Where Autessa wins
Keyword auto-record
Set each calendar to manual, every meeting, or only titles with words like Demo or Discovery, and adjust the next 24 hours by hand.
Rewrite the summary per bot
Each bot’s summary comes from a prompt you edit, so every team gets its own sections, tone and language.
Links built for customers
Share a recording with a personal link that expires, can require a one-time code and shows how often it was opened.
Customize past the template
Ask Autobot to add a CRM step, a new field or a follow-up agent after every meeting, down to the code.
Dispatch from any agent
Fathom’s MCP brings meetings to AI tools. The Autessa MCP does that and can send a bot to the next meeting too.
Getting started from Fathom
Create a bot per team, link calendars, and set each calendar's mode. Edit the summary template to match the format your team is used to.
FAQ
Questions about switching from Fathom
Is Autessa Meeting Recorder a Fathom alternative?
Yes. It records Zoom, Meet and Teams meetings with a named bot and gives you transcripts, AI summaries, recaps and secure sharing.
How do I capture a meeting no bot can join?
Upload the recording. Phone calls and in-person meetings get the same transcript, summary and sharing as a meeting the bot recorded.
How far can I customize Meeting Recorder?
As far as you like. Rewrite the summary prompt per bot, tune retention and calendars, and ask Autobot, Autessa’s AI builder, to add a step after every meeting or change any tool, screen or field. Your developers can edit the code directly.
Can AI agents use my meetings?
Yes. Through the Autessa MCP, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own agent can read your meetings, transcripts and summaries as data, and the Meeting Bot Dispatch tool lets an agent send a bot to a meeting.
Is Autessa Meeting Recorder free?
Yes. It is free with every Autessa account, for unlimited users, with no per-seat fees. You pay only for AI tasks.
