Fellow 5.0 gives you the flexibility, privacy, and control over how you capture and leverage your meetings. It offers the flexibility of bot and botless recording, the control of custom AI recaps, and the connected intelligence of the MCP Server, all under the same secure and compliant framework.
Hey Product Hunt community! Excited to share what we have been building at Fellow.
Fellow 5.0 redefines how you capture and leverage meeting data. It’s built for teams that care about security, accuracy, flexibility, and control over how their information flows.
What’s new:
• Botless recording: capture conversations without a bot, while maintaining your organization’s governance standards
• A cleaner, faster interface that makes it easier and faster to gather meeting insights
• Custom AI note templates so every team can standardize how their meeting recaps look, from interviews to sales calls
• Connect your AI tools: now ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and others can securely reference your meeting data
• Smarter Zapier workflows so your recaps can trigger downstream automation instantly
• Richer API access with transcripts, recaps, metadata, and AI notes available for custom integrations
Congratulations on the updates! I have an idea for you: create modes for analyzing such calls based on a predefined topic. For example, if it’s a sales call, it could be analyzed from the perspective of best sales practices. If it’s a contract discussion, it could be analyzed from the perspective of best legal practices, etc. After the call, selected participants would receive a report with recommendations.
We tested Fellow across Zoom, Meet, and Teams, and the biggest win for us was the privacy model — no data training, no weird permissions, and full control over who can access what. That alone made our security team happy.
Transcriptions are accurate, summaries feel human, and the Salesforce/Slack integrations saved us a ton of manual updating.
Congrats on the launch!
Really like the clean look and feel. And even more the possible integrations with MCP and Zapier - the possibilities are unlimited here.
@aydin_mirzaee Botless meeting notes are refreshing! The MCP and Zapier integration makes this way more flexible than traditional tools. How does Fellow handle context across multiple meetings?
Are teams able to customize the AI summary format for different meeting types?
The workflow automation piece could be huge for reducing manual work.
Great product! It would be even better if it supported recording, transcription, and summarization for Discord voice channels as well. Do you happen to have any plans for this
Congrats on the launch! Opening up transcripts, metadata, and AI notes through the API gives teams so much more flexibility. Are you planning any additional automations or workflows next?
@aydin_mirzaee congrats on the launch! Looks great and love the focus on better triggering for downstream workflows. We're actually launching tomorrow with a Slack agent that automatically extracts feature requests from customer calls and lets you review and file them to Jira right from Slack. Could be an interesting integration or use case for that downstream workflow!
Bam! Congrats team Fellow, making my every day meetings so much more valuable and organized
pretty dope release. the botless recording is a nice addition to an already premium platform.
I really like the privacy and control settings of fellow. Just curious - whats the difference in functions compared to other meeting assistant build in those meeting apps like Zoom etc?
How does it recognize to Zoom meetings? Is it a desktop app and a Chrome extension?
If you’ve been watching us build Fellow over the years, you know we don’t do things halfway. But looking back at where we started and where we are today with Fellow 5.0? I’m honestly blown away.
We’ve come so far, and I am excited to show you what the team has been working on.
Big congrats on this launch! The cleaner interface alone sounds like it’ll save so much time.
What I enjoy most about it is how it respects my workflow. I don't always want a meeting bot showing up, so the botless option feels refreshing. Pairing it with Zapier helps me keep every follow-up automated while staying in control of the whole process.
I've been wanting a cleaner way to manage meeting notes and it finally feels like something that matches the way I work. Botless recording is perfect for me and the Zapier automation keeps everything organized without needing extra tools or complicated setups.
As someone who cares about privacy, the botless recording in it fits perfectly into how I run meetings. I like feeling in charge of what gets captured. The AI recaps and Zapier workflows also make follow-ups easier for me without adding extra steps.
Fantastic launch, Fellow—love how you’re making meetings more than just “another calendar slot.”
From a clarity & conversion lens: when a manager or team member opens Fellow for the first time, what’s the single belief you want them to leave with in their first 10–15 seconds? Is it: • “My meetings will finally lead to clear actions.” Or: • “Our team will spend less time recovering from meetings and more time doing meaningful work.” Because in team productivity tools, the biggest adoption barrier often isn’t missing features—it’s whether users believe the tool will change how they feel about work. Curious how you’re shaping that first emotional win.
Congrats on the 5.0 launch! 🎉 As an analyst, privacy is usually the biggest blocker for us adopting AI meeting tools. The 'botless' recording option is a huge UX win—it always feels a bit awkward having bots clutter up the participant list. Good luck today!
