A Google Meet AI note taker with no bot in the call.
Scribbl is an AI note taker for Google Meet that runs as a Chrome extension. No bot joins the call, and it works on free Gmail, as a guest, and when you're not the host. Every call comes back with AI notes, action items, a transcript and the video. Then ask Claude or ChatGPT about any of them, and hand the follow-up to Scribbl.

Free Gmail, a guest, not the host. Scribbl still takes the notes.
Google Meet's Record button and Gemini's "Take notes for me" depend on the organizer's paid Google plan and on your role in the call. Scribbl runs in your own Chrome, so neither one decides whether you get notes.

No bot in the participant list.
Scribbl sits in a small bar at the top of your own Meet tab, and nothing joins the call. Nobody has to admit anything. Tell people you're taking notes, the same as you would with any recording.
The free plan includes 10 meetings a month, with no limit on meeting length.
The notes are where Scribbl starts, not where it stops.
Writing notes from a Google Meet call is the easy part. What sets Scribbl apart is what it does with every call afterward. Here it is for a startup that interviews its customers on Google Meet each week.
Ask Claude or ChatGPT what a month of Google Meet calls said.
Connect Scribbl once, and Claude or ChatGPT can search the transcript and notes of every meeting you've recorded, or only the ones in one Smart Collection. Ask about nine interviews at once, without rewatching any of them.
Gemini in Google Meet answers questions during the call you're in. Scribbl lets you ask afterward, across all your calls, in the Claude or ChatGPT you already use. It's part of Pro.

Smart Collections sort every Google Meet call on their own.
Write one sentence about what belongs, like "calls where we interview a customer about how they use the product", and each new meeting that fits goes in. Standups and investor updates land in collections of their own. Nobody files anything.

Automations handle the follow-up from each call.
Choose what should happen when a meeting lands in a collection, and Scribbl does it for every meeting after that. By default it asks before it changes anything in another tool.

Because it can read the rest of a collection, it can do what a fixed automation can't, like noticing that today's interview raised the same problem as two earlier ones. It asks before it changes anything, by default.

Scribbl vs Gemini’s “Take notes for me” in Google Meet.
Google Meet has AI notes of its own. On some paid Google plans, Gemini writes them into a Google Doc. Here is how the two compare.
Take notes for me Scribbl Google facts from Google Meet Help ("Take notes for me" in Google Meet, Ask Gemini in Google Meet, and Premium Meet features), checked October 6, 2026. If everyone in your calls works at one company on a Google plan with Gemini, and you host most of them, "Take notes for me" may be all you need. Scribbl is for the rest: free Gmail, calls other companies host, the video, and the work after the call.
Free for 10 meetings a month.
The free plan includes Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Add Scribbl to Chrome, and your next Google Meet call comes back with notes, even on a free Gmail account.

Google Meet AI note taker FAQ
Is there an AI that can listen and take notes?
Yes. An AI note taker listens to the meeting and writes the notes for you. On Google Meet, the Scribbl Chrome extension does it with no bot in the call: when the call ends you have AI notes and action items, a transcript with speaker names, and the video. It works on a free Gmail account and in calls other companies host, and the free plan includes 10 meetings a month. Gemini's "Take notes for me" also takes notes in Meet, but only on eligible paid Google plans, and Otter's notetaker joins the call as a participant.
Is there a free AI note taker Chrome extension for Google Meet?
Yes. Scribbl's Chrome extension is a free AI note taker for Google Meet. The free plan includes Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams (Zoom and Teams through Scribbl Desktop), with 10 meetings a month and no limit on meeting length. Each call comes back with AI notes, action items, a transcript with speaker names and the video, and it works on a free Gmail account. Pro is $13 per user per month billed annually, or $20 monthly.
Does Google Meet take notes on its own?
On some paid Google plans, yes. Gemini's "Take notes for me" writes a Google Doc with the main takeaways, decisions and action items. It needs a plan such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra, and the meeting organizer's plan has to include it. Only the organizer and people in the host's organization can start it, it works in eight languages, and the notes don't include the video. Since September 29, 2026, Business Standard and Business Plus have it on by default for meetings with three or more people. Scribbl doesn't depend on any of that.
Does Scribbl work on a free Gmail account?
Yes. Free Gmail accounts don't get Google Meet's Record button, transcripts or "Take notes for me". Scribbl works the same on free Gmail as on a paid Google Workspace account: add the Chrome extension, join your call in Chrome, and the notes are ready when it ends.
Can I use it if I'm not the host?
Yes. Google's Record button only works for the host, co-hosts and people in the host's organization, and only when the host's plan includes recording. Scribbl runs in your own Chrome, so it works when you're a guest in another company's meeting, or when the host has turned on host controls. Either way, tell people you're recording.
Does a bot join my Google Meet call?
No. Nothing joins the participant list and nobody has to admit anything. Scribbl shows a small bar at the top of your own Meet tab that only you can see. Google Meet's recording notice only appears when Google's own tools are on, so tell people at the start that you're taking notes.
Can I ask Claude or ChatGPT about my Google Meet calls?
Yes, on Pro. Connect Scribbl once in Claude or ChatGPT, and either one can search the transcript and notes of every meeting you've recorded, or only the meetings in one Smart Collection. For example, you can ask what came up across a month of customer interviews.
Can Scribbl transcribe Google Meet calls?
Yes. Every Google Meet call Scribbl records comes with a transcript with speaker names and timestamps, and clicking a line jumps the video to that moment. The transcript is part of the free plan. Google's own Transcribe button is only on some paid plans, such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus, and works in eight languages.
Does Scribbl work on Zoom and Microsoft Teams too?
Yes. Google Meet uses the Scribbl Chrome extension. Zoom and Microsoft Teams use Scribbl Desktop, for Macs with Apple silicon and for Windows. It's one Scribbl account, and the free plan includes all three.
Your next Google Meet call can come back with notes.
Add Scribbl to Chrome, then join the call the way you always do. When it ends, the notes, the transcript and the video are in your Scribbl account.
Recording laws vary by region, so make sure you have the consent you need from the people in your meetings.
