Recall.ai Product Information

Recall.ai is the universal API for meeting bots, providing a single API to integrate meeting-bot capabilities across major platforms (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, GoTo Meeting, and more). It enables developers to build, deploy, and operate bots that can schedule, manage, transcribe, and interact with meetings, regardless of individual platform APIs or host status.


Overview

Recall.ai offers a unified API that works across all major conferencing platforms, even when there is no official API or when users are not the host. It focuses on extracting and delivering conversation data (transcripts, speakers, metadata) and enabling real-time bot control with minimal code.

How it works

  • Create a bot with a single API call using a meeting URL; Recall.ai handles the infrastructure to schedule, manage, and run thousands of concurrent VMs.
  • Retrieve real-time transcripts with speaker names and other metadata via API or webhook.
  • Access real-time audio/video streams per participant over WebSocket with low latency.
  • Obtain meeting metadata (title, participants, join times, speaking events, screenshares, etc.) via API or webhook.
  • Works across platforms and plans; no API is required to operate in many scenarios, reducing integration effort.

Getting started

  1. Create a bot with a single line of code using a meeting URL (example: POST https://api.recall.ai/api/v1/bot with {"url": "zoom.us/j/XXXX"}).
  2. Retrieve real-time transcripts and speaker labels as the meeting progresses.
  3. Access meeting streams and metadata for your application features (CRM updates, note-taking, analytics, etc.).

Use cases

  • Recording and transcription for sales calls, interviews, and customer interactions.
  • Real-time meeting analytics and speaker diarization for productivity tools.
  • AI copilots and automation in enterprise meeting workflows.
  • Building internal tools that rely on reliable meeting data across platforms.

Security & Compliance

  • Built for enterprise scale with a focus on security and reliability.
  • SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA compliant; security portal available for details.
