Scribbl

Scribbl is a browser extension and AI meeting assistant designed specifically for Google Meet users. It records and transcribes calls directly through the browser without sending a virtual participant bot into the meeting. After a call concludes, it automatically generates meeting notes, action items, and topic breakdowns in a new tab.

• Automatic call transcription and video recording on Google Meet
• Bot-free operation via a Chrome extension
• AI-generated summaries, key topics, and action items
• Searchable transcripts and video playback to find key moments
• Shared team libraries and link-based sharing for internal or external users
• CRM, Slack, and Google Drive integrations on team plans
• Admin controls for managing access, permissions, and team settings

Pros

• Avoids awkward virtual meeting bots that can get blocked by hosts
• Provides a free tier that replenishes 15 meeting credits monthly
• Keeps notes private by default until explicitly shared with others
• Supports all languages available through Google Meet captions

Cons

• Currently restricted to Google Meet only, with Zoom and Teams listed as coming soon
• Video recordings on the free Lite tier expire after two months
• The Team plan requires annual billing
• Storage is capped at up to 500GBs on certain plans

Scribbl fits Google Workspace users, managers, sales professionals, project managers, and agencies looking to automate post-meeting notes and action items without manual transcription work. It is a poor fit for teams relying primarily on Zoom or Microsoft Teams until those integrations become available.

Scribbl uses a freemium model with monthly and annual billing options offering a 20% savings. The Lite tier is free and includes 15 meetings per month with unlimited meeting length and video recordings that expire after 2 months. The Pro plan costs $20 per user per month when billed monthly or $13 per user per month with annual billing, offering unlimited meetings, a 1-year video expiration, and unlimited AI chat with meetings. The Team plan costs $20 per user per month with annual billing required, and adds automated team sharing, CRM integrations, Slack and Google Drive integrations, admin controls, unified billing, and dedicated support.

Unlike many meeting assistants that require a virtual bot to join and record the call, Scribbl operates entirely through a Chrome extension on your browser. This prevents hosts from blocking the recording tool or alerting participants to an unfamiliar bot on the call. Additionally, it processes transcripts locally to private accounts by default, ensuring data is not shared or used to train external AI models.

Scribbl is worth trying for Google Meet users who want a bot-free way to capture transcripts and action items without disrupting their calls. Individuals can test the tool using the free tier, which provides 15 monthly credits. However, users who primarily use Zoom or Microsoft Teams should wait until those platforms are officially supported.
