Take Action on Contacts
Record Live Audio and Create an AI Note
Swivel’s Recording feature allows you to capture live audio from a conversation and save the recording directly to a contact. You can then use AI Notetaker to transcribe the recording into a note.
The Recordings feature lets you record and store audio directly inside a contact’s profile. This makes it easy to capture voice notes, document client conversations, and save important audio for future reference.
Recordings automatically generate a transcript, which is added as a note on the contact’s record. You can also generate a structured AI Summary, which can be customized using AI Templates.
