7 Best AI Note-Takers for Meetings with Google Meet in 2025

Google Meet has it's own internal AI recording tool as part of Google Workspace Gemini.

But... there are many more that you can use as third-party alternatives that just require sign-in from Google and can do even more than what the basic Google Workspace offers and sometimes at lot lower pricing than moving up a Google Workspace price bracket. From organizing your agenda in advance, to organizing tasks that need to be done within the team, there are more power tools for AI note-taking out there.

What makes a good AI note-taker for Google Meet?

You're likely curious how we selected these applications for the job. Here's how we recommended:

• Reliable Google Meet connection - we chose tools with a good track record of connecting with Google Meet and running calls automatically. These connect with your Google Workspace, or personal Gmail, accounts to make sure it connects with the right calls (with optionality to not add).

• Used 3rd Party AI API services - All of the tools use a 3rd party API service that helps process your transcription securely. This is typically provided by OpenAI's ChatGPT, but some optionality on the AI engine powering this. This is subject to change during the coverage of these tools.

1. Fellow

Best for Meeting Collaboration

Fellow is a popular AI note-taker and one of the more well-known options.

It takes care of the three stages of meetings; pre-meeting agenda, in-meeting transcriptions & post-meeting follow-up with task management. It connects with a range of services but most importantly in this case, Google Meet. One of the benefits is that range of features inside of Fellow to managing your meetings, sharing insights & recording the meeting to make sure you connect all you need.

Fellow Pros for Google Meet

• Easy to use and works on most services outside of Google Meet.

• Allows you to track meeting recordings and on more enterprise plans redact meeting clips.

• Comes with a good way to track tasks for follow-ups and can be shared with team members.

Best suited for?

• Those looking for a holistic plan for the meeting from agenda to task list.

• Those who work in teams of between 5-40 people as there's lots of features.

• Can be used as an individual, but better for teams.

2. Hoop

Best for Individuals

Hoop is good for busy individuals that use Google Meet a lot.

It allows you to record meetings in Google Meet & beyond, collect Slack messages and even email items as they come in. Hoop's AI will then allow you to help prioritize what's important and better help you see and collect that together. This is a good if you need a balance between a traditional to-do list app and an AI note-taker, it blurs the lines but allows you to take some control of the stream of tasks coming in and better helps you focus in on what's important.

Hoop Pros for Google Meet

• More suitable for busy professionals.

• Better for task extraction with Google Meet or others.

• Good for easy access & connecting services that you use to just manage tasks.

Best suited for?

• Those with back to back meetings.

• Those who use Slack, Google Meet & email to collect tasks.

• Those who want to get some form of AI assistant going for tasks.

3. Notta AI

Best for Multi-Lingual

Notta AI is a good all-rounder, most popular for multi-lingual call transcriptions. These are less common but Notta comes as one of the more widely accessible solutions on the market. Notta is good at evolving with more features like screen capture, upload and transcribe for external meetings, and a wide range of services in case your call is being held on other providers, even Cisco Webex.

Notta AI Pros for Google Meet

• Has bi-lingual transcription for those international calls.

• Comes with good editor for after your Google Meet meetings to make edits or changes.

Best suited for?

• Those who need a low-cost Google Meet AI note-taker.

• Notta has a free plan but it is very aggressive on ads.

4. Bluedot

Best for Bot Free

Bluedot used to be known as the "Google Meet AI Note-Taker" but now it has expanded beyond Google Meet, however, a lot still remains. Bluedot allows you to have meetings without the awkward bot join.

Whilst you'd still need to declare that it is being used to record the meeting (per normal), it has a blue dot that appears just outside of your Google Meet panel and is described there as the "invisible meeting note-taker" - this is all thanks to a Google Chrome extension that allows you to begin recording.

Bluedot Pros for Google Meet

• Subtle and easy to use without the need to explain that a bot has joined.

• Allows you to play around with it for up to 5 meetings with no need to pay (for now).

• Comes with a screen recording tool too, that has transcription baked in.

• Connects with other services like HubSpot CRM, Slack and Notion for better connectivity.

Best suited for?

• Those who need something working in the background with no bot popping up in the call.

• Those business users who wants something connected to Salesforce and Hubspot for CRM updating.

5. Fireflies

Best for All Round

Fireflies is a good all-rounder for most people, the price isn't mad and for Google Meet it just works.

Many people like it for the availability on mobile devices, connection with apps like Dialers and also AI search abilities (called AIFred) that can help you browse all your notes. Everything is all recorded and transcribed into a neat and structured document layout. One of the bonuses is that Fireflies allows unlimited transcription for Google Meet, meaning you could take your Fireflies to every meeting and get them transcribed, but the AI summaries is where the real magic makes things useful. Fireflies is valued, as a company, at $1bn - so there's a lot of hype going for the future of this app. This is well-rated as an in-person AI note-taker on Android and iOS.

Fireflies AI Pros for Google Meet

• Works well with Google Meet with unlimited transcriptions for free users.

• Works with external dialer apps for calls.

• Extensive partnership with Perplexity which could be interesting in the future.

6. Sana AI

Best for AI Agents

For those looking to the future, Sana is an interesting bet.

Many people don't want to pay for an AI note-taking app for Google Meet, but they feel they need to. Sana allows you to record and use the AI to transcribe, summarize and chat with it for up to 10 meetings via Google Meet per month which is pretty decent. Sana is focusing much more on helping businesses and individuals to use AI agents to then save them time doing errands for them set-up based on your workflows, so as a compelling offer for free users, this is a good offer with the potential to use AI agents more in the future.

Pros for Sana AI

• Focused on the future with Google Meet & AI agents working together for you.

• Great for budget conscious individuals who want to have meetings and AI search without a budget.

7. Otter AI

Best for Accurate Transcription

Whilst many of the Google Meet note-takers here claim to have 90-99% transcription quality, Otter has been in this market for the longest. They have been making live transcriptions in real-time for the better half of a decade and continues this into an AI note-taking product that you can use not just for your meetings, but for sales calls too. The sales calls platform is growing with features like real-time sentiment and updating of your documents based on the interactions. Whether this is for sales, or just everyday calls, it works very well.

Pros for Otter AI & Google Meet

• Works with up a monthly budget of minutes to use up for free transcription.

• Accurate and real-time transcription meaning for easy note-taking alongside that too.

• Good for sales teams looking for sales intelligence.
