What is Attendee?

Attendee is an open‑source, universal Meeting Bot API that can join Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls, capture per‑participant audio, and route it to a transcription provider in real time. By connecting Gladia STT, you get accurate, multilingual transcription with perfect speaker diarization for your meeting recordings without building any of the bot or RTC plumbing yourself.
Looking for API details and options? See the Attendee docs: docs.attendee.dev and the Gladia docs docs.gladia.io. Attendee is open source on GitHub: attendee-labs/attendee.

​
Benefits of integration

  • Single API for multiple platforms: Join and transcribe meetings from Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams through one consistent API
  • Open source: Self‑host Attendee or use the hosted version at app.attendee.dev
  • Per‑participant audio: Third‑party transcription uses separate audio streams for perfect speaker diarization on Zoom and Google Meet
  • Multilingual: Gladia supports automatic language detection and code switching for speakers who change languages mid‑sentence
  • Real‑time webhooks: Receive transcript.update events as utterances are produced

​
What you can build

  • Meeting assistants that take notes, summaries, and action items
  • Live captions for meetings, webinars, and trainings
  • Contact‑center analytics and QA from customer calls
  • LLM agents that join calls and understand participants in real time
