Fathom vs. Built-In Meeting Notes: AI That Makes Meetings Meaningful

Zoom’s AI Companion, Microsoft Teams Copilot, and Google Meet all offer basic transcription – while Fathom delivers accurate, action-ready insights your team can actually use.

SWITCH TO FATHOM

Meet your brilliant AI meeting copilot

Higher accuracy and richer understanding

Native tools produce broad summaries meant for general meetings. Fathom captures key moments, decisions, risks, questions, and action items with far more clarity.

Structured notes that update your system automatically

Native transcription services don’t create structured outputs or push data into your workflows automatically. Fathom maps clean, organized insights directly into tools like Salesforce and HubSpot – no editing or admin work needed.

Coaching intelligence built-in

Native tools stop at transcription. Fathom provides native coaching tools, highlighting conversational patterns, team behaviors, and improvement signals to help leaders support their teams at scale.

Ask Fathom & AI Search for deeper analysis

Built-in tools can only show you what was said in a single meeting. Fathom helps you analyze patterns across teams, accounts, projects, and conversations – giving you answers, not transcripts.

Cross-platform consistency

Whether your customer uses Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams – Fathom works everywhere. Native tools only work inside their own ecosystem.

"By far, the best tool for sales enhancement." 5/5

Customer support quality, a very good tool to get your recordings analyzed using AI and the easy way to set it up. I use every 3 times a day in my sales meetings and definetely it has increased the way we analyze our meetings. Very easy to integrate with the major players in the remote meetings industry.

"Fathom.ai is a game changer for sales leaders and their teams!" 5/5

Fathom has been transformative for my team from a productivity and data integrity perspective. The integration with Google Meet and Hubspot have made our forecast calls much more direct and accurate. As a result the communication between the sales team and leadership has improved tremendously, giving us better clarity on what's in our pipeline. I wouldn't run a sales organization without Fathom.ai ever again!
