Meeting Bot

A meeting bot is the participant an AI platform sends into a call so the recording and transcript do not depend on someone remembering to press record.

Joining as a participant is the approach that works across conferencing platforms without needing a separate integration with each one’s recording feature. The bot is admitted like anyone else, captures the audio, and hands it to transcription and diarization downstream.

Being a visible participant is the point rather than a side effect. Everyone on the call can see that something is capturing it, which is the honest position and in many jurisdictions the legally required one. The alternative — capturing from one participant’s device without announcing it — moves a consent problem onto whoever installed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It appears in the participant list like any other attendee, which is what makes notice and consent workable.

That is a retention policy question rather than a property of the bot. It is worth confirming how long audio is kept, separately from how long the transcript is.

No. Capturing on the participant’s own device is the alternative. The bot trades a visible attendee for working the same way across platforms and for everyone in the meeting.
