Fellow

AI meeting notes, transcripts, and action items without a bot joining your call

Overview

Fellow is an AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls, then converts what was discussed into action items your team can actually track. Its main difference from most competitors is how it records: instead of a visible bot joining your Zoom or Meet call, the desktop app captures audio and video natively on your machine, which some teams prefer for privacy and for not adding an extra participant to the call.

It is aimed at sales teams, managers, and anyone running back-to-back meetings who wants notes and follow-ups handled automatically instead of manually. The free plan only gives five AI notes for the lifetime of the account, not per month, so it is really just a trial, and the paid tiers step up quickly if you need CRM automation or org-wide analytics. For teams already living in Salesforce or project tools, the integrations make the jump worthwhile.

Key Features

  • No-Bot Recording: Captures audio and video natively through the desktop app instead of sending a visible bot into your call.

  • AI Meeting Notes: Transcribes and summarizes meetings automatically across Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

  • Multi-Language Support: Transcription and summarization across 35+ languages.

  • CRM Integration: Advanced Salesforce and HubSpot sync on higher tiers, including AI-powered field updates.

  • Meeting Automations: Turns discussion into action items that sync with Asana, Monday, Jira, Linear, and ClickUp.

  • Compliance-Ready: SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant, with transcript redaction available on Enterprise.

Pros

  • No Visible Bot: Native desktop recording avoids the awkward notetaker-has-joined moment other tools create.

  • Wide Integration List: Syncs with Asana, Monday, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Salesforce, and HubSpot.

  • Compliance Credentials: SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant, relevant for healthcare and enterprise buyers.

  • Cheap Entry Tier: Team plan starts at $7/month billed annually, low for a meeting AI tool.

Cons

  • Free Plan Is Lifetime-Limited: Five AI notes total, not per month, so it functions as a trial rather than a real free tier.

  • Enterprise Has A User Minimum: Requires a minimum of 10 users, shutting out very small teams from the top tier.

  • Desktop-Dependent: The no-bot recording approach relies on the desktop app being installed and running, which adds friction versus a pure bot-based tool.

  • Advanced CRM Features Gated High: AI-powered CRM field updates only show up on the Enterprise tier.

What Makes It Unique

  • No Bot In The Call: Fellow's desktop app records audio and video natively on your machine, so there is no visible notetaker bot joining the meeting like most competitors require.
