Recall.ai

Product Introduction

1. Recall.ai is an API-first infrastructure platform designed to capture and process meeting data from video conferencing tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. It enables developers to programmatically access recordings, transcripts, participant metadata, and real-time media streams through scalable SDKs and APIs.
2. The core value lies in eliminating the need for businesses to build custom integrations with every video platform, reducing engineering overhead and accelerating the development of conversation intelligence tools, meeting analytics, or AI-driven applications.

Main Features

1. Meeting Bot API: Automatically joins virtual meetings to capture recordings, transcripts, and participant emails with explicit consent notifications. Supports building interactive meeting agents or real-time transcription services.
2. Desktop Recording SDK: Enables stealthier recording of virtual or in-person meetings directly from desktop applications, including screen-sharing data and separate participant audio/video streams.
3. Mobile Recording SDK: Captures system audio and video from mobile devices for phone calls or in-person meetings, with options to integrate into existing iOS/Android apps.

Problems Solved

1. Addresses the complexity of integrating with multiple video conferencing APIs by providing a unified interface. Eliminates platform-specific authentication, recording storage, and real-time data processing challenges.
2. Targets developers at SaaS companies building AI note-takers, sales enablement tools, or compliance solutions that require reliable meeting data at scale.
3. Used for generating post-meeting summaries, training AI models with conversation data, analyzing customer interactions, and ensuring regulatory compliance through recorded evidence.

Unique Advantages

1. Supports the widest range of video platforms (including Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet) with enterprise-grade reliability, processing billions of meeting minutes annually for 1,000+ customers.
2. Offers granular data like diarized transcripts (speaker-separated), real-time media streaming, and participant email extraction – features rarely available in competing APIs.
3. Provides multiple integration methods (API, SDKs) tailored to different recording scenarios while maintaining security certifications required for enterprise deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
