Fathom
fathom.ai
AI meeting note taker that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls with highlighted action items automatically.
Why it is useful
The free tier is genuinely useful — unlimited recordings with AI summaries at no cost. Unlike other meeting tools that require all participants to install something, Fathom works as a bot that joins your Zoom or Meet call.
