Fathom
Fathom joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call, transcribes it, and spits out a timestamped summary with action items you can paste into Slack or a doc. As of this week, it can now capture meetings without a bot joining the call at all.
The free path: Free plan includes unlimited recordings and full transcripts, capped at 5 AI-summarized calls per month.
