Move your team from tl;dv to Supernormal.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Supernormal — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in tl;dv is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both tools let users leverage accumulated meeting content to generate new outputs beyond raw notes — Supernormal does this through an AI agent that produces finished documents (emails, decks, spreadsheets), while tl;dv does it through 'Ask tl;dv', which queries one or many meetings to surface trends, recurring themes, and scheduled AI reports. Moving from Supernormal to tl;dv: the use-case of asking 'What decisions did we make this quarter?' maps to the Ask tl;dv multi-meeting query; set up recurring AI Reports in tl;dv to deliver weekly/monthly insight digests to Slack or email in place of Supernormal's agent-generated briefs. Moving from tl;dv to Supernormal: the Ask tl;dv query experience maps to Supernormal's plain-language agent requests ('Draft the follow-up from yesterday's call'); users who used multi-meeting trend queries should note that Supernormal's agent focuses on producing a finished document from a specific meeting or project, not on aggregating themes across a meeting library.
- Warning: Supernormal's AI agent produces exportable finished work products (slide decks, spreadsheets, mood boards, images) from meeting context; tl;dv's Ask tl;dv returns text summaries and timestamped evidence — it does not generate presentation files or spreadsheets.
- Warning: tl;dv Free caps Ask tl;dv at 10 lifetime prompts; Supernormal Free allows agent deliverables within the 15-credit/month budget (5-credit daily cap). Heavy users of either will need a paid plan, but the metering systems are not equivalent.
- Warning: tl;dv's recurring AI Reports are delivered to email today; delivery to Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack is described as forthcoming via Zapier — teams depending on those destinations should verify availability before migrating from Supernormal.
Both products offer a desktop-app capture path that records meetings by capturing system audio rather than joining as a visible bot, so the core silent-capture workflow is portable between them. Moving from Supernormal to tl;dv: install the tl;dv desktop app (available at tldv.io/desktop-app) and connect your calendar; tl;dv will then capture via system audio just as Supernormal does, with no bot appearing in the participants list. For meetings on Zoom or Teams where a bot is acceptable, tl;dv also supports the traditional bot-join path, giving more flexibility. Moving from tl;dv to Supernormal: uninstall or disconnect the tl;dv bot from your calendar, install the Supernormal desktop app, and reconnect Google Calendar or Outlook — Supernormal will auto-generate notes from the next scheduled meeting without any bot. Note that Supernormal's desktop capture is the only capture mode (there is no bot option), so teams that deliberately used the tl;dv bot for logging purposes need to adjust expectations.
- Warning: Supernormal supports desktop (bot-free) capture only; tl;dv supports both desktop (bot-free) and bot-join. Teams moving from tl;dv who relied on tl;dv's bot to record on behalf of absent participants cannot replicate this on Supernormal, since Supernormal requires the desktop app to be running on an attendee's machine.
- Warning: tl;dv Free includes unlimited recording and transcription (no meeting-count cap, 3-hour max per meeting, 3-month retention); Supernormal Free meters capture through 15 credits/month with a 5-credit daily cap, so high-volume users will exhaust the Free plan faster on Supernormal.
- Warning: tl;dv retains recordings for only 3 months on the Free plan; Supernormal does not prominently document a retention window on its Free plan, so long-term archive needs should be verified before switching.
Both tools push meeting outputs into third-party apps via a mix of native connectors and Zapier, so the downstream integration layer is migrateable. Moving from Supernormal to tl;dv: audit which Supernormal integrations (Google Calendar, Google Drive, Gmail, Linear, Zapier triggers) your team uses, then replicate each in tl;dv's integrations panel (tldv.io/integrations). For HubSpot and Zoho, tl;dv has native connectors; for Salesforce, configure tl;dv's Zapier integration (the Free plan includes 20 Zapier credits, Pro unlocks all 5000+ integrations). Replace Supernormal's 'New Meeting Notes' Zapier trigger with tl;dv's equivalent Zapier app. Moving from tl;dv to Supernormal: connect Google Calendar or Outlook for auto-note generation, enable the Zapier integration in Supernormal to re-establish workflows that used tl;dv's Zapier triggers, and note that Supernormal's native connector list is narrower — Google Drive, Gmail, Linear, and Zapier for everything else.
