Universal meeting bot API for Zoom/Meet/Teams/Webex with transcription + raw audio.
Best for aI-meeting startups that need a uniform API to put a bot in every major meeting platform. Pricing: per-bot-minute + transcription minute (see Recall.ai pricing).
What it is
Recall.ai exposes a single API that joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex meetings as a participant, records audio + video + screen, and routes audio to a transcription provider (Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Rev, Gladia, Whisper) of the developer's choice. It's the de-facto infra layer under many AI-notetaker SaaS products. Pricing is per-bot-minute plus the chosen transcription vendor's rate. Best fit: ai-meeting startups that need a uniform api to put a bot in every major meeting platform. Caveats: bot must be admitted; transcription is via partner vendors (deepgram, assemblyai etc.) — pick one at bot creation. Pricing as listed: per-bot-minute + transcription minute (see Recall.ai pricing). Feature flags from vendor docs: speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, streaming, HIPAA-eligible under BAA. Directory tags: voice-intel, meeting-bot. Last vendor-page check: 2026-05-12.
Watch out for: Bot must be admitted; transcription is via partner vendors (Deepgram, AssemblyAI etc.) — pick one at bot creation.
