Bluedot

What is Bluedot?

Bluedot is an AI note-taker that records meetings, transcribes them and writes structured notes without a bot joining the call. It captures audio through its own apps, so other participants do not see an extra attendee in the meeting list.

You install the Chrome extension, the Mac or Windows desktop app, or the iOS and Android apps. Bluedot then records Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddles, plus phone calls and in-person conversations. After the call, it produces a transcript, a summary built from a template and a list of action items. A chat assistant can answer questions across your past meetings.

The official site says more than 50,000 companies use Bluedot and shows names such as The New York Times, Etsy, Wix and MongoDB. One directory dates its launch to September 2023. Because recording happens quietly, you remain responsible for telling participants and getting consent where the law requires it.

Key Features

Bot-free capture across browser, desktop, phone and watch is Bluedot’s core feature, backed by templated notes and a chat assistant that searches every meeting you have recorded.

• Bot-free recording: Bluedot records calls through its extension or app instead of sending a visible bot into the meeting. You do not need host permission, which helps when you join calls run by clients or partners on their own accounts.
• Wide capture options: It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, phone calls and face-to-face meetings. You can also import MP4, MP3 and M4A files, so older recordings can join the same searchable library.
• Templated notes: Summaries follow templates such as sales notes, customer check-ins or question-and-answer formats. Custom templates arrive on the Pro plan, letting teams match notes to their own call structure and reporting needs.
• AI chat across meetings: A built-in assistant answers questions using your recorded meetings rather than a single transcript. You might ask what a client said about budget across three calls and get a combined answer quickly.
• Multilingual transcription: Bluedot says it transcribes and summarises in more than 100 languages, including Spanish, Hindi, Japanese and Ukrainian. International teams can therefore keep one tool for calls held in different languages.
• Searchable library: Recordings, transcripts and notes sit in one library with search, comments and highlights. Colleagues can review a key moment without watching the full call, which saves time after long meetings.

Pros

Discreet capture is the strongest argument for Bluedot, since no bot appears in the call and you can record meetings you do not host.

• No bot in the call: Meetings feel normal because no extra participant joins the attendee list. Sales staff and consultants who join client-hosted calls benefit most, as they cannot always add a bot.
• Broad platform coverage: One account covers browser, desktop, mobile, Apple Watch and uploaded audio or video files. You avoid juggling separate recorders for online calls, phone calls and in-person meetings.
• Strong integration list: Bluedot connects with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, Slack and Google Drive, plus Zapier and Make. Notes can therefore reach the systems your team already uses without copying.
• Clear security posture: The security page lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR controls, AES-256 encryption and EU data residency. It also states that customer data is never used to train AI models.
• Pay only for recorders: The pricing page says you are charged only for members who actively record. Teams where many people only read notes can keep their bill lower than seat-based rivals.

Cons

Free use ends quickly with Bluedot, because the free plan allows only five meetings in total rather than five each month.

• Tiny free allowance: Five lifetime meetings are enough to test the tool but not to rely on it. After that, accounts become view-only, so you must upgrade before building a habit.
• Basic plan limits: The Basic tier records audio only and caps each recording at one hour. Longer workshops or video reviews need Pro, which raises the price per recording member.
• Consent is on you: A hidden recorder makes disclosure your job, not the software’s. Bluedot offers a consent message feature, but you should still follow local recording laws and company policy.
• CRM sync costs more: Salesforce, HubSpot and ATS integrations sit only on the Business plan. Small sales teams wanting CRM updates must pay the top self-serve price per user.
• Accuracy varies with audio: Like other transcription tools, results drop with background noise or people talking over each other. Check names, figures and action items before sharing notes widely.

Who is Using Bluedot?

Sales, recruiting and customer success teams make up much of Bluedot’s audience, alongside founders and managers who run many calls each week.

• Sales teams: Account executives record discovery and demo calls. They push summaries into CRMs such as HubSpot or Salesforce on the Business plan.
• Recruiters: Hiring teams record interviews and send notes to Greenhouse or Workday. Structured templates help them compare candidates more fairly.
• Founders and managers: Busy leaders capture one-to-ones, board calls and planning sessions. They use the chat assistant to recall decisions later.
• Customer success staff: Account managers record check-ins and renewals. Searchable notes help colleagues pick up an account without asking for a full briefing.

Pricing

Bluedot is freemium, with a five-meeting free plan and paid tiers from $14 to $39 per user monthly (official pricing page, October 2026).

Directories lag behind: Futurepedia lists a single $18 Pro tier and an older TAAFT listing mentions ten free recordings, so the official page should guide your budget.

Disclaimer: prices are in US dollars and may change, so confirm the billing period and tax at checkout.

What Makes Bluedot Unique?

Recording without a bot and charging only for the people who record are the two choices that separate Bluedot from many meeting assistants. Tools such as Otter.ai and Fireflies usually rely on a bot joining the call and bill every seat, which can feel intrusive and cost more.

Its device range is also unusually wide. Few note-takers cover a Chrome extension, desktop apps, mobile apps, an Apple Watch app and file imports in one account. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) and webhook support also let technical teams pull meeting data into AI assistants and internal tools.

Compatibilities and Integrations

Bluedot connects to CRMs, hiring systems, workspace apps and automation tools, with API, webhook and MCP access for custom workflows.

• Meeting platforms: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddles are supported. Phone calls and in-person meetings are captured through the mobile apps.
• CRM and ATS: Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Copper and Zoho are listed, along with Greenhouse and Workday. These sit on the Business plan.
• Workspace tools: Notion, Slack, Google Drive and Google Calendar receive or feed meeting data. Zapier and Make connect it to other apps.
• Developer access: An API, webhooks and an MCP server support custom integrations. Org-wide MCP and webhooks require the Business plan.
• Devices: Apps cover Chrome, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Apple Watch. Uploads accept MP4, MP3 and M4A files.

Bluedot Tutorials

Getting started takes six steps and about ten minutes, from installing the extension to sharing your first notes.

1. Create an account at bluedothq.com and install the Chrome extension or desktop app.
2. Connect Google Calendar so Bluedot can see your upcoming meetings.
3. Tell participants you are recording and use the consent message where required.
4. Start the recording when the call begins and stop it when you finish.
5. Pick a note template, then review the summary, transcript and action items.
6. Share the notes or send them to Slack, Notion or your CRM.

How We Rated It

Bluedot scores 4.1 out of 5 because bot-free capture and wide integrations outweigh a very small free plan and paywalled CRM sync.

Summary

Bluedot suits professionals who want meeting notes without a bot sitting in the call, especially sales, recruiting and customer success teams. Its biggest weakness is the five-meeting lifetime free plan, which makes it a trial rather than a usable free tier. Because recording is discreet, you must handle consent and disclosure yourself. We rate it well for device coverage, integrations and its stated security controls. Before paying, record your five free meetings across different call types and check how well names and numbers come through.
