Bluedot

Bluedot is a bot-free AI note taker that records your meetings from the browser, desktop or phone and turns them into transcripts, summaries and shareable notes. It is built for people who want meeting notes without a recording bot in the participant list and without handing over calendar access. Coverage is broad: video calls, Slack huddles, phone calls and in-person meetings all go into the same workspace.

What is Bluedot used for?

Most people use Bluedot to keep a reliable written record of calls they run every day, without changing how those calls are scheduled or joined. You start a recording from the extension or app, and notes appear when the meeting ends.

• Recording Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddles from a Chrome extension or desktop app
• Capturing phone calls and face-to-face meetings on iOS, Android or Apple Watch
• Generating transcripts and summaries in more than 100 languages, using custom templates on Pro
• Importing local recordings, Google Drive files or Zoom cloud recordings for transcription
• Sending notes to Slack and Notion, or anywhere else through Zapier, Make, webhooks and MCP
• Syncing meeting data to CRM and applicant tracking systems on the Business plan

Who Bluedot is best for

Bluedot fits recruiters, consultants, product managers and customer-facing teams who want notes from many kinds of conversations, not only scheduled video calls. Its billing model, which charges only for people who record, makes it practical for teams where a few people run meetings and many others read the notes. It is less suited to teams that want automatic recording of every calendar event without anyone pressing start.

Bluedot pricing

As of October 2026, Bluedot's free plan includes 5 meetings in total, plus the extension, apps and core integrations. Basic costs $14 per user per month on annual billing, or $18 monthly, and covers unlimited audio-only meetings with a 1-hour limit per recording. Pro is $20 per user per month annually, or $25 monthly, and adds unlimited video meetings, unlimited recording length, custom templates and imports from Zoom and Google Drive. Business is $32 annually, or $39 monthly, and adds CRM and ATS integrations, SSO, SCIM and custom data retention. Enterprise is a flat company-wide price available on request. If you cancel, recordings are kept for one month before permanent deletion.

Limitations to keep in mind

• Five lifetime meetings on the free plan is only enough to test it
• Basic is audio only and stops each recording at an hour, so most teams will need Pro
• Without calendar access, someone has to start each recording, which is easy to forget
• Recordings are deleted a month after cancellation, so export anything you need to keep

Bluedot vs alternatives

Granola is the best known bot-free option and suits people who type a few notes themselves and let AI fill in the rest. Tactiq is a lighter Chrome extension focused on live transcripts in Google Meet, Zoom and Teams. Otter.ai and Fathom rely on calendar-connected bots, which is better if you want every meeting captured automatically. Bluedot wins when you need bot-free recording across browser, desktop, phone and in-person settings in a single library.

Tips for getting started with Bluedot

Install both the Chrome extension and the mobile app so in-person and phone conversations end up next to your video calls. Build a custom template for your most common meeting, such as a candidate interview, so every summary uses the same headings. Connect a Slack channel for shared meetings so teammates get notes without logging in. Ask participants for consent at the start of each recording.
