Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about wallet credit, usage, subscriptions, and how Tycoon charges for work.
How is this different from Fireflies' or Otter's built-in AI summary?
Fireflies and Otter give you a summary. Tycoon gives you a handed-off team. The summary is a start — but the value is what happens next: the follow-up email drafted and waiting for you, the Linear issues created with the right assignees, the CRM updated, the invoice triggered. Fireflies summarizes a meeting; Tycoon converts a meeting into executed work across your whole AI team. The difference shows up 3 days later — with Fireflies you've forgotten half the actions; with Tycoon they're done or in progress.
Can it distinguish between 'I should do X' (founder action) and 'someone should do X' (team action)?
Yes, and it asks when ambiguous. The AI COO uses pronoun patterns, role context, and your workspace's org structure to route actions. 'I'll send the pricing doc' (said by you) → you. 'Let's send them the pricing doc' → AI Sales Rep. 'I need to think about whether to make this hire' → you. If unsure, the AI COO routes conservatively (to you) and asks in chat: 'Should I give this to AI Head of Content or is this yours?' After a few meetings it learns your patterns.
What about meetings without a recorder — in-person, phone, no transcript?
You have two options. One: record on your phone (Zoom lets you do audio-only Zoom calls even in-person; Granola works from your desktop mic). Two: tell the AI COO what happened in chat after the meeting — 'Just had coffee with [person]. Covered X, Y, Z. We're going to [action].' It structures it the same way and creates the same actions. Most founders use a mix — recorder for customer/investor calls, verbal post-call summary for brainstorms.
How does this compare to Paperclip's meeting workflows?
Paperclip has no native meeting-to-action pipeline. You'd have to wire up a Zapier between Fireflies and Linear, write the AI prompt to extract actions, maintain the routing rules, and debug it every time Zoom changes its API. Tycoon treats the whole flow as a workflow owned by the AI COO — the routing logic, the follow-up drafting, the tracking to completion. It's not an integration you maintain; it's a teammate who runs it.
Does it work for private/confidential meetings like board calls or legal counsel?
Yes, with workspace-level privacy. You can mark a meeting as 'confidential' and the AI COO processes it in an isolated memory scope — the transcript is used for summary and actions, then purged. Nothing from a confidential meeting bleeds into the broader AI team's context. For legal counsel specifically, most founders prefer to take the notes themselves and just paste the action list into Tycoon — the AI routes actions without ever seeing the transcript.
