Is there a meeting recorder that doesn’t send a bot into the call?
Yes — browser-based recorders capture audio locally without a visible bot participant joining the meeting. actions.xyz records in your browser tab (nothing to install, no "Notetaker has joined"), then extracts action items from the conversation.
Why people want botless recording
A bot participant changes the meeting: guests ask what it is, some companies prohibit them, and sales calls get awkward. Botless (browser or device-level) capture is invisible to other participants — which also means consent is your responsibility; know your jurisdiction’s recording laws.
The trade-offs, honestly
Bot recorders capture cleaner per-speaker audio and work when you’re not present. Browser capture depends on your tab/mic staying open. Several incumbents (Otter, Fathom, tl;dv) now offer botless modes too — the differentiator is what happens after recording: actions.xyz turns the meeting into an assigned task pipeline, not just a transcript.
