From notes to next steps.
Here's what teams say after switching from Zoom's native summary to Fellow.
With
"The AI template, the to-do list, and the full transcript are already right there after every call."
"We replaced Zoom AI org-wide for the cross-platform coverage and stronger integrations."
"Now we have one place to search and query everything we've discussed in past meetings."
"The transcription quality alone was enough to get people to switch."
With
"If the meeting wasn't in Zoom, we didn't have notes at all."
"It doesn't populate a to-do list, so someone still has to chase follow-ups."
"Notes stay locked to that one meeting. There's no searching across past calls."
"It's just notes.There's no AI overview at the end."

Why Teams are Switching from Zoom AI Notes to Fellow
Zoom's AI features are built for the conferencing tool they live in. Fellow is built to be the system of record for every meeting you have.
AI Meeting Notes
Templates and tracked action items, not just a transcript
Zoom's native Meeting Summary generates a recap after the meeting, but customers who've made the switch describe it as "just notes" — no configurable structure, and no to-do list populated automatically. Fellow lets you define AI templates that surface decisions, key topics, and action items the moment a meeting ends, and every action item is automatically assigned and tracked to close the loop instead of living inside a one-time recap email.

Enterprise & Security
Governance built in
Zoom's own guidance tells admins not to enable Meeting Summary for meetings with sensitive or confidential information, since transcripts are routed to third-party model providers to generate the recap. Fellow takes the opposite approach: Zero-Day Retention, transcript redaction, and org-wide recording controls are built in, with audit-ready deletion logs for exam readiness — the reason hedge funds, private equity firms, investment banks, venture capital firms, and other financial services teams handling MNPI choose Fellow as their AI meeting assistant.

AI Agent / Ask Fellow
One assistant across every meeting, not a separate paid layer
Zoom's newest agentic capabilities — cross-app search, follow-up scheduling, auto-generated docs — now live behind ZoomMate, a separate paid add-on on top of a paid Zoom Workplace plan. Ask Fellow is built into the core product: query any past meeting in natural language, trace a commitment back to the exact moment it was made, and sync action items straight into your CRM and task tools, with no additional agentic layer to buy or configure.

What else Zoom's notetaker misses
One record, every platform
Cross-platform capture with Zoom requires a separate tool called My Notes. Fellow gives you the same summary, action items, and search whether you're on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams.
Transcripts you can trust
Customers who've used both say Fellow's transcription and speaker attribution hold up better than Zoom's, especially with specialized terminology — less time spent guessing who said what.
A searchable meeting library
Zoom's notes stay locked to the meeting they came from. Fellow keeps every summary, transcript, and action item searchable across your whole meeting history.
