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.
Krisp
Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.
