Rewatch AI alternative: what to use now that Rewatch lives in Loom
Rewatch was bought by Atlassian and moved into Loom. Here is where to go, split by whether you need recordings or alerts.
By ClaudeGPT Si Newsroom, Editorial team3 min read
The right Rewatch AI alternative depends on what you used Rewatch for. If you want to keep up with what changes on the web without sitting through more calls, AyeWatch is the pick; if you need a bot that records and transcribes meetings, Loom took over Rewatch's job, and Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Grain and tl;dv do it too.
Why people are looking for a Rewatch alternative
Rewatch was an AI meeting tool. It recorded virtual meetings, wrote notes and recaps, and pulled out action items. Atlassian announced in August 2024 that it had bought Rewatch to build its features into Loom, and Rewatch said its own platform would wind down over the following 90 days. Customer videos were moved into Loom. When we checked in October 2026, rewatch.com did not load at all.
So anyone still searching for Rewatch has to choose a new home, and the choice comes down to one question: do you want to record conversations, or do you want to know when something happens?

1. AyeWatch, for staying informed without the call
A lot of meetings exist to pass along updates: a competitor changed its pricing, a supplier posted a notice, someone mentioned your product on Reddit. AyeWatch handles that kind of update directly. You describe a topic in plain English, paste a URL, or pick a social platform such as X, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok. When something matching your rule happens, you get an alert with a short summary of what changed and the sources behind it.
Alerts arrive as push and in-app notifications on every plan, on the web, iOS and Android. Paid plans add email, Slack, Discord, webhooks, a REST API and MCP support. There is a Free Preview, and paid plans start at $9 a month.
To be clear about the trade-off: AyeWatch does not record, transcribe or store meetings. If a recording is the thing you need, use one of the tools below.
2. Loom, where Rewatch went
Loom's Meeting Recording records, summarizes and shares Zoom, Google Meet and Teams meetings. Atlassian's own FAQ says it brings over key Rewatch features but will not have feature parity with Rewatch. Recording is on all Loom plans; AI recaps need Business + AI or Enterprise.
3. Otter.ai
Otter transcribes live and writes automated summaries. Its free Basic plan is a low-risk place to start.
4. Fireflies.ai
Fireflies records Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and other meeting platforms. App and CRM integrations sit on its premium tiers.
5. Grain and tl;dv
Grain is free for individuals, and its free viewer seats can read shared meeting notes but cannot record. tl;dv has a free plan and prices its paid plans in euros.
How to choose
Start by listing what you actually opened Rewatch for in the last month. If most of it was catching up on updates you could have read, set up a few monitors in AyeWatch and cancel the standing meeting. If it was searching old recordings and transcripts, move to Loom or another recorder. Many teams end up using one of each.
