Use tool ↗About Bubbles
Bubbles is a meeting recorder and note-taker that joins video calls to capture audio, generate transcripts, and produce AI summaries with action items, then syncs the recording to a calendar-linked workspace. Beyond live meetings, it supports asynchronous video: recording a quick screen-and-camera clip, replying to a colleague's recording with another video, and leaving timestamped comments instead of scheduling a call. The company is based in San Francisco and lists SOC2 Type II certification. A free plan covers short, limited recordings for individuals, while paid per-seat plans remove the length and expiry limits and add branding controls.

Pros & cons of Bubbles
Bubbles combines a meeting note-taker with async video messaging, so a team can either have it sit in on calls for transcripts and summaries or skip the call and record a video update instead. It lists some large reference customers, but per-seat pricing adds up once recordings need to be kept indefinitely.
Pros
- Combines live meeting recording with async video replies in one product
- Free plan includes AI summaries and action items, not just raw recording
- SOC2 Type II certified
- Notable enterprise customers listed as references
Cons
- Free recordings expire after two weeks and cap at 30 minutes
- Cheapest per-seat rate needs three or more members and annual billing
- No public tier for a single user wanting unlimited length below $18/month
Best for
- Distributed teams replacing some meetings with async video
- Freelancers wanting free short recordings with AI summaries
- Teams already comparing Loom-style tools with meeting-bot features
Not for
- Single users needing recordings to persist past two weeks on the free plan
- Teams under three people wanting the cheaper per-seat Teams rate
- Anyone needing on-premise or self-hosted recording
Watch out: Recordings on the free Basic plan expire after two weeks, so anything meant to be kept long-term needs a paid plan before it disappears.
