Sembly AI Review 2026: Meeting Notes That Turn Into Client Deliverables

Sembly AI is a meeting assistant for Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex that transcribes calls in 45+ languages, writes notes, summaries and tasks, and — in its current Sembly 3.0 form — turns what it learns into branded client deliverables such as presentations and reports. Paid plans start with Basic at $10 per month billed annually, Pro is $20 per user/month billed annually, and the catch to read first is the credit meter: AI work draws on a monthly credit allowance that expires at month end on the lower tiers.

Bottom line: Sembly makes the most sense for consultants, agencies and client-facing teams who want meeting notes plus ready-to-send, on-brand deliverables from the same tool. Solo users get unlimited capture on the $10 Basic plan, but multi-meeting AI chat, custom templates and video capture all wait for Pro, and credits — not meetings — are what actually ration your AI usage.

What it is

Sembly AI (sembly.ai) records and transcribes meetings across Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex, syncs with your calendar, and produces notes, summaries and extracted tasks from every call. Microphone recordings and media uploads land in the same searchable library, with transcript search on every plan.

What separates it from the crowded notetaker field is the layer on top. Sembly organises work into client spaces, each carrying that client’s context and branding, and generates AI artifacts — finished deliverables such as a presentation, report, case study or sales pitch, exported as .pptx and .docx files in the client’s visual identity.

Key features

Capture and transcription in 45+ languages. Unlimited capture on paid plans across Meet, Teams, Zoom and Webex, including mixed-language meetings, calendar sync, microphone recordings and media uploads.
Notes, tasks and AI chat on every plan. Meeting notes and summaries, extracted tasks, transcript search and basic AI chat are included from the free trial up; multi-meeting AI chat, advanced search and sentiment analysis arrive on Pro.
Clients, brandings and AI artifacts. Each client gets a dedicated space with its own branding; deliverables are generated from accumulated meeting knowledge and exported as PowerPoint and Word files. Basic allows 25 clients and 50 brand packages; Pro raises that to 100 clients and 200 packages.
Automations and integrations. Zapier automations are included on all plans, while workspace automations, webhooks and MCP access start on Pro, with per-plan caps on integrations.
Compliance foundation. Sembly holds SOC 2 Type II certification and operates in line with GDPR on all plans, with model-training opt-out controls; HIPAA compliance, custom SSO and an audit log are reserved for MAX and Enterprise.

Pricing

Pricing is from Sembly’s own pricing page. The Free Trial is $0 for one user: 1 meeting hour per month, 750 monthly credits, 2 months of meeting history and up to 5 clients. Basic is $10 per month billed annually, or $17 billed monthly: one user, unlimited capture and transcription, 2,500 credits per month, 25 clients, 50 brand packages and 1 year of history. Pro is $20 per user/month billed annually, or $29 billed monthly: up to 40 users, 3,000 credits per user, multi-meeting AI chat, custom note templates, standard video capture, workspace automations, webhooks and MCP access, and 2 years of history. MAX is $30 per user/month billed annually, or $39 billed monthly, for 3 to 500 users: 3,500 credits per user, HD video, unlimited history, custom SSO, audit log, HIPAA compliance and priority support. Enterprise is custom-priced from 10 users and adds a dedicated success manager and custom agreements. Note that unused credits expire at month end on Basic and Pro.

Who it’s for

Consultants and agencies who run client calls all week and then owe those clients polished decks, reports and follow-ups — Sembly’s client spaces and branded artifacts are built for exactly that loop.
Multilingual teams that need transcription across 45+ languages, including calls that switch languages mid-meeting.
Solo practitioners who want unlimited meeting capture for $10 a month without paying per-seat team pricing.

What to watch out for

Credits ration the AI, and they expire. Meetings are unlimited on paid plans, but the AI work — notes, chat, artifacts — draws on 2,500 to 3,500 credits per user each month, and unused credits expire at month end on Basic and Pro. Heavy artifact generation can make the allowance, not the seat price, your real limit.
The free trial is a taster, not a tier. One meeting hour a month and 2 months of history will not support real use; budget for Basic from the start.
The best meeting features wait for Pro. Multi-meeting AI chat, custom templates, sentiment analysis, analytics, video capture and MCP access are all Pro-and-above — Basic is capture and notes only.
Compliance costs MAX money. HIPAA, custom SSO and the audit log require MAX at $30 per user/month billed annually, with a 3-user minimum.
