requires Power Automate to reach non-Microsoft tools.
Is my meeting data private?
Earmark is privacy-first: it doesn't store raw audio by default and never trains on your data. Copilot operates within your Microsoft 365 tenant under admin-managed governance and licensing.
Leave your next meeting with the work already done.
