Frequently asked questions
How is Heyalo different from Bluedot?
Both are invisible to other meeting participants. Bluedot focuses on post-call documentation: transcripts, summaries, and CRM sync. Heyalo focuses on real-time coaching: buying signals, objection counters, and mid-call AI chat during the live call. Heyalo also generates post-call recaps, but its primary value is in-call intelligence.
Is Bluedot or Heyalo better for sales calls?
For sales specifically, Heyalo provides more value because it coaches during the conversation when the outcome can still change. Bluedot tells you what happened after the call ends. If your primary need is accurate transcription and CRM sync, Bluedot is excellent at that.
Do both Bluedot and Heyalo work without a bot?
Yes. Bluedot captures audio via a Chrome extension. Heyalo captures audio privately in the browser with no extension required. Neither joins the meeting as a visible participant. The main difference is what happens with the audio: Bluedot transcribes it after the call, Heyalo analyzes it in real time during the call.
Does Bluedot offer real-time coaching?
No. Bluedot is focused on recording and post-call processing. It does not provide real-time coaching, buying signal alerts, or mid-call AI assistance. These are core Heyalo features.
