About Bluedot
Bluedot develops an artificial-intelligence meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarizes online and in-person conversations without sending a bot to join the call. The company was founded in 2022 by Ruslan Khalilov and Dima Eremin, two Ukraine-born engineers on their second venture together, and is headquartered in London, with operations split between the United Kingdom and Dusseldorf, Germany.
The product runs as a Chrome extension alongside desktop and mobile applications, capturing meetings across Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams as well as in-person sessions, then generating structured summaries for uses such as sales calls, customer check-ins and Q&A. Its bot-free capture approach, which records locally rather than admitting a visible participant to the call, positions it against note-takers such as Otter.ai, Fireflies and Fathom. Bluedot cites users including Salesforce, Netflix and Dept Agency.
Bluedot raised roughly 560,000 euros (about $600,000) in a 2024 angel round backed by Google for Startups and the On Deck Fellowship, and remains privately held. The company runs with a small team of fewer than two dozen employees and reports SOC 2 certification and GDPR compliance for its handling of meeting data.

Competitive Landscape
Who Bluedot competes with, and how they differ.
The category leader by user base; joins meetings via the OtterPilot bot rather than Bluedot's bot-free browser recording, and monetizes on a freemium-minutes model scaling into enterprise SSO tiers.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Bot-based recorder ("Fred") with the deepest third-party integration library (60+ apps incl. CRMs/Slack); leans harder into sales conversation-intelligence analytics than Bluedot's general-purpose note taking.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Bot-based Zoom-first notetaker that is free forever for individuals (monetizing via a paid Team Edition), competing more on price than on Bluedot's bot-free/privacy positioning.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Berlin-based recorder combining a Chrome extension with meeting bots for Zoom/Teams; focused on sales call coaching and clip playlists rather than Bluedot's cross-context (meetings, interviews, calls) notes.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Closest positioning match — also bot-free, capturing computer audio without a bot joining the call — but ships as native Mac/Windows/mobile apps rather than Bluedot's Chrome-extension-first delivery.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Chrome-extension live transcription tool for Meet/Zoom/Teams, the same bot-free delivery mechanism as Bluedot, but scoped to real-time captions and transcript export rather than full AI note generation and CRM auto-fill.
