Free AI notetaker that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls.
Last updated · Filed under Meeting Assistants
About this tool
Fathom is a free AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarizes video calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. After each meeting Fathom produces a clean summary with sections like next steps, decisions and topics discussed, plus highlight clips that users can share. The Ask Fathom chat lets teams query past meetings, while Fathom Team Edition adds shared meeting libraries, CRM sync to Salesforce, HubSpot and Close, and Slack and email notifications. The product is popular with founders, sales reps and consultants because the core single-user experience is free with no recording limits, and the paid Team tiers focus on workflow automation rather than gating basic transcription. Fathom has emphasized speed and quality of summaries as its main differentiator, with recent releases adding multi-language support and AI Action Items.
