The AI workspace for your meeting notes

Meetings produce some of the most important knowledge in any organisation and some of the most perishable. A decision is made, a commitment is given, a direction is set. Thirty minutes later the meeting ends and the knowledge starts to decay. Your notes are shorthand that won't make sense next month. Your colleague's notes captured different things. The person who missed the meeting gets a two-sentence summary that omits the reasoning. The action items were clear in the room and unclear an hour later when nobody can agree on exactly what was said. The meeting recording exists, technically, but nobody will watch a two-hour video to find a three-minute decision. Meeting knowledge is rich, time-sensitive, and almost always lost.

Fabric records, transcribes, and makes every meeting searchable by meaning. Your typed notes merge with the full transcript. Action items are tracked. The AI remembers what was decided, who committed to what, and why, so when someone asks "what did we agree" three weeks later, the answer is seconds away.

Record and transcribe without a meeting bot

AI voice notes record and transcribe any meeting, in person or remote, without a bot joining your call. Hit record on your laptop or phone, and the full conversation is transcribed with timestamps. No scheduling a bot. No awkward "Claude is joining this meeting" notifications. No dependence on a specific video call platform.

The transcription handles conversational audio, multiple speakers, and the way people actually talk in meetings: interruptions, tangents, and all. Audio and video transcription also processes meeting recordings you've saved from other tools.

Your typed notes and the transcript merge into a single document. You capture your own observations and key points while the transcription captures everything else. The result is a complete meeting record: what was said (the transcript) and what you thought about it (your notes), together and searchable.

Search any meeting by what was discussed

Finding a past decision shouldn't require reading through every meeting note you've ever written. AI search reads inside every transcript and note and searches by meaning. Ask "what did we decide about the Q3 pricing change" or "when did we discuss the onboarding redesign" and find the exact meeting and the exact moment, even if you can't remember when the conversation happened.

The search works across every meeting you've ever recorded, alongside your documents, emails, and other content. A decision from a meeting three months ago is as findable as one from yesterday. Over time, your meeting history becomes a searchable decision log without you maintaining one.

AI that extracts what matters

The AI assistant works from your meeting records. Ask it to summarise any meeting. Ask it to extract the action items and who's responsible for each. Ask it to find every meeting where a specific topic was discussed. Ask it to prepare you for your next meeting by pulling together what was discussed, decided, and left open from previous ones.

For recurring meetings, the assistant builds on the full history. "What's still outstanding from the last three standups" draws across three transcripts and their associated tasks. "What has the client said about timeline across our calls" synthesises from every meeting with that client. The synthesis that would take an hour of re-reading takes seconds.

Use agents to automate recurring tasks: generate a meeting summary after every recording, send a digest of the week's decisions, or flag outstanding action items across all meetings.

Action items tracked alongside the conversation

The gap between "we agreed to do this" and "someone actually does it" is where most meeting follow-through fails. The action item was clear in the room. Then it scattered: some into a task app, some into memory, some into nowhere.

Tasks and reminders created from meeting notes live alongside the transcript they came from. The commitment and the context stay connected. When a task is due, the meeting where it was discussed is one click away. When someone disputes what was agreed, the transcript has the answer.

Connected to the work around the meeting

A meeting note in a standalone app is disconnected from the project it relates to, the documents discussed, and the emails that followed. In Fabric, meeting records live alongside project documentation, client files, research, and every other content type.

Search returns results from across meetings and documents together. "What did we decide about the authentication architecture" finds the meeting transcript, the design doc, and the follow-up email. The meeting record isn't an orphan. It's a piece of the project's searchable history.

Forward pre-meeting agendas and post-meeting emails to email-to-note and they join the same space as the transcript. Annotate documents discussed during the meeting, and the feedback is pinned to the exact spot on the file. The meeting and its context are one searchable body.

Start with a template

For structured meeting formats, the template marketplace includes ready-made formats: meeting notes for general meetings and 1:1 meeting notes for manager-report conversations. The templates give you a structure to type into while the transcription captures everything else.

Smart organization automatically tags meeting records by content and participant context, so your meeting library organises itself over time.

Share meeting records with control

When someone missed the meeting, or a stakeholder needs the context, publish the meeting record with a shareable link. Add password protection for sensitive discussions. Link analytics show you who's accessed the notes.

For team collaboration, shared spaces let everyone access the same meeting records, search across them, and add their own notes. Real-time collaboration supports working on meeting notes together with live cursors and threaded comments.

How is this different from Otter or Fathom?

Dedicated meeting tools focus on transcription and summaries for individual meetings. Fabric puts meeting records alongside everything else you're working on: project documents, research, client files, and notes. The difference: searching "what did we decide about pricing" searches your meetings and your related documents together, not just the transcripts. The AI synthesises across meetings and other materials.

Can I search across meetings and other file types together?

Yes. Meeting transcripts are searchable alongside documents, PDFs, notes, and everything else. The meeting and the project it relates to are findable in the same search.

Are my meeting recordings private?

Yes. Your content is encrypted and only visible to you or your shared space members. Fabric uses AES-256 encryption and is CASA Tier 2 compliant.
