Bubbles is an AI-powered notetaking tool that automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings, turning discussions into clear action items. It enables asynchronous collaboration through rich commenting and video replies, helping teams reduce unnecessary meetings and stay organized.
Bubbles positions itself as an AI-powered meeting assistant that goes beyond simple transcription. It automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings, then surfaces action items and enables asynchronous follow-up through video replies and rich commenting. The tool is designed for teams that want to cut down on unnecessary meetings and keep everyone aligned without constant live calls.
The core workflow is straightforward: connect your calendar, and Bubbles' Notetaker automatically joins scheduled meetings to record and transcribe. After the meeting, you get an AI-generated summary and action items delivered to your email or calendar event. You can also record ad-hoc screen captures or video messages using the browser extension, making it easy to share quick updates or feedback asynchronously. All recordings live in a searchable workspace where team members can comment, reply, and organize content into folders.
Pricing is tiered and accessible. The free Basic plan includes 30-minute recordings and up to five meetings per week, which is enough for small teams to test the waters. Pro Teams costs $12 per user per month (billed annually) and removes all limits on recording length and meeting count, adds AI transcripts, and allows custom Notetaker settings. Pro Personal at $18 per user per month is aimed at individuals or duos and includes everything in Pro Teams plus auto team upgrade and discounted team pricing. A 14-day free trial is available for Pro Teams.
Bubbles is best suited for teams that already rely on tools like Slack, Google Calendar, and Zoom and want a lightweight layer of meeting intelligence. It's not a replacement for project management software or a CRM, but it complements them by turning meeting conversations into structured, searchable, and shareable assets. Marketing, design, and management teams will find the most value, as they often juggle multiple meetings and need clear takeaways without extra overhead.
The main limitations are the lack of an API and the relatively restrictive free tier. Power users who need deep integrations or custom workflows may need to look at alternatives like Loom or Vidyard. However, for teams that want a simple, effective way to capture meeting notes and reduce synchronous meetings, Bubbles delivers a polished experience with minimal setup friction.
