About Circleback
Circleback records meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles, as well as in-person conversations. It writes organized notes, captures and assigns action items, and identifies each speaker by name, with transcription in over 100 languages.
Automations connect meeting output to other apps, and a search feature answers questions drawn from all your conversations. Developers can use its API, MCP server, CLI and webhooks. It is backed by Y Combinator and connects to Google Calendar to record scheduled meetings.
