Bubbles

Bubbles is an AI meeting notetaker and async video platform designed to make meetings more useful and remove the unnecessary ones. Once a calendar is connected, its Notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, GoTo Meeting, and Webex calls to record, transcribe, and deliver summaries and action items by email and inside the calendar event. For conversations that do not need a live call, users record their screen and camera, capture full-page screenshots, and collect comments or video replies on specific moments of a recording, including from guests who do not need an account. Recordings and notes live in a searchable shared workspace, and meetings can be queried directly from ChatGPT and Claude through dedicated connectors. Bubbles is SOC 2 Type II certified and based in San Francisco, and its Chrome extension holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 120 Chrome Web Store reviews across roughly 30,000 users.

Features

• AI Notetaker: Joins calendar meetings automatically to record, transcribe, and produce summaries and action items.
• Calendar-Embedded Notes: Takeaways arrive by email and appear directly inside the matching Google Calendar event.
• Async Screen and Camera Recording: Records screen, camera, and voice with full-page screenshots and annotations through the web app or Chrome extension.
• Time-Stamped Comments and Video Replies: Teammates and outside guests respond to specific moments in a recording instead of booking another call.
• Chat With Meetings: A ChatGPT app and a Claude connector let users query meeting content from their AI assistant.
• Integrations and API: Connects with Zapier, Asana, Miro, Slite, and Google Calendar, with a public API for custom workflows.

Pros

• Accurate, Fast Notes: Chrome Web Store reviewers describe the AI notes as accurate, arriving almost immediately after calls, and handling non-American accents well.
• Two Tools in One: Users value getting a meeting notetaker and a screen recorder in a single product rather than paying for both separately.
• Fewer Follow-Up Calls: Reviewers report that quick recordings and in-context comments replace many unnecessary meetings.
• Simple Chrome Extension: G2 reviewers highlight one-click screen recording and instant sharing from any browser tab.
• Usable Free Plan: Unlimited screen recordings and AI summaries are available without paying.
• Affordable Team Pricing: Pro Teams at $12 per member on annual billing undercuts many standalone notetakers.

Cons

• Restrictive Free Tier: Free recordings lock after two weeks, and meeting recordings are capped at five per week and 30 minutes each.
• Limited Control on Free: On the free plan the Notetaker joins every eligible meeting and shares recordings with all invitees, which may not suit client-facing calls.
• No Native CRM Sync: The published integrations do not include a direct CRM connection, so sales teams need Zapier or the API to log notes.
• Not Built for Sales Coaching: There is no conversation intelligence, deal tracking, or rep coaching layer comparable to sales-specific call recorders.
• Small Review Base: G2 lists only nine reviews, which limits independent comparison.
• Weekday Support Window: Support responses are targeted within 24 hours Monday to Friday only.
