AI meeting note takers, as AI assistants see them

In the week of 12 October 2026, the AI assistants we track most often recommend Fireflies.ai (56), Fathom (50) and Granola (44) for ai meeting note takers, out of 31 products we follow in this category. Scores are the share of 59 answers naming each product, across 3 assistants.

Out of 31 AI meeting note takers tracked, Fireflies.ai sits on top with an overall score of 56, named in 67 of 83 answers. Fathom trails close behind at 50, just 6 points back, and named in 59 of 83 answers. Granola rounds out the podium at 44, with Otter.ai right on its heels at 41. Scores vary quite a bit by assistant too: Fathom hits 59 with Claude but only 33 with Perplexity, while Granola swings from 58 with Claude down to 24 with Perplexity. Zoom AI Companion closes out the top five at a much lower 18.
