Fellow is a meeting-management app with AI notetaking, shared agendas, action items and recordings.
Fellow is aimed at businesses and teams that want to cut down on manual meeting note-taking, with particular emphasis on regulated industries such as financial services, legal, healthcare, and government that need governance and compliance controls alongside AI meeting features.
Fellow automatically transcribes meetings (99 languages, speaker labels), generates AI summaries and action items, and offers both bot-based and bot-free (desktop app) recording, plus a searchable meeting library and an in-app 'Ask Fellow' AI chat over past meetings. It connects to 50+ tools including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, and HubSpot.
Fellow either auto-joins scheduled video calls as a recording bot or captures audio locally through its Mac/Windows desktop app without a bot, then transcribes and summarizes the conversation with AI. Notes, transcripts, and action items sync automatically to connected calendar, CRM, and productivity tools, and users can query past meetings through the Ask Fellow chat interface.
