About the company
Recall.ai provides a single API that connects to multiple online meeting platforms (such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams) to access real-time meeting data. Its main service helps businesses build and run meeting bots—automated tools that perform tasks during live meetings—by offering easy access to real-time, raw video and audio streams. The API can tap into streams even from platforms that don’t expose APIs, giving developers flexibility to choose how they stream or record meetings. The system is designed to scale, capable of handling thousands of containers per day to meet peak meeting loads. What sets Recall.ai apart is its focus on delivering real-time data from diverse platforms through one API, enabling developers to build customized meeting-bot and automation workflows without juggling multiple integrations. The company aims to help businesses save development time and effectively leverage live meeting data to automate tasks and workflows in a remote-work world.
