Daria vs Tabletop Arc

Tabletop Arc and Daria agree about the important thing

Tabletop Arc timestamps every extracted fact back to the transcript. That is the same conviction Daria is built on — an answer you cannot check is not a record — so this comparison is mostly about how the audio reaches each of them.

What Tabletop Arc is

An AI memory layer for campaigns. You upload session audio; it transcribes, extracts entities and events, writes a GM recap and a player-safe summary, and updates a living “Lore Wall” wiki — with every fact timestamped back to the transcript it came from. Image generation is included as well.

What we confirmed it does

  • Accepts audio recorded elsewhere
  • Writes the recap for you
  • Builds a campaign wiki
  • Generates artwork
  • Answers cite the session they came from

This is what we could verify, not a complete list of what it does — anything missing here is something we did not check, not something it lacks. Its own site is the authority.

What Tabletop Arc is genuinely good at

Where Daria differs

She captures the session herself. On Discord she joins the voice channel and records every player on a separate track, so attribution is never inferred. At a physical table she records the room through a laptop or phone microphone and separates the voices afterwards, with a one-time step where you name each speaker. Uploading is still available — Craig links, Zoom recordings, audio files up to 2GB — but it is the fallback rather than the whole workflow.

The recap lands where your table already is. A recap card is posted into your Discord channel minutes after /stop, rather than waiting for somebody to open a web app and find it.

She can read the VTT. The optional Foundry module adds dice rolls, spell casts, item uses and conditions to the transcript at the moment they happened, with whispered, blind and self-rolls filtered inside Foundry and chat never transmitted.

On citations the two tools agree, and Daria extends it outward: answers from /ask and the dashboard link to the session and scene, and the same sourced campaign is queryable from Claude or ChatGPT through the MCP server.

Which one fits your table?

Choose Tabletop Arc if

You already have a recording habit that works — a phone on the table, an OBS mix, a Craig routine — and you want something excellent to process it. It is available today, the citation discipline is real, and being upload-first means it never cares which platform your table plays on.

Choose Daria if

The recording itself is the part that keeps failing — nobody remembered, the file was lost, the phone died — and you would rather one command handled it, whether the table is on Discord or in a living room.

Questions about Tabletop Arc and Daria

Can I just upload audio to Daria like I do with Tabletop Arc?

Yes. Craig links, Zoom recordings and plain audio files up to 2GB in MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG or WebM, plus Crit Scribbler transcript exports. Imported sessions run the same pipeline and take their place in the campaign timeline.

Does Daria produce a player-safe recap?

The recap posted to your Discord channel is written for the table to read together. Tabletop Arc’s explicit two-document split — a GM version and a player version — is more deliberate about it than Daria is today.
