Note Capture Experience - Ethical Approach? (Fathom)

So I just learned about Fathom (www.fathom.video) the highly rated AI notetaker today after speaking with a former sales colleague of mine. I’m curious how many in the community use this or other similar tools for this capability of documenting and transcribing notes? Do you use Fathom? What is your experience with it?

He mentioned now frequently seeing on his Teams, Zoom, Google Meet meetings a new participant such as “Dave’s <insert host’s name here> Assistant” as an AI Agent to transcribe and capture the notes. (Maybe it should be <insert your name>’s AI Assistant)?

I thought there were some sound ethical based actions he mentioned using in his process:

1) Emails participants in advance of the meeting seeking their permission to be recorded by the AI agent.

2) As a value add - the recipient can also indicate if they want access to the information captured at the same time … thus improving the efficiency of all participants in the meeting. Maybe the first introduction to AI by some.

Fathom uses the Freemium Model…which I personally like after spending a stint in the Open Source world with Odoo.

I saw that #Lisa Griffith – community member mentioned this about 1 year ago. I’m running fast to catch-up it seems.

What tools are similar to this that the community are finding helpful?

What are other techniques you’ve used to ethical merge in the use of AI in front of your meetings?

Where does it go from here?
