Recall.ai

Recall.ai is the essential API infrastructure for capturing everything that happens in a meeting. Think of it as a powerful toolkit that lets developers add professional-grade recording, transcription, and data extraction features to their own applications in a fraction of the time. Instead of spending months building complex integrations with platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, you can use Recall.ai's simple API to get structured data like perfect transcripts, video recordings, participant details, and chat logs in just days. It's designed for product teams at companies building conversation intelligence tools, AI assistants, sales coaching platforms, or any software that needs to understand what happens in video calls. With a recent $38M Series B funding, Recall.ai is trusted by thousands of companies to handle the heavy lifting of meeting infrastructure, so you can focus on building your unique product features. Whether you need a visible bot to join calls for consent or a stealthier desktop recording solution, Recall.ai provides the flexible, reliable building blocks.

Meeting Bot API

This feature allows you to record video conferences by having a bot join the call. It's the best choice when you need explicit recording consent from participants or when you're building interactive AI agents that need to be present in the meeting. The bot can join seamlessly on platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, handling all the complex connection logic for you so you can simply request the data you need after the call ends.

Desktop Recording SDK

For a more discreet recording experience, the Desktop Recording SDK lets users record video conferences and in-person meetings directly through a desktop application, without a bot appearing in the call. This is ideal for creating a stealthier user experience for tools like personal note-takers or coaching software where a visible bot might be intrusive or unnecessary for the workflow.

Comprehensive Data Extraction

Recall.ai's API delivers over 100 structured data points from every meeting. This goes beyond basic audio to include perfect, diarized transcripts (who said what), separate audio and video streams for each participant, screenshare content, chat messages, participant emails, and rich meeting metadata. You get a complete, organized dataset ready for your application to analyze.

Security and Compliance

Built for enterprise use, Recall.ai provides a secure foundation with key certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. This means you can build features that handle sensitive meeting data with confidence, whether it's in healthcare, legal, or financial services, without having to architect this complex security layer yourself.

Conversation Intelligence & Sales Coaching

Platforms that analyze sales calls to provide insights and coaching can use Recall.ai to automatically capture perfect transcripts and recordings. This data can then be used to score calls, highlight key moments, and give reps actionable feedback, all without the development team building direct integrations with every video conferencing platform.

AI Meeting Assistants & Scribes

Companies building AI notetakers or assistants that join meetings to provide summaries and action items can leverage the Meeting Bot API. The bot can join calls to record and transcribe in real-time, and the structured data output allows the AI to accurately attribute notes to specific speakers and identify decisions or tasks.

Internal Productivity Tools

Software companies can enhance their own platforms by adding native meeting recording features. For example, a project management tool could allow users to record sync-ups and automatically attach the transcript to a task, using the Desktop Recording SDK for a seamless, integrated user experience.

Recruitment and Interview Analysis

Hiring platforms can integrate Recall.ai to record and transcribe interviews. This allows recruiters and hiring managers to review conversations later, share them with team members, and use the text data to analyze candidate responses consistently, improving the quality and fairness of the hiring process.

What video conferencing platforms does Recall.ai support?

Recall.ai supports all major platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Slack Huddles through its unified API. This means you write code once to integrate with Recall.ai, and you instantly gain compatibility with all these services without needing to manage separate integrations for each one.

How does the Meeting Bot handle recording consent?

The Meeting Bot API is designed with consent in mind. The bot joins the meeting as a visible participant, which naturally notifies all attendees that a recording is in progress. This transparent approach helps ensure compliance with regulations and company policies regarding meeting recordings.

Is my data secure with Recall.ai?

Absolutely. Security is a top priority. Recall.ai is SOC 2 Type II certified, compliant with ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. They employ enterprise-grade security practices to protect all meeting data, giving you a secure foundation to build your application upon without the overhead of creating this infrastructure yourself.

How quickly can I integrate Recall.ai and launch a feature?

Integration is remarkably fast. Developers can often get their first meeting transcriptions and recordings flowing through a simple API call in a single day. The platform is built to be developer-friendly, with comprehensive documentation, allowing teams to launch production features in days or weeks, not the months it would take to build in-house.
