What is a meeting bot?
Bot notetakers appear on the participant list. They can unsettle sources, confuse clients, or break house rules. yapyap never joins as a guest.
Instead, it records through your microphone and the sound your computer already plays. People on the call see nothing unusual. Consent and policy stay your call.
What it means in practice
- No third-party avatar on Zoom, Meet, or Teams.
- Quieter interviews and client calls.
- You still get transcripts and write-ups afterward, on your computer.
How to spot one
- It appears in the participant list, often named after the vendor’s mascot.
- Someone has to admit it from the waiting room.
- It usually needs calendar access to know which meetings to join.
The last one is the part people miss. A bot notetaker often reads your whole calendar so it knows where to appear. yapyap never sees your calendar, because nothing has to join anything.
