Recall.ai

Recall.ai is the definitive infrastructure layer for meeting intelligence, engineered for the modern enterprise. It provides a sophisticated, unified API that captures high-fidelity recordings, real-time and asynchronous transcripts, and granular metadata from every major virtual meeting platform. Designed for engineering teams building at scale, Recall.ai elegantly abstracts away the immense complexity of navigating disparate platform APIs, managing real-time media streams, and ensuring perfect speaker diarization. Its core value proposition is profound acceleration: it transforms a multi-month, resource-intensive engineering project into an integration achievable in mere days. Companies leverage this robust infrastructure to seamlessly embed conversation intelligence directly into their products, powering the next generation of AI-powered workplace tools. Trusted by thousands of leading companies across SaaS, legal tech, healthcare, and sales tech, Recall.ai offers flexible integration paths, including a participant-aware Meeting Bot API and a stealthier Desktop Recording SDK, solidifying its position as the essential backbone for any application requiring deep meeting insights.

Meeting Bot API

This robust API enables explicit, participant-aware recording by deploying a virtual bot to join video conferences. It is the ideal solution for applications requiring clear recording consent or for building interactive AI meeting agents. The bot captures separate audio and video streams for each participant, along with rich metadata like names, emails, and chat messages, delivering a complete, structured data feed directly to your application with enterprise-grade reliability.

Desktop Recording SDK

For a seamless, local recording experience without a bot in the call, the Desktop Recording SDK provides a lightweight application that users install. This method is perfect for stealthier recording needs or capturing in-person meetings. It maintains the same high-quality output of recordings, transcripts, and metadata, offering flexibility for user-centric products where a visible bot may not be the optimal user experience.

Comprehensive Data Extraction

Recall.ai delivers over 100 distinct data points from every meeting. This includes perfect, diarized transcripts in real-time and async formats, individual participant audio/video streams, MP4 recordings, screenshare content, and detailed meeting metadata. This rich, structured data feed provides the foundational layer for building sophisticated analytics, AI summarization, and actionable insights.

Platform Agnostic Infrastructure

The platform eliminates the complexity of integrating with each video conferencing provider's unique API. Recall.ai offers a single, unified API for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and more. This agnostic approach ensures consistent data output and reliability, allowing engineering teams to build once and support every major platform their customers use.

AI-Powered Notetakers and Scribes

Product teams can rapidly embed intelligent meeting assistants into their applications. By leveraging Recall.ai's real-time transcripts and metadata, developers can build features that automatically generate summaries, extract action items, and create searchable knowledge bases, transforming passive meetings into actionable assets for sectors like healthcare, legal, and enterprise productivity.

Sales Coaching and Enablement Platforms

Recall.ai provides the critical infrastructure for conversation intelligence platforms. It enables the capture and analysis of sales calls to provide insights on talk ratios, keyword usage, and competitor mentions. This data powers coaching tools that help reps improve performance, ensure compliance, and accelerate onboarding, all built on a reliable, scalable data pipeline.

Compliance and Record-Keeping Solutions

For industries with stringent regulatory requirements, such as finance and healthcare, Recall.ai offers a secure, auditable method to record and transcribe meetings. Its explicit Meeting Bot API ensures consent is documented, while the platform's enterprise security certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA) guarantee that sensitive communication data is handled with the highest standards of compliance and security.

Enhanced Internal Tooling and Analytics

Engineering and product teams use Recall.ai to build internal tools for analyzing customer support calls, interview debriefs, or company all-hands meetings. The API allows for the creation of custom dashboards that track sentiment, participation, and key discussion topics, unlocking operational intelligence from company conversations without months of internal development.

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

The Meeting Bot API involves a virtual bot joining the video conference as a participant. This is best for scenarios where explicit recording consent is beneficial or when building interactive AI agents. The Desktop Recording SDK is a local application users install for recording; it operates without a bot in the call, offering a more seamless and stealthier experience for the end-user, ideal for user-centric productivity tools.

Which video conferencing platforms does Recall.ai support?

Recall.ai provides a unified API for all major platforms, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack Huddles. This platform-agnostic infrastructure means you build one integration to capture meeting data consistently, regardless of which service your end-users choose, eliminating the need to manage multiple, provider-specific integrations.

How does Recall.ai handle data security and compliance?

Recall.ai is built with enterprise-grade security as a cornerstone. The platform holds key certifications including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and is compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the platform offers robust controls to ensure sensitive meeting data is processed and stored according to the highest regulatory standards.

Can I get real-time data from meetings, or just recordings?

Yes, Recall.ai provides both real-time and asynchronous data streams. You can receive live transcripts, audio, and video streams as the meeting happens to power real-time AI agents or live coaching alerts. Simultaneously, the platform delivers the final, processed recording and perfect diarized transcript after the meeting concludes for comprehensive analysis and archiving.
