What's great
Incredibly helpful for complex technical and operational meetings. Fathom intelligently knows how to crystalize the most relevant points of a discussion and provides excellent focused notes. I can go to any of my recorded meetings and query the AI "What were the 3 points about this topic that need execution?" for example. And Fathom will find the answer and intelligently clip that part of a 2 hour meeting in seconds. These sorts of tasks would take me forever to do previously. It's the best note taking tool I've ever used hands down.
What needs improvement
The interface can get a little clunky. There needs to be a way to pop-out or isolate the audio/video into its own screen sometimes without the sidebars and transcription. Also, there needs to be a way to isolate the transcription, maybe have the option to pop it out onto another monitor along with the relevant AI and search functions. But I can work around it by constantly resizing and ctrl +/- to get it done.
vs Alternatives
It's superior to Gemini, our default note taker. Fathom records the audio, video and transcribes. The built in AI knows how to extract critical information and I can query Fathom to get immediate data from the numerous meetings I attend. And then intelligently make a clip out of a 2 hour meeting that pinpoints this information with audio and video.