- Warning: Supernormal has native connectors only for Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Google Drive, Gmail, and Linear; everything else routes through Zapier. tl;dv has native connectors for HubSpot, Zoho, Outlook, OneDrive, Box, Google Docs, Discord, and Greenhouse, so teams with HubSpot or Zoho workflows can get a direct native integration on tl;dv that doesn't exist natively on Supernormal.
- Warning: tl;dv's deep CRM field mapping (custom field writes to HubSpot/Salesforce) is a Business plan feature; Supernormal relies on Zapier for CRM field pushes with no comparable native field-mapping on any plan.
- Warning: Supernormal's Salesforce connector is Zapier-only on all plans; tl;dv's Salesforce connector is also Zapier-based (not listed as a native connector), so neither product offers a true native Salesforce push.
Supernormal's MCP integration and tl;dv's highlights-and-clips feature represent two distinct ways to surface key moments from meeting content in downstream workflows — one via AI assistant context, the other via shareable video clips and timestamped references. Moving from Supernormal to tl;dv: users who connected Supernormal's MCP server to Claude to ask questions about past meetings can replicate the Q&A behavior using Ask tl;dv (the multi-meeting query tool); for sharing specific moments with stakeholders, use tl;dv's clip and timestamp feature — select a segment in the tl;dv recording, generate a shareable clip link, and send it instead of forwarding a full transcript. Moving from tl;dv to Supernormal: to replace timestamped highlights, copy the relevant section from Supernormal's transcript or notes and paste it into your communication tool; for teams that want AI-assisted retrieval of past meeting content, set up the Supernormal MCP server ('claude mcp add supernormal --transport http https://api.supernormal.com/mcp') so Claude can query Supernormal meeting history directly.
- Warning: Supernormal's MCP server requires an AI client that supports MCP (Claude Code, Claude Web Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise, or Cursor); there is no equivalent MCP integration in tl;dv, so teams that built AI workflows on top of Supernormal via MCP have no direct tl;dv replacement — Ask tl;dv is the closest approximation but is a separate interface, not an AI-client plugin.
- Warning: tl;dv Free caps shareable (non-downloadable) clips at 4 total; paid plans lift this cap. Supernormal has no native clip feature at all, so teams moving from tl;dv who relied on clips for stakeholder sharing need to plan a workaround on Supernormal (typically copying a transcript excerpt).
- Warning: tl;dv's highlights and clips are video-first (the clip is a video segment); Supernormal has no video recording feature at all — it produces text notes and transcripts only. Video-centric workflows cannot be replicated on Supernormal.
Both tools auto-generate structured notes, summaries, and action items after each meeting, so teams switching between them can maintain the same post-meeting workflow. Moving from Supernormal to tl;dv: export Supernormal notes (copy or download from the rich-text editor) before cutting over, then connect tl;dv to Google Calendar or Outlook so its bot auto-joins future meetings; configure a note template in tl;dv (MEDDIC, BANT, or a custom format) to match whatever structure your team relied on in Supernormal. Moving from tl;dv to Supernormal: install the Supernormal desktop app and link your calendar; Supernormal captures audio directly on your machine (no bot), so no calendar-bot configuration is needed — notes appear automatically after each call. Action items in Supernormal are tracked centrally and can be converted to Linear issues via the native integration; tl;dv surfaces action items within summaries and can push them downstream via Zapier or Slack.
- Warning: tl;dv Free plan gives only 10 lifetime AI-note meetings (after which only the first 10 minutes of each meeting are summarized); Supernormal Free gives 15 credits/month with a 5-credit daily cap — teams on free tiers will hit limits differently and at different cadences.
- Warning: Supernormal uses a Notion-style rich-text editor where notes can be reorganized manually; tl;dv's summary output is structured but not a free-form document editor, so teams that heavily reformat notes in Supernormal will lose that workflow on tl;dv.
- Warning: tl;dv supports custom note templates (MEDDIC, BANT, Smart AI Topics); Supernormal does not expose comparable configurable note schemas, so teams migrating from tl;dv may need to recreate their formatting conventions manually.
