AI TOOL SPOTLIGHT

Fathom AI Notetaker

Fathom is an AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes calls, then lets you search and highlight moments across past meetings.

Best for

  • Teams that want a generous free option for call notes

  • Reps who hate manual follow-up notes after every meeting

How to use it

  • Connect your calendar so Fathom auto joins scheduled calls

  • Use its search to find moments across recordings by topic

  • Sync highlights and notes into tools like Salesforce or Notion

When not to use it
If participants are uncomfortable with recording bots, use Fathom mainly for internal calls or set expectations clearly.

Pro tip
At the end of each call, ask “Fathom, what are the next steps?” and use that summary as your follow-up message.

FEATURE STORY

🔌 Google Ships Managed MCP Servers Across 4 Core Services

Google unveiled managed MCP servers so agents can plug into Maps, BigQuery, Compute Engine, and GKE with a single endpoint. The rollout is a public preview and free for current enterprise customers. Teams get faster setup, IAM permissions, and Model Armor protection. Google targets GA early next year and weekly additions, with Apigee turning existing APIs into usable tools.

  • ⚙️ Paste-One Endpoint: Developers replace custom connectors with a managed URL. Set up drops from weeks to minutes inside existing tooling.

  • 🗺️ 4 Services Live: Maps, BigQuery, Compute Engine, and GKE are supported today. More coming for storage, databases, logging, monitoring, and security.

  • 🛡️ Governance Baked In: Guardrails use Cloud IAM, Model Armor, and audit logs. Apigee can convert standard APIs into MCP tools with quotas.

  • 🔗 Client-Agnostic Fit: Works with Gemini CLI and Studio, plus Claude and ChatGPT as clients. Standard MCP lets agents call Google tools reliably.

📄 AI Turns Transfer Packets Into Actionable Notes

Emergency departments face rising volume and info gaps, especially for patients transferred from skilled nursing facilities. New tools pull and summarize up-to-the-minute post-acute records inside the EHR in seconds, guiding admit vs return decisions and boosting safety with real-time risk alerts and traceable recommendations.

  • 🧾 SNF Transfers, Unblocked: Summarizes surface vitals, new diagnoses, last-24-hour treatments, and transfer reasons in seconds, cutting delays from paperwork hunts.

  • 🕒 Up-To-The-Minute Data: Built on large post-acute datasets covering North America, records are refreshed to the minute of transport for timely decisions.

  • 🧩 Works Inside EHR: Intelligence appears in existing screens, no extra logins, so teams act without context switching or sifting through thick packets.

  • 🛡️ Value And Safety Gains: Shorter dwell times, fewer unnecessary admits, high-risk flags, and behavioral alerts strengthen flow, staff safety, and continuity.
