What is Fathom?
Fathom is an AI notetaker for video meetings. It works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams and captures each call either with a meeting bot or, in beta on Mac, bot-free. After a call it produces a summary, a searchable transcript and AI-generated action items, which are sent to your inbox.
You can use clips and playlists to pull out key moments, and search across past conversations with Ask Fathom, a ChatGPT-style interface for your meetings. For teams, Fathom syncs notes and action items to tools such as Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion and Asana, and the Business plan adds CRM field sync, deal views and coaching scorecards.
