Fathom 3.0 - AI meeting notes: now bot-free, in ChatGPT & Claude + more

Hey Product Hunt 👋

We've been here before. In 2021, you made Fathom #1 Product of the Day. In 2023, Fathom 2.0. Today we're back with something that feels genuinely different and we think you'll feel it too.

Two years ago, a great AI notetaker meant one solid summary when the call ended. That was the bar. We cleared it, and kept building.

Here's what's new:

🎙️ Bot-free capture - your call, your way The #1 feedback we've heard for years: "the bot joining my call is awkward." We heard you.

• Choose meeting by meeting: bot-free transcript-only or audio capture (my personal favorite), or full video with the bot

• All three deliver the same high-quality summaries, action items, and full speaker attribution

• Mute-detection built in - we respect your privacy

• Works in Slack Huddles too, so your quick syncs are as well-documented as your scheduled calls

🤖 Claude + ChatGPT integrations Via our public API and MCP integrations, your meeting intelligence now lives inside the tools you already use.

• Connect Fathom to Claude or ChatGPT

• Turn any meeting into a draft email, QBR, brief, or plan - no copy-pasting

• Available on all plans, Free through Business

🔍 Ask Fathom - now across your entire meeting history Ask Fathom used to answer questions about one meeting at a time. Now it answers questions about all of them.

• Ask "What are customers saying about our pricing?" or "What action items came out of my meetings last week?"

• Get AI-generated answers with citations linked to the exact transcript moment

• Your meeting history is now a searchable knowledge base

🖥️ Completely redesigned desktop experience

• Live summaries appear during your meetings, not just after

• Built-in scratchpad folds your personal notes directly into your post-meeting summary

• Less tab-switching. More focus.

📱 iOS app - coming very soon Not every important conversation happens on Zoom.

• Capture in-person conversations on the go

• Review meetings and access your full history anywhere

• Pre-download on the App Store shortly

Why this matters:

"The real value of meetings isn't the notes, it's the knowledge inside them." That's been our north star since day one.

We've always had two customers: the person in the meeting who wants to be fully present, and the leader who needs visibility across their team. This update serves both in genuinely new ways.

And all of this is available for free - because it's your call data, and you should make the most of it.

Drop a question below. We'll be in the comments all day. 🚀

- Rich & the Fathom team

Really thrilled to support the launch of Fathom 3.0.

As I'm sure many of your know, I'm a big fan of @Granola but continue to rely on Fathom for capturing replays of my calls — especially as most rely on screensharing and other visual content.

I'm especially excited to see the addition of Fathom MCP, as it's something that I'll probably work into my various workflows across my different products. I'll use that to generate summaries and notes for all the founders who I help launch on Product Hunt!

Fathom, you beautiful beautiful people.

I started using Fathom two years ago and it completely transformed how I coach.

I'm a Career Coach with ADHD. Taking notes on client calls was always a struggle. Things got dropped. It pulled me out of the conversation. Fathom fixed that. I could stay fully present while my clients got notes, action items, and full call recordings they could actually revisit instead of relying on memory.

I also use AI to help clients quantify their career achievements. The transcriptions are everything for that. I can stay in the moment, stay engaged, and still capture every detail I need later.

But the gap was always timing.

I couldn't access any of that until after the call ended. So I ended up running Otter alongside Fathom just to get real-time transcription I could feed into AI mid-call. Two tools doing one job. Not ideal, but it was the only way to surface insights while the conversation was still happening.

And phone calls? In-person meetings? Those weren't part of the workflow at all.

Now all of that is solved.

Live transcription during the call. Phone and in-person conversations captured. Everything I was stitching together with workarounds, built right in.

Congrats team. This is exactly what I needed!

Question: It looks like the iPhone App is a separate paid app. Is there a way to access it as an annual Fathom Subscriber already?

Fathom is strong at turning meetings into insights, largely because it allows you to use templates to structure transcripts in ways that fit our deals (SPICED+MEDDPICC). This makes it especially useful for extracting structured data from long conversations, even across multiple accounts.

Another massively underappreciated feature imo is the ability to query AI for insights across multiple meetings and customers. That cross-meeting visibility is particularly valuable for our team and surfaces some really interesting patterns which we use to create better guides and documentation for CS and PMs.

Hey Woww,

Fathom is a must-have tool, I’ve been using it for about a year now. I remember I was the only one using it at the company, and now all EAs and even some C-levels are using it.

Why? Because it records, summarizes, and the best part, you can ask it for exactly what you need from each meeting.

At the end of the day, I do a quick audit and review things like:

• What tasks were assigned to me?

• What’s important or what did I highlight?

I also pair it with another AI tool that helps me summarize my entire day in about 10 minutes 🙂

I'm glad you have made it easier to connect to ChatGPT and Claude. I love Fathom because it's reliable, but my biggest gripe was that I kind of hated the AI. Felt like it was using older models or something, I don't know. Like, I like it for basic stuff, but for really essential knowledge work, I'd have to keep copying and pasting the transcripts into ChatGPT. Just the fact that you're making that easier is so much better. It's the biggest gripe I had using it, because everything else was so reliable. I couldn't determine what AI infrastructure you were using, I wish it was more clear, but either way, just being able to go direct into ChatGPT or Claude a lot easier via your MCP just solves my problem, and I'm a lot happier now to hear that. The API would have always worked, but it would have required me to finally do something about it. The MCP will just work out of the box, so that's exciting.

We have been using Fathom since the very beginning. We are champions for the product and mention it as much as we can. We have also tested a few other options, but always find ourselves coming back to Fathom. It has been reliable and saved our butts on soooooo many meeting details. Saving the link to the meetings in our project management platform allows us to kick off the meeting, and assign the project in no time. We love Fathom and promote it on our socials and podcast all the time. Thanks FATHOM!!

I've tried a ton of similar products—we even temporarily switched to Zoom's "free" features—but we ended up coming right back to Fathom. It is hands down the best solution on the market. By far. With their new MCP server, it’s incredibly easy to integrate meeting content directly into our Customer Success workflows.

This is a great example of using AI to drive productivity, for real.
Kudos to@richard_white and the rest of the @Fathom team!

We've tested a lot of call recording and note-taking tools over the years as a high-volume sales team, and nothing has come close to Fathom.

At this point, it's fully embedded into how our team operates. Every AE uses it on every call, and it has genuinely changed the way we run discovery, training, and follow-ups.

A few things that stand out for us:

First, the automatic summaries are incredibly accurate. After a call, we immediately get a clean breakdown of key points, action items, and next steps. This alone saves our team hours every week and keeps deals moving without anything slipping through the cracks.

Second, the ability to instantly pull clips is a game changer. Whether it's a strong customer quote, an objection, or a key moment in a discovery call, we can grab that snippet and share it internally in seconds. This has been huge for coaching, deal reviews, and aligning our team.

Third, search and transcripts are fast and reliable. We regularly go back into past calls to find specific details, confirm requirements, or prep for follow-ups. No more digging through notes or trying to remember what was said.

From a sales leadership perspective, it's also been invaluable for training. New team members ramp faster because they can watch real calls, see what “good” looks like, and learn from actual conversations instead of theory.

It also keeps our entire team aligned. Everyone has visibility into conversations, which makes collaboration between sales, solutions, and leadership much smoother.

Bottom line, this isn't just a recording tool for us. It's become a core part of our sales workflow.

We absolutely love it and highly recommend it to any team that runs a serious volume of calls and wants better visibility, better coaching, and better execution.
