# Fathom

> Fathom is an AI meeting assistant that sits in on your video calls, records and transcribes them, and then hands back a tidy summary with the key decisions and action items already pulled out. It works across the major calling platforms and can push updates into tools like Slack and email, so the people who missed the meeting still get the gist without watching a replay. The appeal is that it removes one of the most tedious parts of modern work: taking notes while also trying to pay attention. Instead of scribbling and half-listening, you can stay in the conversation and trust that the recap, the decisions, and who agreed to do what will be waiting afterward. For small teams and non-technical users especially, it is an easy win, a tool that does one annoying job well and gets out of the way. It is also a good example of AI quietly handling the administrative overhead around a meeting rather than the meeting itself.
