Stay invisible in every meeting
OLVA works without joining as a visible bot, so you can get live support without changing the room dynamic.
OLVA vs Recall
OLVA and Recall: What's the difference?
Recall is a powerful knowledge management and content summarization platform. Olva takes a different approach by helping users during meetings with automatic question detection, instant answers, AI coaching, fact checking, opportunity detection, document-aware intelligence, and real-time meeting insights.

Recall is a fit when its specific workflow is your team's main need
When to use each tool
Use Recall when you need:
- Your team needs agendas, meeting process, or accountability workflows
- Collaboration before and after the meeting is the main priority
- Live question handling is less important than meeting operations
Use OLVA when you need:
- Private real-time help during sales, customer, product, or executive meetings
- Automatic question detection and contextual answers while you listen
- Botless support across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Webex, and in-person meetings
Bottom line
Choose Recall when its specific workflow is exactly what your team needs. Choose OLVA when the live meeting itself is the moment that matters. OLVA still gives you transcripts, summaries, insights, and searchable memory after the call, but its biggest advantage is private assistance while you are still in the conversation.
Your best meeting moments happen before the recap
OLVA helps you stay present, answer clearly, and follow up faster without adding a visible bot to the call.
