Recall.ai saves Attention 9 months of engineering work with out-of-the-box meeting recording API
Attention couldn't reliably capture real-time audio from video conferencing platforms; their Zoom RTMP prototype was locked to Zoom only, caused UX friction with intrusive pop-up notifications and mandatory app installs, and produced a single mixed audio stream that made accurate speaker diarization extremely difficult.

Stage 1 · Meeting bot auto-joins
The Recall.ai bot joins meetings and records automatically without requiring users to interact with the tool.

Outcome
Recall.ai saved Attention the equivalent of nine months of engineering work, significantly expanded their TAM by enabling Google Meet and Microsoft Teams integrations alongside Zoom, and freed up the engineering team to focus on core product features.
What failed first
Attention's Zoom RTMP streaming prototype had three critical flaws: it only worked with Zoom, it showed intrusive live-stream pop-ups that required users to install an app, and it produced a single mixed audio stream that made accurate speaker diarization extremely difficult.
