AI meeting notes
Meeting recordings, transcripts, and summaries that fit how your team meets

Compliance & Governance
Security and retention controls that scale
Fellow lets IT and admin teams configure retention independently for recordings and summaries, redact sensitive information, and set org-wide recording and sharing permissions by team or role, all backed by SOC 2 Type II certification and a policy of never training AI models on customer data. Read AI offers less configurable retention and no redaction or workspace-wide review layer. These same controls (including MNPI redaction, information barrier policies, and Zero-Day Retention) are also why Fellow is the best Read AI alternative for hedge funds, private equity, investment banking, and financial services firms operating under strict recordkeeping requirements.

AI meeting intelligence
One AI agent across your entire meeting history
Ask Fellow answers natural-language questions across every meeting you've had, drafts recaps and follow-up emails grounded in what was actually said, and automates updates to your CRM and task tools. Where Fellow goes further is oversight: a Compliance Portal gives an admin one place to search, filter, and audit every meeting in the workspace, independent of what any individual user has shared. Read AI has no equivalent workspace-wide review layer.
