What they are

Fathom

Fathom records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, then delivers a structured recap with action items within seconds of the call ending. It is used by individual contributors, sales reps, consultants, and customer success teams who want to stay present in conversations rather than writing notes. A bot-free capture mode launched in 2026 for Mac lets participants see no extra attendee in the call. CRM sync to HubSpot and Salesforce is available on paid tiers, and the free plan is genuinely unlimited on recordings and storage.

Grok

Grok is a large language model chatbot built by xAI that answers questions, drafts content, analyzes data, and generates images. It pulls live information from X (formerly Twitter) and the broader web, making it more current than many competitors. Creators use it for research, writing assistance, and brainstorming. The free tier is limited in usage, and the personality-forward tone can occasionally prioritize wit over precision.
