Circleback is an AI notetaker that records and transcribes meetings, then writes structured notes and action items from them. It works with online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, and GoTo, and with in-person meetings recorded through its mobile and desktop apps. The company says it is backed by Y Combinator.
Beyond notes, the product acts as a searchable record of conversations. Users can ask questions across past meetings, run automations that send updates to CRMs and issue trackers, and connect AI apps such as ChatGPT and Claude. The company's own tagline describes it as an AI notetaker, automations tool, and company brain.
Circleback connects to Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to detect meetings and join them automatically. Users can have a bot join the call, or use the desktop app for macOS and Windows to record without a bot. The desktop app records video by default, and content shown on screen, such as slides, dashboards, and docs, makes it into the notes.
After a meeting, Circleback transcribes the audio, identifies each speaker by name, and generates notes and action items. It detects the predominantly spoken language and transcribes in it. AI-written outcomes default to the same language, though a setting lets users pick another. Past audio or video meetings can also be imported. The company states it does not use customer data to train models.
Notes and action items are generated automatically, with action items captured, assigned, and organized after each meeting. Transcripts label speakers, and transcription supports more than 100 languages. Ask Circleback answers questions drawn from every conversation, and it is also available in Slack and on mobile.
Automations send meeting outcomes to connected apps, such as updating HubSpot or Salesforce records, creating Linear issues, or writing to Notion. Custom AI insights extract specific information from meetings. API, MCP, and CLI access lets developers and AI agents read meeting data. Meetings can also be shared, tagged automatically, commented on, and turned into clips.
