    "executiveSummary": "The AI transcription landscape in 2026 has shifted from simple speech-to-text conversion to comprehensive 'Meeting Intelligence.' Our analysis indicates that visibility is no longer driven solely by accuracy metrics but by ecosystem integration and agentic capabilities. Fireflies.ai and Otter.ai dominate the conversational visibility space, while Descript maintains a specialized lead in creative workflows. The market is bifurcating between generalist meeting assistants and high-compliance professional services.",
    "keyFindings": [
      "Fireflies.ai holds a 24% higher visibility share in 'automated workflow' queries compared to its nearest competitor.",
      "Claude and Perplexity show a statistically significant preference for Rev and Trint when queries specify 'journalistic integrity' or 'legal compliance'.",
      "Visibility for 'free' transcription tools has declined by 15% as LLMs prioritize 'value-added' intelligence features over basic utility.",
      "Integration with Microsoft Teams and Zoom remains the primary driver for brand mentions in enterprise-level procurement queries."
