Meeting bot for online calls

Add invite@sally.io to a calendar invite or connect a calendar, and Sally joins Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and Webex calls. The bot's name and avatar can be changed to match your company.

Phone app for in-person meetings

The iOS and Android app records a conversation from a phone on the table, then returns a transcript and summary. Audio and video files can also be uploaded for transcription.

Transcription in 103 languages

Transcripts support a custom vocabulary for jargon and product names. Stated accuracy rises by plan: up to 90.3% on Starter, 94.1% on Pro and 98.8% on Enterprise.

Summaries by meeting type

Each summary highlights topics, decisions and tasks, and a chosen meeting type shifts the focus, for example to objections in a sales call. Pro adds custom meeting types and prompts.

Sally Chat

Ask questions about a single meeting or a folder of meetings and get answers from the transcripts. Chat across all meetings at once is an Enterprise feature.

Integrations and MCP

Results can be sent to CRMs, project tools and chat apps directly or through Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate and webhooks. An MCP server connects Sally to Claude and other assistants.

Shareable clips
