Hate meetings? Sembly AI gets it.

That’s why this startup created Artificial Intelligence-powered software that attends meetings with you, and turns them into actionable insights.

Professionals spend an average of thirty-one hours a month in unproductive meetings, resulting in sixty-six billion wasted hours a year in the U.S. alone.

Traditional meeting tools fail to provide deep, contextual understanding, making it hard to distill meaningful takeaways, assign tasks, and ensure alignment across teams.

The bulk of time-consuming work actually takes place after meetings, where information is gathered across prior meetings has to be synthesized into formal deliverables such as product requirements, documents, project plans, and sales proposals. This work is labor-intensive, manual, and time-consuming.

Now, Sembly AI can handle all of that. This AI processes more than 60,000 meetings monthly, generating notes, tasks, and project deliverables. Furthermore, its proprietary technology organizes discussions into actionable insights, helping users prioritize high-value tasks.

Sembly AI can automatically transcribe and summarize meetings across forty languages. And it can identify action items and deadlines with near-human project-management accuracy.

The AI can analyze trends and decisions across multiple meetings to increase productivity, and it works with major platforms like Zoom and Teams without downloads or installations.

Sembly AI generates recurring revenue through monthly software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscriptions. These are offered to small- and medium-sized businesses. The company also offers customized deployments for large organizations that include premium features like dual-language support and private cloud hosting.

The global market for AI-driven workplace solutions is expanding, presenting Sembly AI with a fifteen-billion-dollar total addressable market (TAM).

Sembly AI has more than 10,000 users and has processed more than one million meeting minutes. As of December 2024, the company has achieved $143,000 in monthly-recurring revenue and has raised more than eight million dollars from investors.
