Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Fathom answers questions about the call in front of you, from the Premium tier. Tactiq answers across stored transcripts on every plan but meters AI by credits — 5 a month on Free, 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team — so the wider reach comes with a ceiling.

FathomTactiq
FathomFathom

Fathom summarises calls, extracts action items and drafts follow-ups, and Ask Fathom answers questions about a single call from Premium. Tracked topics and keyword alerts run across later calls from Team, so some follow-up fires without you opening the meeting.

TactiqTactiq

Tactiq is prompt-led and genuinely capable: Ask Tactiq AI works across stored transcripts, AI Kits store reusable prompt sets, and a workflow builder chains steps into Slack, Notion and HubSpot on every plan. AI credits meter how much runs — 5 a month on Free, 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.
