Get Insights from 1:1 Meetings
Capture data from 1:1 meetings and use it to support, evaluate, and manage employees.


Build tools to capture and get insights from 1:1 meetings
Recall.ai’s API allows HR platforms to get meeting audio, video, transcripts, and metadata from video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and more. Organizations like Rippling then use this data to generate notes, surface insights on performance and employee satisfaction, and create workflows like automatically updating task trackers based on the content of 1:1 meetings.
How does Recall.ai help companies build tools that analyze 1:1 meetings?
By using Recall.ai to get recordings and transcripts from 1:1 meetings, HR platforms can build tools that make meetings more productive and effective, help managers improve their communication, and capture crucial context for performance reviews.

Record & summarize discussions
Build a notetaker for 1:1 discussions that works across virtual meetings, in-person conversations, and phone calls. Teams can use 1:1 meeting notes to stay organized, retain meeting context, and track employee progress, satisfaction, and performance over time.

Get context for performance reviews
Use meeting content to inform performance reviews, identifying areas of feedback and strengths discussed in 1:1s. Combine the content of meetings with an employee’s progress towards goals and other performance signals to create a more objective, evidence-backed assessment.

Offer live coaching for managers
Help managers improve their team’s performance by building a tool that offers live AI feedback during the call. Prompt a manager to check in on areas an employee was struggling with, discuss their career vision, or address prior feedback, improving retention by spotting dissatisfaction and other issues early on.

Automatically assign next steps after a 1:1
Based on what’s discussed in a 1:1, your platform can automatically assign action items or update the status of existing tasks or projects. Recall.ai offers perfectly diarized transcripts, so teams can accurately attribute tasks to each participant.
All the data you need from 1:1 meetings
Get video and audio recordings, transcripts, and metadata, in real time or post-call. With Recall.ai, your application has full insight into what happens during a 1:1 meeting, from screenshares to chat messages.
Get insights from any conversation
Recall.ai can record virtual and hybrid meetings, phone calls, and in-person chats, giving your platform complete context into your users’ conversations.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Many 1:1s happen face-to-face, and the Desktop Recording SDK lets participants capture an in-person conversation directly from their Mac or Windows computer.
Yes. You can use Recall.ai's Desktop Recording SDK to create a botless recorder that captures audio, video, and diarized transcripts directly from the manager's device, with no bot joining the call. This is useful for sensitive 1:1s where participants may prefer a less intrusive recording experience.
Recall.ai supports real-time transcription via webhooks, so you can stream a 1:1's content to an LLM as it happens and surface live prompts to a manager – for example, reminding them to check in on a lagging goal or revisit prior feedback. On Zoom calls, you can also use Recall.ai to directly send chat messages with AI tips and feedback to managers.
Once you get the transcripts from your meeting, you can pass them as part of an LLM prompt and ask the AI model to generate summaries or action items according to your specifications. If you would like an example of an effective LLM prompt, check out our sample app and follow along with our guide to capturing meeting action items.
Yes. Recall.ai's Calendar API integrates with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to automatically schedule recordings for upcoming meetings. Teams can set their own logic for which meetings to capture (For example, meetings with “1:1” in the title).
Recall.ai provides the transcript and meeting data, but how that content is presented, edited, or approved is fully under your control. You can build a workflow where a manager reviews notes or summaries before they're attached to a performance review or integrated with a project management system.
Recall.ai gives you the flexibility to design the consent experience that fits your compliance needs. You control whether a bot announces itself, how participants are notified, and whether recording is automatic or manually triggered.
Reviews based on memory tend to overly emphasize recent events and subjective impressions. By grounding a review in the actual content of 1:1s, such as what feedback was given, what goals were set, and what concerns were raised, your platform can help managers build more objective, evidence-backed assessments.
By passing diarized transcripts from Recall.ai to an LLM, your platform can flag signals like unresolved frustrations, repeated concerns, or dips in engagement. Recall.ai offers the only botless recording solution that supports video as well as audio capture, allowing your team to incorporate employee body language and facial expressions into your analysis. This helps managers spot dissatisfaction early and act on it before it leads to turnover.
Yes. Because Recall.ai captures structured transcripts and metadata from recurring 1:1s, your platform can store and analyze these meetings as a connected series. That allows you to build features that surface trends like recurring blockers, shifts in sentiment, or progress on goals discussed across multiple conversations.
Recall.ai provides 100% perfectly diarized transcripts that correctly attribute speech to each person. Accurate speaker attribution is essential for HR and performance management, where it matters whether feedback came from the manager or the employee.
Recall.ai's transcription API delivers transcripts in 100+ languages, making it well-suited for global HR platforms. We offer a native transcription service and integrate with many third-party providers so teams can choose their preferred balance of cost, accuracy, and latency.
Recall.ai takes data privacy seriously and is SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliant. We offer zero data retention and let teams delete data at any point by calling the Delete Bot Media or Delete Recording endpoints. This is especially important given the sensitive nature of performance and employee data.
