How it works

Four steps from conversation to filled CRM record.

01

Open the Frontdesk mobile app

iOS and Android. Same login as your dashboard. The "Capture" tab is the only screen you need for meetings.

02

Disclose + hit record

The app surfaces the right consent language for your location. Hit record, slip the phone away, be present.

03

AI transcribes + extracts

When you stop, the recording uploads (or queues if offline). Frontdesk transcribes it, identifies each speaker, and pulls out every contact detail and intent signal automatically.

04

CRM populates, you keep moving

Lead created or updated. Contact info, intent, and your custom fields filled automatically. Full transcript and meeting summary attached to their timeline.

Capabilities

Capture conversations without thinking about it.

One-tap recording

Open the Frontdesk app, hit record, slip your phone in your pocket. Stop when the meeting ends.

Multi-speaker transcription

Automatically labels what each person said. Useful when walking a couple through a unit or running a 3-person sales meeting.

Contact + intent extraction

AI pulls names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, dates, dollar amounts, and intent signals out of the conversation automatically.

Smart variables, your fields

Custom intake fields, "budget", "move-in date", "follow-up needed", "policy interest". Fill in based on what was said, no copy-paste from notes.

Push to your CRM

New lead? Frontdesk creates it. Existing contact? Updates the record with a transcript and meeting summary attached to their timeline.

Works offline

Recording works fully offline. Once you reconnect, files upload and transcripts are generated automatically.

Use cases

Where face-to-face conversations live.

Property tours

Leasing agents and real-estate brokers walk prospects through units, every conversation auto-logs to your PMS with budget, move-in date, and unit feedback.

In-person retail consults

Boutique apparel, jewelry, furniture, electronics. Capture sizing preferences, repeat-purchase intent, and follow-up needs from the floor.

Outside sales meetings

Wholesale buyers, B2B reps, distributor meetings. The CRM is updated before you leave the parking lot, not on the plane home.

Healthcare intake

In-clinic intake conversations capture insurance carrier, referral source, presenting concern. HIPAA-compliant with signed BAA for therapy and behavioral health practices.

Core features

Everything you need to turn meetings into data.

Mobile Recording

Open the Frontdesk mobile app and tap Record to capture any in-person conversation. A site visit, a tradeshow meeting, a client walkthrough.

Every recorded meeting is transcribed within minutes. The full transcript is saved alongside the contact in your CRM.

AI Meeting Summary

The AI generates a structured summary of the meeting. Key topics, action items, next steps, so nothing is lost.

CRM Contact Creation

After the meeting, the AI creates or updates the contact record with the meeting details, transcript, and outcome.

Offline Mode

Recording works fully offline. Once you reconnect, files upload and transcripts are generated automatically.

Speaker Identification

The AI distinguishes between speakers in the transcript so you can tell who said what.

Meeting Tags

Tag meetings by type. Discovery call, site visit, demo, check-in, for easy search and filtering later.

Action Item Extraction

The AI pulls out action items and assigns them as tasks in your CRM so nothing falls through the cracks.

Team Sync

Meetings recorded by any team member are synced to the shared CRM so the whole team stays informed.

Audio and Video Support

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need both parties to consent to recording?
Consent rules vary by state and country. The app surfaces the appropriate disclosure language for your location at the top of every recording session. Two-party consent states (California, Florida, Pennsylvania, etc.) get explicit prompts; one-party states get a lighter reminder. You're ultimately responsible for compliance. We make it as easy as possible to do it right.
What about HIPAA for therapy practices?
Frontdesk signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Audio is encrypted on-device, in transit, and at rest. Transcripts are encrypted in our database. Audit logs track every access. The in-person capture pipeline is the same HIPAA-compliant infrastructure that powers our therapy AI receptionist.
