What is Fathom?
Fathom is an AI meeting notetaker that records, transcribes and summarizes calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. It produces instant summaries, action items and searchable transcripts, and syncs notes to Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce and other tools. Its free plan includes unlimited recordings and transcription, which is rare in this category.
Taking notes during a call splits your attention, and writing the recap afterward eats time. This notetaker captures the meeting, with a bot or bot-free on Mac, and delivers a summary and next steps as soon as the call ends. You can then ask questions across past calls, share clips, and push notes into your CRM automatically, so sales, customer success and internal teams keep one searchable record of every conversation.
