Use tool ↗About Sembly AI
Sembly joins Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and Webex calls, transcribes them and converts the result into discrete items — summaries, action items, risks and decisions — instead of a wall of transcript text. From the Pro tier it lets you query across many meetings at once, generate documents from a set of calls and expose meeting data to agent clients over MCP. MAX and Enterprise add HIPAA handling, custom SSO, HD video capture and audit logs. The product is built by Sembly AI, Inc. of New York.

Pros & cons of Sembly AI
Worth the premium when you need meetings turned into structured commitments — tasks, risks, decisions — rather than a searchable transcript. If a transcript plus a summary paragraph is all you want, this is priced well above what you need.
Pros
- Extracts risks, decisions and tasks as separate items rather than one summary blob
- Multi-meeting chat, AI-generated documents and insights from the Pro tier upward
- Captures Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex rather than a single platform
- MCP access on Pro and MAX lets external agent clients reach the meeting data
Cons
- No standing free tier — every plan's free option is a time-limited trial
- Single-user Basic at $17/month sits above several competitors' entry price
- The differentiating features all start at Pro, so Basic is a weak comparison point
- No public developer API; the /api path resolves to a sales demo form
Best for
- PMOs and consultancies tracking commitments across dozens of calls
- Teams that need to interrogate several meetings at once, not one at a time
- Regulated environments needing HIPAA handling, custom SSO and audit logs
Not for
- Solo users who just want a cheap transcript
- Developers wanting to pipe transcripts into their own stack over REST
Watch out: Everything that justifies Sembly over a cheap notetaker — multi-meeting chat, AI documents, insights — is Pro-tier and above, so the realistic entry price is $29 per user per month, not $17.
