Meet the Fellow AI Note Taker πŸ‘‹

Automatic recording, transcription, and AI summaries - so you can focus on the meeting, not the notes

Written by Ashley Wood

The Fellow AI Note Taker joins your meetings and handles everything after them. It records, transcribes, and summarizes your conversations with human-level accuracy, then surfaces action items, delivers recap emails, and keeps everything searchable - all in one place.

Fellow works across Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack Huddles, and supports transcription in 93 languages. Fellow's AI is never trained on your meeting data, and recordings are only accessible to meeting attendees by default.

Your free trial includes 5 complimentary meeting recordings, transcriptions, and summaries. When you're ready to unlock unlimited recordings, book time with a Fellow meeting expert to get set up.

How It Works

Fellow syncs with your calendar and creates a linked meeting note for every event. When the Note Taker joins, it records the conversation and - once the meeting ends - automatically generates a summary, full transcript, and suggested action items. Everything lives in the associated meeting note, accessible any time through your calendar or directly in Fellow.

Inviting the Note Taker to Your Meeting

There are a few ways to bring the Note Taker into your meetings.

Enable auto-recording

The easiest option is to turn on Auto-recording so the Note Taker joins your meetings automatically without any manual action each time.

  • From Fellow, toggle on Auto-recording attached to any note (more information here)

  • From Google Calendar (with the Chrome extension), toggle it on directly from the calendar invite or the bottom of the note

Note: The recording banner will appear 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of your meeting.

Invite manually at the start of the meeting

If you'd prefer to record on a meeting-by-meeting basis, click Start recording in the bottom banner of your meeting note when you're ready.

Alternatively, you can invite the Note Taker to join via a URL or use our desktop app to automatically detect when meetings are happening!

Record directly from Google Meet

If you're using Google Meet, click the Take AI Notes button when you join the call. The Note Taker will be admitted into the meeting automatically.

Note: To record meetings, you'll need the Fellow Desktop app, browser extension, MS Teams app, or Zoom app. Meeting attendees are notified when the Note Taker joins and recording begins.

After the Meeting

Once the meeting ends, your recording, transcript, and AI summary will appear directly in the meeting note within a few minutes.

Access your summary and transcript

The AI summary appears at the top of the meeting note. To view the full recording and transcript, click AI Recap in the middle of the note section.

AI-generated action items

Within the summary, the Note Taker suggests action items based on the conversation and assigns them accordingly. Once you're done your task, just check it off for easy tracking!

Share the recap

A recap email is automatically sent to all internal meeting attendees after the meeting. To share it with others, click the Share button within the summary section and choose to send via email or publish to a Fellow channel.

When sharing via email, you can also adjust the access permissions of the link. When sharing to a channel, you can select which channel to publish to and see any channels it already appears in.

Your Recordings Library

All your recorded meetings are stored in the Meeting Recordings Library - a searchable, organized hub for every recording the Note Taker has created. You can filter by participation, attendees, company, date, and more.

Upgrade to Unlimited Recordings

The free plan includes 5 recordings. Once those are used, you won't be able to record new meetings until you upgrade. To unlock unlimited recordings, transcriptions, and summaries, book time with a Fellow meeting expert - they'll walk you through your options and get you set up.

FAQs

Who can access the recording?

By default, only internal meeting attendees can access the recording, transcript, and summary. Recordings can be shared more broadly via email or by publishing to a Fellow channel.

Where are my recordings saved?

All recordings are saved in the associated meeting note and are also accessible from the Meeting Recordings Library in Fellow's left-hand navigation.

Is my meeting data private?

Fellow never trains its AI models on your meeting data. Recordings, summaries, and transcripts are protected with enterprise-grade encryption and SOC 2–compliant infrastructure.
