What is Bloks?

Bloks is a personal AI assistant that connects to your calendar and automatically preps every meeting. Before a call, Bloks gives you a briefing: who the participants are (from LinkedIn or emails), what the history of the relationship looks like, what questions to ask. After the meeting, Bloks generates a summary with follow-up actions. The tool runs in the background and does the prep work that most professionals never actually do. For managers or consultants who have back-to-back meetings, it's a real time saver.

Strengths

Automatic meeting prep

The automatic pre-meeting briefing — participant context, relationship history — is the most useful feature in Bloks. Zero effort, maximum preparation.

Post-meeting summary with action items

The automatic meeting summary with next steps eliminates the chore of manual note-taking.

Clean, unobtrusive interface

Bloks runs in the background without requiring active management. It's there when you need it.

Limits

Requires calendar and email access

Bloks needs access to your data to function. A privacy consideration to evaluate based on your context.

Less powerful than specialized notetakers

For advanced transcription and meeting notes, tools like Fireflies or Otter are more complete.

Pricing

Free plan available. Pro plan at $10/month. Check bloks.app for current rates.

Alternatives

Bloks = meeting prep assistant. Fireflies (fireflies.ai) = transcription + action items. Otter (otter.ai) = transcription. Augment Meetings (augment.co) = similar.

Verdict

Bloks is a solid meeting assistant for professionals who want to be better prepared without effort. The briefing + summary combo makes it a discreet, genuinely useful daily tool.
