Where the real difference is
Botless recording is table-stakes for both — no argument there. TalkBase adds a layer Bluedot doesn't have: the project as the unit, inputs from Slack/Telegram and files, async pitches, and a living auto-document via DIFF. Put simply — much broader functionality.

Where TalkBase is different

One customer who switched put it simply — 'much broader functionality.'
