Fellow

Fellow is a meeting management platform that takes a different approach from classic meeting recording tools like Fireflies AI or Grain: Fellow focuses not on recording past conversations, but on preparing and structuring future meetings. The philosophy: better preparation leads to better meetings.

Our Fellow review in 2026 shows: Fellow is particularly strong for teams that want to standardize structured 1-on-1s, team meetings, and manager workflows. The collaborative agendas, action item tracking, and the depth of manager features make Fellow a specialist in meeting culture.

Collaborative Agendas: Prepare Meetings Better

The heart of Fellow is collaborative meeting agendas: all participants can add, comment on, and prioritize agenda items before the meeting. Everyone knows in advance what will be discussed — no "What are we actually discussing today?"

Fellow integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook: for every calendar appointment, an agenda can be created directly from Fellow that is automatically linked to the calendar entry. The agenda opens with one click directly in the meeting.

Templates for recurring meetings are created once and then automatically used for each instance: the weekly team meeting always has the same basic structure, supplemented by meeting-specific items.

Action Items and Follow-up Tracking

Fellow tracks action items across meeting boundaries: who does what by when? Tasks are automatically assigned to the responsible person and appear in their todo lists — integrated with Jira, Asana, or Linear for engineering teams.

Following up on open action items at the start of the next meeting is a frequently neglected step. Fellow automatically shows all open items from the last meeting at the beginning of the new agenda — so no tasks get lost.

Pricing and Plans 2026

The free plan is permanently free for teams up to 10 people — one of the most generous freemium offers in this category.

Fellow vs. Alternatives

Fellow vs. Fireflies AI: Fireflies AI is the transcription tool, Fellow is the meeting management tool. Both solve different problems. Many teams use both in parallel: Fellow for preparation, Fireflies for recording.

Fellow vs. Avoma: Avoma focuses on revenue teams with CRM integration and conversation intelligence. Fellow is more broadly applicable and stronger for all team types, especially engineering and management. For sales teams, Avoma is better; for all others, often Fellow.

Fellow vs. tl;dv: tl;dv is a pure recording tool with highlight focus. Fellow is a meeting management system with recording functionality. Different approaches for different needs.
