THE GAP VS NOTETAKERS
Most notetakers only tell you what happened
The Gap tells you why it matters
WHY THE GAP?
Generic notetakers were built for everyone.
The Gap was built for advisory.
Other notetakers do one thing well: they capture what's said in a meeting. For accountants delivering advisory, that's only the beginning.
The Gap's meeting workspace is built on over 20 years of proven advisory practice, not generic automation. Most tools can save you time. The Gap does something more important. It gives you the knowledge, structure, and confidence to deliver meetings that genuinely transform your clients' businesses.
01
They transcribe.
We tell you why it matters.
A generic notetaker provides a clean, organised record of your conversation.
The Gap's AI agents are trained on decades of advisory expertise, so the outputs don't just summarise what happened, they surface what it means for your client's business.
02
They show up at the meeting.
We help you prepare for it.
Generic tools start recording when you hit join.
The Gap starts working before the meeting does. With structured agendas, pre-work questionnaires sent to clients, and AI-summarised responses you walk into a meeting knowing exactly where to focus.
03
They produce summaries.
We produce deliverables.
After a meeting, generic notetakers give you notes and action items.
The Gap takes your agenda, notes, pre-work and transcript, and then turns them into professional, client-ready deliverables before you leave the room.
04
They record your meetings.
We help you improve them.
The Gap’s coaching agent reviews how the meeting went and offers personalised improvement suggestions, pointing you to the right Gap Academy resources to keep getting better with every session.
Gap Academy also includes an active community of advisory accountants, a place to share what’s working, ask questions, and grow alongside peers who are on the same journey
It’s the only notetaker that comes with CPD hours and a community.
05
They're a tool you bolt on.
We're a methodology you build on.
Generic notetakers are passive, they work alongside whatever you already do.
The Gap is built by accountants for accountants; every template, every agent, and every output is grounded in over 20 years of proven advisory practice, not generic automation. Gap Academy ensures every team member has the education, CPD training, support and community to enable them to deliver great client meetings, every time.
Not bolted on as an afterthought. Built in from the start.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Gap AI different than other AI tools?
Most AI tools give you generic output. The Gap’s AI agents are built on decades of advisory experience. They know what good advisory looks like, and help your whole team deliver better advisory meetings every time.
How is your notetaker different than [Fireflies, Otter, Granola, etc]?
Most notetakers are pretty good at transcribing and summarising meetings, but they’re also generic.
Our notetaker agent, Scribe, is just as capable of doing that, but when paired with our other advisory agents it creates a richer, more detailed record grounded in years of advisory expertise.
Where other notetakers capture what happened, we’ll tell you why it matters.
Do you integrate with other notetaker tools?
The Gap’s AI Workspace comes with its own in-built notetaking agent, Scribe, but if you already use one you like and are happy with that’s fine too.
We don’t support direct integrations at the moment, but you can copy-paste a transcript from any other notetaker software, paste it into ours, and still take advantage of our advisory agents to create rich, professional deliverables from the meeting.
How is this different from a workflow or practice management tool?
Workflow tools help you manage tasks and track client work. The Gap focuses on the meeting itself, the preparation, the conversation, and the deliverables that come out of it.
Think of it as what happens at a critical point within the wider workflow.
How is this different from other meeting platforms like Teams or Zoom?
Meeting platforms host the conversation. The Gap’s workspace is built around what the conversation is for – helping advisors prepare, stay focused, and leave with everything they need without extra work.
Do you train your agents with my data?
No, our agents are not trained using your data. We only train our agents using years of our own advisory experience and methodologies. Your data is safe.
