About Recall.ai

Recall.ai is the definitive API infrastructure for meeting intelligence, designed to supercharge how companies build with conversation data. It provides developers with a single, powerful API to capture high-fidelity recordings, perfectly diarized transcripts, and rich metadata from all major meeting platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Forget spending months wrestling with platform-specific SDKs, OAuth complexities, and real-time data pipelines. Recall.ai abstracts away this immense technical burden, offering two core products: the Meeting Bot API for sending a bot participant to record calls (ideal for consented recording or building AI agents), and the Desktop Recording SDK for building stealthier, native desktop recording applications. Trusted by thousands of scaling companies, from ambitious startups to established enterprises, Recall.ai empowers teams to ship compliant, feature-rich meeting recording and analysis tools in days, not quarters. With a recent $38M Series B funding round, Recall.ai is solidifying its position as the essential infrastructure layer for the next generation of AI-powered productivity, sales, and collaboration software.

Features of Recall.ai

Meeting Bot API

The Meeting Bot API allows you to programmatically send a virtual bot participant into video conferences on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Slack Huddles. This bot captures everything: multi-stream video and audio, real-time and finalized transcripts, chat messages, participant identities, and screenshare content. It's the perfect solution for applications requiring explicit recording consent or for building interactive, real-time AI agents that can participate in meetings, display images, or stream audio.

Desktop Recording SDK

For a seamless, in-app recording experience without a visible bot, the Desktop Recording SDK enables you to embed meeting recording capabilities directly into your native desktop application. Users can record meetings and their own screen locally, providing a discreet and high-performance option. This SDK handles the immense complexity of capturing system audio and video across different operating systems, making it ideal for internal tools, note-taking apps, or any product where a native feel is critical.

Comprehensive Data Extraction

Recall.ai delivers over 100 structured data points from every meeting. Go beyond basic audio capture to access separate per-participant audio and video streams, 100% accurate speaker-diarized transcripts, participant email addresses, detailed meeting metadata, and chat logs. This granular, structured data feed is what allows developers to build sophisticated features like conversation analytics, automated summarization, and personalized coaching insights.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability & Security

Built to support thousands of companies, Recall.ai provides the robust, scalable infrastructure necessary for production applications. It includes critical enterprise features like built-in recording consent flows, calendar integrations for automated meeting joins, and support for breakout rooms. The platform is committed to the highest security standards, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA compliance, ensuring your data and your customers' data are always protected.

Use Cases of Recall.ai

Conversation Intelligence & Sales Enablement

Revenue and sales teams use Recall.ai to power platforms that analyze sales calls and customer meetings. By automatically capturing perfect transcripts and recordings, these tools can provide AI-driven insights on talk ratios, competitor mentions, sentiment, and coaching moments, helping reps close more deals and managers scale best practices across their entire organization.

AI Meeting Assistants & Notetakers

Productivity startups leverage the Meeting Bot API to build intelligent AI agents that join meetings as participants. These "AI scribes" can generate real-time summaries, extract action items, answer questions based on the discussion, and manage follow-up tasks, freeing attendees from note-taking and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Internal Knowledge Management

Engineering and product teams integrate the Desktop Recording SDK into their workflow to effortlessly record internal syncs, brainstorming sessions, and sprint retrospectives. These recordings, automatically transcribed and stored, become a searchable knowledge base, preserving institutional memory and enabling asynchronous collaboration for distributed teams.

Compliance & Coaching in Hiring

Recruiting and HR tech platforms use Recall.ai to record and transcribe interviews with candidate consent. This creates an objective record for fair hiring practices, facilitates collaborative debriefs among hiring committees, and provides a valuable library for training interviewers and improving the overall quality and consistency of the hiring process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What meeting platforms does Recall.ai support?

Recall.ai provides comprehensive API support for all major video conferencing platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Slack Huddles. This unified API means you only need one integration to capture data from every platform your customers use, drastically simplifying development and maintenance.

How does the Meeting Bot handle recording consent?

The Recall.ai Meeting Bot API is designed with compliance as a first-class feature. It provides built-in tools and best-practice workflows to manage recording consent. The bot can be configured to announce its presence, and developers can implement custom logic to ensure recording only begins after explicit participant approval, adhering to regional regulations and platform policies.

What is the difference between the Bot API and Desktop SDK?

The Meeting Bot API involves a virtual bot joining the call as a participant, which is ideal for user-consented recording and building interactive AI features. The Desktop Recording SDK is for building a native desktop app that records meetings directly from the user's machine without a bot in the call, offering a more integrated and stealthy user experience. The choice depends on your product's specific use case and user flow.

Is my meeting data secure with Recall.ai?

Absolutely. Security is foundational at Recall.ai. The platform is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, complies with HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA, and offers robust data encryption in transit and at rest. You maintain control over your data, with flexible options for storage and processing to meet your specific security and privacy requirements.
