How To Use Fathom AI

What It Does

Fathom records your video calls, transcribes them with shocking accuracy, and generates summaries and action items, all automatically. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, saving you 6+ hours per week on follow-up work.

Getting Started (5 steps)

1. Sign up for free at fathom.video and connect your calendar (Google, Outlook, or iCloud)
2. Install the Fathom extension for your browser or desktop app
3. Join your next meeting. Fathom will pop in, record, and take notes automatically
4. After the call, check your email for the summary, transcript, and action items
5. Search past meetings or ask Fathom questions like "What did we decide about pricing?"

Key Features

• Instant Summaries: Get a recap of key points and action items emailed right after the call
• Ask Fathom: Search all your meetings with natural language ("What did Sarah say about the budget?")
• Auto-CRM Updates: Syncs notes and call logs to Salesforce, HubSpot, or your CRM without manual entry
• Highlight Clips: Mark important moments during the call to create shareable clips
• Team Sharing: Teammates who missed the call can catch up on the summary in 2 minutes

Pro Tips

• Use the "Highlight" button during calls to bookmark key moments (like when someone commits to a deadline)
• Set up auto-sync with your CRM so every sales call updates your pipeline without you lifting a finger
• Share meeting summaries with your team in Slack or via email so everyone stays aligned

What It's NOT Good For

• Casual personal calls (it's designed for work meetings with agendas and action items)
• In-person meetings (it only works on video call platforms)

Pricing

• Free: Unlimited meetings, transcripts, and summaries for individuals
• Paid: Team plans with advanced features like custom summaries and integrations (pricing varies)

Time to Value

Useful in 1 meeting, join your next call with Fathom on and you'll get a summary in your inbox 2 minutes later.
