Compare to Zoom AI

Why teams switch from Zoom AI to Maple

Zoom AI Companion works well inside Zoom—but it's blind to the rest of your workspace. Maple runs locally, indexes Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, and your screen, keeping context connected without sending your data to the cloud.

Side-by-side comparison

Zoom AI

  • Works only inside the Zoom application
  • Data processed and stored in Zoom's cloud
  • No screen, browser, or code context

Maple

  • Works across Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, and offline
  • 100% local database with AES-256 encryption
  • Continuous screen-aware memory and OCR

Key differences

Screen Context

Zoom AI

Entirely blind to what you are looking at, coding, or reading outside the call screen.

Maple

Continuously indexes your active screen, open documents, and applications for instant recall.

Meeting Coverage

Zoom AI

Restricted to Zoom meetings only. Cannot capture Slack huddles, Google Meet, or physical face-to-face talks.

Maple

Acts as a system-level listener, transcribing audio from any voice application and local recordings.

Privacy & Storage

Zoom AI

Saves transcripts and audio analysis to the cloud, requiring enterprise admin configurations.

Maple

No cloud storage lock-in. Everything is saved locally in an encrypted SQLite database on your machine.

Access & UX

Zoom AI

Delivers summaries after the meeting through email notifications or the online Zoom portal.

Maple

Summon instantly using a global shortcut (⌥ Space) to reference details from any past call in real time.
