Description
Record, Transcribe & ChatGPT/Claude for Google Meet is a browser extension designed to automate the entire meeting documentation process for Google Meet users. It provides free, automatic recording and transcription of video calls, eliminating the need for manual note-taking. With over 500,000 users and trusted by more than one million people worldwide, this tool transforms every meeting into a searchable, actionable resource. Whether you are conducting sales calls, hiring interviews, coaching sessions, or team syncs, the extension captures every word and generates AI-powered summaries that highlight key decisions and action items.
Key Features
- Automatic Recording: The extension starts recording your Google Meet calls automatically as soon as you join, with no need for host permission. You can choose between an invisible bot that records in the background or a visible bot that joins the call, giving you full control over the recording experience.
- Accurate Transcription with Speaker Labels: Every meeting is transcribed in real time, with clear speaker identification. The transcription supports over 20 languages, making it ideal for international teams and multilingual conversations.
- AI Meeting Summaries: After each call, the AI generates a concise summary that captures the main points, decisions, and action items. You can customize the summary templates for different use cases such as sales, hiring, coaching, or project management, ensuring the output matches your specific needs.
- Multi-Meeting AI Search: Ask natural language questions across your entire meeting library. For example, you can query "What are our top three objections this quarter?" and receive an instant, synthesized answer drawn from all recorded calls, saving hours of manual review.
- Full-Text Search: Search your call library for any word, theme, or pattern. This makes it easy to find a specific discussion point or revisit a particular moment from any past meeting.
- Instant Sharing: Automatically share recordings and summaries to Slack, email, or Zapier the moment a call ends, ensuring your team stays informed without extra effort.
- Integrations: Push call context, action items, and deal updates directly into your CRM, Slack, or other business tools, keeping your workflows seamless and up-to-date.
- Clip and Timestamp: Highlight key moments during a meeting and create short clips with timestamps. You can share these clips with colleagues who missed the call or use them for training and reference.
- In-Call Note Taking: Take notes directly within the extension during the meeting and sync action points to your team instantly, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
This extension works not only with Google Meet but also with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, making it a versatile solution for organizations that use multiple video conferencing platforms. It serves as a free alternative to tools like Otter.ai, Fireflies, and Gong, offering comparable functionality without the cost. Privacy is a top priority: your data is never sold, and the full privacy policy is available at tldv.io/privacy. Setting up the extension takes less than a minute, and from then on, it quietly handles the documentation work you would otherwise spend hours on.
