Recall.ai offers a unified API that abstracts the complexity of building and scaling meeting and conversation capture across platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack Huddles. The platform supplies recordings, transcripts, and metadata in near real time (metadata available within 10 seconds after a meeting ends), enabling developers to embed conversation-aware AI features quickly. Recall.ai processes over three terabytes per second of raw video through custom pipelines and launches over eight million EC2 instances monthly to support its infrastructure. The company serves over 2,000 customers, including HubSpot, ClickUp, and Apollo.io, and processes millions of meetings monthly. Product expansion plans include Desktop Recording SDK, dialers, phone, and in-person meeting support, plus additional storage, playback, and agentic AI integrations. Recall.ai is headquartered in San Francisco and positions itself as the infrastructure layer for conversation data across sales, recruiting, healthcare, and productivity applications. Recall.ai provides infrastructure and a unified API that lets companies access raw audio and video from virtual meeting platforms including Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles and Zoom, plus platforms with no API. Customers use that data to build AI-powered meeting apps such as sales coaching, meeting notetakers and daily standup bots. The company charges per hour of audio and video processed and in less than two years has grown annual revenues from zero to several million dollars, with more than 300 enterprise customers and “millions” of end users. Recall.ai says it is SOC2, GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA compliant, stores recordings for a maximum of seven days and offers an API endpoint for immediate deletion. The startup launched in 2022 and was founded by David Gu and Amanda Zhu, who previously built a real-time transcription tool and integrations for conferencing platforms. Recall.ai currently has nine employees and plans to grow to more than 16 by year-end; the new capital will be used to expand the team and build integrations with more data sources. Recall.ai offers a unified API that accesses meeting data including real-time video and audio, participant identities, speaking times, join/leave events and screen-sharing signals to enable apps across sales, support, hiring, research and more. The API currently integrates with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Team and is being used by about 50 companies while the product remains in private beta. Recall.ai charges customers per minute of audio and video processed and is already generating revenue. The company abstracts away the engineering and infrastructure needed to capture and process meeting streams, saving teams months of integration work and large hosting footprints. Founders David Gu and Amanda Zhu built the product after working on a research tool that produced real-time transcription from meeting recordings. Plans include adding more video conferencing and telephony system integrations as the product expands.
