{"id":75617,"title":"Recall.ai — The universal API for meeting bots","tagline":"A single API for meeting bots on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack and more.","body":"Hey all!\n\nWe’re building [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai), a single API for you to get meeting data from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=75617\u0026key=user_uploads/316225/e4c4cc37-13fb-493d-900f-fb8124655197)\n\nThe data you receive includes:\n\n* Video recording\n* Audio recording\n* Transcription\n* Participant names\n* When people spoke in the meeting\n* When people joined/left the meeting\n* When people turned their cameras on/off in the meeting\n* What device someone is joining from\n* …and 10+ more pieces of meeting data.\n\n🎥 [**Click to watch our 2 min demo**](https://www.loom.com/share/60a7500d2a8c40c3b05a88dca376107e)\n\n## The Problem\n\n* Building robust meeting bots takes 1000s of engineering hours.\n* Running the infrastructure is a big operational burden, and complicates your architecture.\n* Companies like Gong have a team of 5 engineers dedicated to running this infrastructure to be stable and scalable.\n* People are building hacky workarounds like bots that screen-record Zoom in a web browser, but this breaks frequently.\n* Some meeting platforms (eg. Google Meet, Slack) don’t even have APIs.\n\n## The Solution\n\nWe provide 1 simple API that abstracts over differences between meeting platforms (even for platforms that don’t have an API). We run, monitor, and scale the complex real-time video infrastructure - so you can focus on building your core product.\n\nThis allows our customers to get into production in a week instead of a year.\n\n## Use Cases\n\nWe work with 150+ companies today that ingest meeting data, like Grain, Apollo.io, BrightHire, Fellow, and more. Some examples of products our customers are building with Recall:\n\n* Meeting productivity tools\n* Sales conversation intelligence tools\n* Interview intelligence tools\n* User research tools\n* Customer success tools\n* Financial advisor tools\n* Virtual deposition tools\n* Meeting translation tools\n* Video editing tools\n* Edtech tools\n\n## Can I try it?\n\nYes!
