Install the Chrome extension. Start using Kolva right away. No setup wizard needed. No bot configuration either. Share your tab audio and you're recording meetings with AI transcription in minutes.
Pay-as-you-go makes sense if subscription bloat drives you crazy. Meeting transcription costs $0.25 per hour. Most people clock 5-10 hours of meetings monthly — so you'd spend $2.50 instead of the $20+ that Otter or Fireflies charge. You only pay for what you actually use.
Product managers hopping between Zoom calls and Google Meet sessions will love how Kolva works across any web-based meeting platform. No bots joining your calls either. It captures audio directly from your Chrome tab. Focus Mode lets you plan your entire day on one canvas while AI handles task intelligence in the background.
Chrome-only limits your options though.
Say you're in back-to-back client calls on Tuesday. Kolva records everything. Generates summaries. Turns action items into trackable tasks. Upload those PDFs from the morning prep into Smart Documents and search through everything with AI. Your $2 monthly credit covers about 6 hours of transcription, which handles most people's meeting load.
Smart Documents with PIN-protected storage adds another layer beyond basic transcription tools. You can ask questions across all your uploaded files and meeting transcripts. For teams already living in Chrome and wanting to escape subscription fatigue, Kolva delivers focused functionality without the monthly commitment.
