What it is
Sembly is a meeting bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex calls. It transcribes in over forty languages, produces structured meeting notes (key items, decisions, risks, action items), and indexes everything in a team-wide knowledge base that supports cross-meeting search. The Sembly Workstream feature aggregates tasks across meetings into a single backlog. Enterprise plans add SSO, audit logs, and customer-managed encryption keys. Sembly has been around since 2020 and is one of the older players in this category.
Watch out for: Bot UX is functional but less polished than Otter/Fathom; AI quality depends on the language.
