Details
Fathom records your Zoom/Meet calls and spits out summaries, action items, and highlights. Founded by Richard White (who built UserVoice). The free tier is surprisingly good: most solopreneurs won’t need to pay. #1 AI notetaker on G2.
Whereby is video calls without the download dance. Just share a link, people click, they’re in. Founded by Ingrid Ødegaard, grew organically to customers in 175 countries. Great for quick calls where you don’t want to make people install yet another app.
