The answer, as recorded
For remote teams, "note-taking" really splits into two jobs: a shared place where notes live, and something that captures meetings you're all on. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: **Shared workspace / team notes** 1. **Notion** - the default I'd start with for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing, granular permissions, databases so notes connect to projects, a huge template library, and solid AI search across the workspace. It's the one most new hires already know. Downside: it gets messy without someone owning the structure. 2. **Slite** - my pick if Notion feels like too much tool. Purpose-built as a clean internal wiki, and its "Ask" feature answers questions with citations back to your own docs - genuinely useful for async teams across time zones. Sweet spot is roughly 5-50 people, ~$8/user/mo. 3. **Confluence** - the boring-but-right answer if you're already on Jira/Atlassian. Best-in-class permissions and admin controls, enterprise-ready. Pages do tend toward walls of text that nobody reads. 4. **Coda** - best when your notes want to *do* something (trackers, interactive docs, lightweight apps). Its pricing is unusually kind to big teams since only doc *creators* pay seats, not readers. Caveat: reporting indicates it's being folded into Grammarly/Superhuman as "Superhuman Docs," so weigh some roadmap uncertainty. 5. **Obsidian** - I'd name it only if your team is privacy-focused or markdown-native and willing to sync via Git. It's excellent for individual knowledge work but has no real built-in collaboration, databases, or boards. **AI meeting notes** (most remote teams need one of these alongside the above) 1. **Granola** - my favorite for a distributed team. No bot joins the call, it records device-side and merges your own typed notes with the AI summary, so the output reads like something a human wrote. ~$14/user/mo for Business. 2. **Fathom** - the best free tier, by a wide margin (unlimited recordings). Strong CRM integrations; the natural choice for sales-heavy teams. 3. **Fireflies.ai** - the one to pick for a broad org-wide rollout; admin controls and integrations are built for that. 4. **Otter.ai** - go here if transcript accuracy and searching years of back-catalog calls matter more than pretty summaries. If you want a single answer: **Notion + Granola**. That covers the shared knowledge base and the meeting capture, and they stay out of each other's way.
