If you’ve ever watched a prospect’s face change when a recording bot joins the call, you know the problem. The trust drops. The energy shifts.

Someone asks, “Who’s that?” and the rep burns 30 seconds explaining instead of selling.

Every major conversation intelligence platform on the market today relies on third-party recording bots to capture Google Meet calls.

Gong, Chorus, Clari, Attention. All of them.

These bots join as visible meeting participants, trigger consent pop-ups, introduce additional subprocessors into your security stack, and routinely get blocked in regulated industries like healthcare, financial services, and government.

Today, Momentum is ending that era.

We’re launching native Google Meet recording in beta, the first conversation intelligence solution to capture meeting data from Google Meet without a recording bot, without a third-party subprocessor, and without any visible meeting participant.

Alongside it, we’re releasing Autopilot for Contacts, a new AI capability that extracts relationship intelligence from sales conversations and writes it directly to Salesforce.

How Native Google Meet Recording Works

Instead of inserting a third-party bot into your meeting, Momentum uses Google’s own recording infrastructure to capture call data.

Audio flows through the Google Meet and Momentum pipeline exclusively.

No additional vendor in your security review. No IT workarounds. No separate consent flows.

If you’ve used Zoom’s native recording through Momentum, this works the same way. The difference: no one else has delivered this for Google Meet until now.

What This Actually Solves

The recording bot problem isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a structural barrier to adopting conversation intelligence at scale. Here’s what changes:

Meetings feel natural again. No awkward introductions, no confused attendees, no reps apologizing for the robot in the room.

Security reviews get simpler. One fewer subprocessor means one fewer vendor to evaluate, monitor, and justify to your CISO.

Regulated industries can finally adopt CI. Healthcare, financial services, and government orgs that block recording bots can now deploy conversation intelligence without exception requests or workarounds.

IT stops fielding complaints. No additional permissions, no broken consent flows, no tickets about bots getting blocked. It just works.

Autopilot for Contacts: Your CRM Gets Smarter With Every Call

Sales reps hear critical details on every call. Titles, reporting structures, personality traits, hobbies, priorities, buying signals.

They remember some of it. They log almost none of it. That intelligence dies in short-term memory.

Autopilot for Contacts changes that equation.

It listens to what people actually say on calls and captures it as structured CRM data, written directly to the Salesforce Contact object. No manual entry from the rep.

No post-call admin time.

The result: a CRM that gets richer with every conversation. Teams can use this intelligence for personalized outreach, executive gifting, relationship mapping, and deal strategy. All derived from what was already being said on calls.

The Bigger Picture

When Salesforce acquired Momentum, some expected the pace of innovation to slow down.

These two launches signal the opposite. Native Google Meet recording is a genuine industry first.

Autopilot for Contacts turns every sales conversation into CRM intelligence automatically.

Together, they represent a new standard: meetings captured invisibly, understood deeply, and operationalized instantly.
