Build an AI meeting notetaker without building bot infrastructure

An AI meeting notetaker needs a bot that joins meetings, records them and returns clean transcripts. MeetStream gives you that layer as an API.

Overview

Why teams stop building meeting bots in-house

Running your own meeting clients on three platforms is a full-time job, and every hour of it is an hour away from your product.

One request returns an MP4 recording, per-participant audio and video, and a transcript
Send a meeting link, and when the call ends you get all three.
Three platforms, one call

Join flows, media formats and quirks are handled for you.

Kept current for you

Each platform changes on its own schedule, and the layer keeps pace.

Back to your product

Your engineers go back to summaries, search and the notes UI.

Most notetaker teams eventually move to a meeting bot API for exactly that reason.

What you get

Everything a notetaker needs, from one integration

Recording, transcription and meeting data all arrive from one vendor.

  • MP4 and per-participant files
    The whole meeting, plus audio and video for each person.
  • Transcripts live or after
    Speaker-labelled chunks stream to your webhook. Async transcripts arrive after the call.
  • Meeting data and chat
    Participants, join and leave times, who hosted, which platform, and the in-meeting conversation.

What comes back from every meeting

In-house transcription is an add-on when you want one vendor for the whole pipeline.

Quickstart

Ship it with one API call

One request with the meeting URL puts a bot in the call within seconds.

  • Any host plan
    Free and paid meeting plans alike. Google Meet and Teams admit it like any guest, and Zoom asks the host for recording consent.
  • Events keep you in sync
    Bot joined, recording started, meeting ended, media ready.
  • Event driven and stateless
    Your notetaker logic stays simple.

Meeting, bot, transcript, your model, then notes.

Auto-join every meeting with calendar integration

The Calendar API connects Google and Outlook calendars and schedules bots up to three months ahead.

Once a user connects a calendar, every future call is captured. Nobody pastes a link, and the bot is in the call before the first participant.

From raw transcript to notes people actually read

Transcripts arrive already segmented by speaker, so your summarisation layer starts from clean structure.

  • Correct attribution
    Feed diarized segments to the model of your choice for summaries, decisions and action items.
  • Linked to the recording
    Every item points back to its timestamp.
  • A quality lever
    When one speaker matters most, process just that stream instead of the mixed track.

Retention, re-transcription and your own storage

Re-transcription is how notetakers compare engines on real audio. Teams that want retention governed by their own policy alone write everything to your own storage.

FAQ

Got a question? We got the answer.

Common questions about notetakers. What the host has to do, which platforms are covered, and what it costs.

Does the meeting host need to approve or install anything?

The bot joins from a meeting link like any other participant, on free and paid host plans alike. Google Meet and Teams admit it like any guest, and Zoom asks the host for recording consent. Where a waiting room is on, someone in the call admits the bot, the same as any guest.

Which platforms does the notetaker API support?

Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams through the same API. Your integration code stays identical across all three, so you can launch multi-platform support on day one.

Do I get transcripts live or after the meeting?

Both. Real-time transcript chunks with speaker labels stream to your webhook during the call. A full async transcript is ready afterward. You can also re-trigger transcription on a stored recording whenever you need a fresh pass.

How much does it cost to run a notetaker on MeetStream?

Pricing is $0.35 per bot-hour, plus $0.10 per hour for MeetStream transcription, on the pricing page. Every new account starts with free credit, so you can record your first meetings before paying anything.
