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.

Hailuo

Hailuo AI, built by MiniMax, generates 1080p video clips up to 10 seconds long from text prompts or still images. Its Hailuo 2.3 model (February 2026) is notable for physics simulation accuracy, character animation, and style versatility across anime, illustration, and photorealistic output. The free tier exists but is limited to trial credits and watermarked output. Credit costs at 1080p are steep relative to what plans appear to offer on paper.
