How does the bot join my meeting?

Add bot@sageio.net to your Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom calendar invite — same as you'd add any colleague. The bot joins automatically when the meeting starts. No browser extensions, no desktop apps, no IT setup.

Where is my meeting data stored?

By default, encrypted on AWS in your region (US, EU, or APAC). Audio is processed in memory and discarded — only text transcripts and summaries are persisted. Enterprise customers can self-host the entire stack, in which case your data never leaves your servers.

Which languages are supported?

Live captions translate into 20+ languages, and each meeting can run several caption languages side by side (see plans for limits). Asian languages get the same first-class treatment as European ones — most tools treat them as afterthoughts.

Do I need to install anything?

Nothing. No app, no extension, no plugin. Sign up at the website, invite the bot to your calendar, run your meetings as usual. Setup takes about 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.

How is this different from Otter or Fireflies?

Otter and Fireflies are excellent at English transcription. We're built for teams whose meetings aren't all in English. Three concrete differences:

Can we self-host this?

Yes — Enterprise tier. We provide a Helm chart, deployment SOP, and a customer success engineer for the rollout. Common reasons customers self-host: data sovereignty (GDPR, regional regs), security policies that disallow third-party data processors, or simply preferring full ownership of their meeting archive.

Is Sageio secure? Is my meeting data used to train AI models?

Your meeting content is yours. We process it to deliver translation. We do not train models on it — and our AI vendors are contractually restricted from doing so. Audio is processed in memory and discarded — only text transcripts and summaries are persisted, encrypted in transit and at rest. Enterprise customers can self-host so data never leaves their servers.

Does Sageio support Zoom and Microsoft Teams?

Yes — Sageio joins Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, all three today, on every plan. Paste the meeting link or add the bot to the calendar invite and it joins on its own; you get the same real-time translated captions, transcript, and summary on all three.

How much does Sageio cost?

Professional is $49/month; Teams is $99 per seat/month — each seat covers up to 5 people (buy as many as you need). Enterprise is custom-priced. Every plan starts with a free 60-minute trial — no credit card required. Monthly plans cancel anytime; annual billing includes 2 months free.

The problem

An all-English meeting only half lands.

When everyone meets in their second language, two losses stack — the speaker gets part of the idea across, the listener catches part of that. Less than half survives. Here is the 0.6 × 0.6 problem, and the fix that is not “better English.”

Part 01 — How it works

Three steps from invite to summary.

No software to install. No bot accounts to wrangle. Just invite Sageio like any other guest, run your meeting, and the rest is automatic.

Invite the bot to your call
