Seriesly vs Fellow

The difference

Fellow is built for organizations that care about accuracy, governance, and coverage. It captures Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles into one unified library — either as a bot in the call or through a bot-free native desktop app under the same admin policies — and backs it all with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR, Zero-Day Retention, and MNPI-aware workflows for regulated finance. Ask Fellow queries across your meeting history, and decisions and action items are kept as institutional memory.

Seriesly works differently. Instead of a governed library you query, it carries a recurring meeting’s unresolved threads into the next occurrence automatically — last time’s open items are simply there when the next 1:1 opens. It ages open loops across your whole portfolio with an owner lens (Mine / Owed to me / By person), writes a delta of what changed while you were away, and drafts an auto pre-meeting brief before each call, synthesized from past meetings and your tools.

The deeper split is where your data lives. Fellow’s meeting data — bot-free or not — lives in its cloud, governed by enterprise retention and admin policy. Seriesly keeps notes in a local SQLite file on your Mac, transcribes on-device, works offline, and does not train on your content by default.

Where Fellow is strong

• ✓Enterprise governance and compliance — SOC 2 / HIPAA / GDPR, Zero-Day Retention, admin policies
• ✓Bot-free desktop capture alongside a bot, with a cross-platform unified library across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Slack
• ✓Ask Fellow across meeting history, plus decision and action-item tracking kept as institutional memory

Where Seriesly goes further

• →Series memory is automatic. A recurring meeting’s open threads are there in the next occurrence with no query — beyond an Ask Fellow query across history.
• →Delta. A written diff of what changed across every thread while you were away — Fellow has no equivalent.
• →Auto pre-meeting prep. A brief synthesized from past meetings and your tools, ~20 minutes before the call.
• →Owner-lens open loops. Aged action items across the whole portfolio, sorted by who owes whom — not a per-meeting list.
• →Local and on-device by default. Notes live in a file on your Mac and transcription runs offline — Fellow keeps meeting data in its cloud under enterprise retention.
