AI notes, summaries, and action items with botless recording, zero-day retention, transcript redaction, and admin-enforced policy controls. SOC 2 Type 2 certified. HIPAA Compliant. GDPR ready. Your meeting data never trains Fellow's AI.
What makes Fellow the most secure notetaker
Admin-enforced policy controls
Fellow lets IT and compliance teams control recording permissions, recap visibility, and feature access org-wide. Hosts can pause and resume recording, with every pause automatically logged. Recordings can be shared via password-protected links.
Zero-day retention
Fellow's Zero-Day Retention deletes raw transcripts and recordings the same day they're processed. Summaries and action items are kept separately on an admin-configurable schedule.
Transcript redaction
Fellow's redaction feature permanently removes specific segments of a meeting transcript and its corresponding audio recording.
Bot and botless recording
Fellow lets admins choose between bot-based and botless recording, giving compliance teams full control over how meetings are captured.
See why organizations choose Fellow over other AI meeting assistants
Fellow vs Otter
Otter transcribes meetings and has a mobile app like Fellow. However, HIPAA compliance is a paid add-on tier. SSO requires a minimum of 100 seats. Otter's AI is trained on customer meeting data unless an organization opts out, a clause legal teams at regulated companies flag regularly. Fellow includes HIPAA support without a separate tier, has no seat floor for SSO, and has not trained its AI on customer meeting data, making it a better option for Enterprise.
Fellow vs Otter
Fellow vs Fathom
Fathom is a capable note taker for individual contributors. It does not have audit logs, zero-day retention, redaction features, or in-person recording. For organizations in financial services, legal, or healthcare that run structured security reviews before approving a tool, Fathom regularly doesn't pass. Fellow does.

Fellow vs Fireflies
True zero-day retention is not available with Fireflies. Admin controls over recording access are limited compared to what enterprise IT teams need. Fellow includes zero-day retention on all plans and gives admins direct policy controls over who records and who sees what.
Fellow vs Fireflies
Fellow vs Granola
Both Granola and Fellow offer bot-free recording. Granola is a personal AI notepad. Strong for individuals, but it has real gaps for organizations such as brittle non-Google integrations and no HIPAA compliance. Fellow is built as an org-wide AI meeting assistant with SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA certifications, Zero-Day Retention, granular access controls, and archiving integrations like Global Relay.
