Circleback is an AI meeting notetaker founded in 2023 by Ali Haghani and Kevin Jacyna and backed by Y Combinator. It joins or records your meetings — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and in-person conversations — and produces a speaker-labeled transcript, a structured summary of decisions and discussion points, and a list of action items it can assign automatically. It supports over 100 languages, handles technical terms and accents well, and offers mobile and Apple Watch apps.
Its standout layer is automation. Circleback connects to 1,000+ apps and can run post-meeting workflows — update a CRM record, open a Linear issue, post a summary to Slack — plus expose MCP, an API, a CLI, and webhooks for custom pipelines. You can also query your transcripts with AI and run contextual search across your entire meeting history to find a specific moment fast.
On August 31, 2026 Circleback introduced a free tier: unlimited meeting transcription with a 30-day history limit, the mobile and Apple Watch apps, AI transcript querying, and Slack and Linear integrations. Paid plans start at $14 per month billed annually and unlock unlimited history, the full integration catalog, and complete API and MCP access, with higher tiers adding admin controls, longer retention, SSO, and HIPAA compliance. Treat these as launch figures and confirm current details on Circleback's site.
The honest framing for a creator: Circleback is a capture-and-organize tool. It turns spoken conversations into accurate, searchable text and pushes the results into your operational stack — but every output is text. It generates no video, images, carousels, captions, or posts, and it publishes nothing to a feed. Turning a transcript into finished, on-brand content is a separate job.
The most valuable content a founder or expert produces all week is usually something they said out loud, not something they wrote — a sharp answer on a sales call, a framework explained to a customer, a hot take in a team debrief. That insight normally evaporates. Circleback's real gift is that it now captures it: every meeting becomes a speaker-labeled transcript you can search. But a transcript is inert, and on the free tier it disappears after 30 days. [Kompozy](/) is the layer that turns that captured expertise into a content series before it ages out, and the pairing is a clean handoff — Circleback owns capture, Kompozy owns production and distribution.
Feed a Circleback transcript into Kompozy as a source and it mines the best moments into finished formats the notetaker can't touch: a [Persona Short](/glossary/persona-shorts) narrates your standout line on camera with a face-locked HeyGen avatar; a brand-exact [Carousel](/glossary/hyperframes) walks through the framework you explained; [Quote Graphics](/glossary/output-buckets) lift the one sentence worth remembering; and a Blog Article plus Email Newsletter go long for the audience that wants depth. Every piece is rewritten under a [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so a rambling call lands as polished, on-brand copy in your voice, then [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) schedules and publishes the set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email behind a per-post review. Because Circleback exposes webhooks and an MCP interface, the routing can even be semi-automatic: a finished meeting fires the transcript into your pipeline, and a week of content comes out the other side. Circleback makes your meetings legible; Kompozy makes them content.
Circleback is an AI meeting notetaker, founded in 2023 and backed by Y Combinator, that records virtual and in-person meetings, transcribes them with speaker labels in 100+ languages, extracts and assigns action items automatically, and syncs the results into 1,000+ apps. It also lets you query transcripts with AI and search your whole meeting history. As of August 31, 2026 it has a free tier.
No. Circleback outputs transcripts, structured notes, and action items and feeds them into your other tools. It has no video, image, or post generation and no publishing. To turn a meeting into content you pair it with a generation-and-publishing engine like Kompozy, which makes persona/avatar video, carousels, quote graphics, blogs, and newsletters and publishes them.
Circleback added a free tier on August 31, 2026 with unlimited transcription but only 30 days of history and integrations limited to Slack and Linear.

Record the meeting in Circleback, then bring the transcript into Kompozy as a source. Kompozy rewrites the best moments under your Persona Brief and generates 18 formats — a persona/avatar short, a carousel, quote graphics, a blog, and a newsletter — then schedules and publishes across eight social platforms plus blog and email, so one call becomes a week of content.
