Direct answer

What is Fathom?

Fathom records and transcribes calls on Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams, delivers summaries seconds after the meeting ends, and syncs notes to CRMs.

Fathom is known for a strong free tier for individuals and for summaries that arrive almost immediately after a call. Team editions add shared libraries, CRM sync, and coaching features. It supports multiple summary templates, highlights, and clip sharing, and it records with participant notice.
