• Targets sales reps, consultants and managers who run meetings on Google Meet

What is Bluedot?

Bluedot is an AI notetaker built specifically for Google Meet that works without inviting a bot into the meeting. It's a Chrome extension: you activate it before joining the meeting, and it captures audio in the background from your browser. No "Notetaker Bot has joined the meeting" message to make participants raise an eyebrow. After the meeting, Bluedot automatically generates a transcript, a structured summary and action items. It integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion and Slack. For professionals running client meetings on Google Meet, the no-bot approach is a concrete differentiator.

Strengths

Zero visible bot in the meeting

Bluedot's main pitch: nobody knows the meeting is being recorded from the interface. It changes the dynamics of client meetings. Check the legal recording requirements in your country.

Transcription and summary quality

Structured summaries (context, decisions, action items, next steps) are directly usable to send a meeting recap or feed into the CRM.

Native CRM integrations

Salesforce and HubSpot sync directly. Meeting notes attach to the right contact or deal without any copy-pasting.

Limitations

Google Meet only

Bluedot is a Chrome extension specific to Google Meet. If your team uses Zoom or Teams, Bluedot doesn't work. That exclusivity is a significant limitation.

Priced above the notetaker average

At $20/month, Bluedot is more expensive than Fireflies ($10/month) or Otter ($10/month) for similar functionality — except for the no-bot thing.

Pricing

Limited free plan (a few meetings/month). Pro plan around $20/month. Check bluedotapp.com for current pricing.

Alternatives

Bluedot = bot-free Google Meet notetaker. Alternative Fireflies.ai (fireflies.ai) = $10/month, multi-platform. Alternative Otter.ai = $10/month, Google Meet compatible. Alternative Fathom = free for individuals, Google Meet and Zoom.

Verdict

Bluedot is recommended for professionals who use Google Meet exclusively and for whom the no-bot approach is an important criterion. For multi-platform teams, Fireflies offers more flexibility.
