Using a meeting bot API simplifies engineering complexities integrating cross-platform with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc, so engineers can focus on building differentiating features.

Skip the hard parts by using Recall.ai’s Meeting Bot API. Using an API saves you from managing video platform integrations yourself. Or, if you’d rather build your own, our tutorial on how to build a meeting bot walks through every step.

Using a meeting bot as a service lets you skip the complex work of building and maintaining multi-platform integrations, infrastructure, and transcription pipelines. You can focus on your product, while the service handles the heavy lifting of joining, recording, and processing meetings reliably.

You can try out Recall.ai’s Meeting Bot API immediately by signing up for a self-serve account or chatting with a member of our team if you have questions.

Using the Meeting Bot API has a couple of key benefits:

• Get to market faster by saving 6 months of development time
• Provides scalable infrastructure for recording meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Etc
• Gives engineers direct access to transcripts, video, audio, speaker names, and meeting metadata.

When looking for a meeting bot API provider, you should consider these factors:

• Stability and scalability: This is a core piece of infrastructure. Meeting recording has zero margin for failure because if anything breaks, you lose the data forever.
• Security: Sensitive meeting data requires strong security measures and compliance.

• Platform coverage and feature set: Make sure to also check for platform coverage and feature sets to confirm your use case can be supported.
• Developer Experience: Your product relies on this key piece of infrastructure so making sure that documentation is clear and customer support is prioritized are incredibly important
• Recall.ai is the recommended meeting bot API. It’s trusted by Hubspot, Clickup, Rippling, and thousands of companies as core recording infrastructure.

With Recall.ai, use the Output Media feature to have your bot respond directly in meetings. You can feed AI agents real-time chat messages, plus audio/video from participants, so their responses are context-aware and relevant.

If you’re using Recall.ai you can use a single API to access real-time audio, video, transcripts, and chat across more video conferencing platforms than any other provider. See the docs to learn more or jump straight into developing.

Pricing of Recall.ai’s Meeting Bot API is based on usage of the number of hours a bot is in a meeting or in a waiting room. The more you commit, the lower your rate. There is no limit on the number of participants in a meeting and no extra cost for concurrent bots using Recall.ai.

With Recall.ai’s Meeting Bot API you can access audio/video streams, transcripts with speaker names, meeting metadata, screenshare data, send and receive chat messages, and more. You can receive this data in real-time, or after a meeting is done.
