Superhuman acquires YC-backed notetaker Fathom as productivity platforms push for agentic work
Article image or reusable cover for TechCrunch AI
Superhuman, a productivity platform, acquires Fathom, an AI-powered meeting notetaker founded in 2020 with over 400,000 monthly active users.
Fathom has raised over $30 million and was valued at $94 million in 2024. Superhuman tested building an internal notetaker but chose to acquire Fathom instead to integrate it with its existing suite — which already includes an email client, docs app, calendar, and AI agent builder. With a meeting notetaker in place, Superhuman can now enable AI agents to automatically work with meeting data to draft emails, update entries, schedule follow-ups, and extract insights without manual prompts.
AI-powered productivity platforms aim to automate work. Typically, that automation is triggered when a user types prompts and creates workflows. It would be even better, however, if AI could proactively start work, and for that, the topics and action items discussed in meetings are key.
