Vowel
FreeAI-powered video conferencing platform with built-in transcription, collaborative agendas, and searchable meeting recordings.
What is Vowel?
Vowel was an innovative AI-powered video conferencing platform that combined meetings, transcription, and collaboration tools in a single product — eliminating the need for a separate video tool and a separate notetaker. Teams could host meetings directly in Vowel with built-in live transcription, real-time collaborative agendas, talk-time tracking, action item tagging, and a searchable video archive. Despite raising $17.8 million in funding and receiving strong user reviews, Vowel stopped operations in December 2023 after a venture capital term sheet fell through. The core team was subsequently acquired by Zapier in March 2024, with Vowel's technology integrated into Zapier Central. While the service is no longer operational, it remains an influential reference point in the all-in-one meeting platform category.

How to Use Vowel
✅ Best For
- Remote-first teams that wanted a single platform for hosting, transcribing, and archiving all their video meetings without needing to pay for a separate video conferencing tool and a separate AI notetaker on top.
❌ Not For
- Any team looking for an active, maintained product, as Vowel ceased operations in December 2023 and is no longer supported. Teams should use alternatives like Fellow, Fathom, or Otter.ai for similar functionality.
