# AssemblyAI

> Use AssemblyAI universal-2 to transcribe meeting bot recordings: speaker labels, PII redaction, auto chapters, entity detection — full config reference with defaults.

AssemblyAI's `universal-2` model transcribes the recording post-call, with speaker labels on by default and optional PII redaction, chapters, and entity detection.

## Enable

```json
{
  "meeting_link": "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
  "bot_name": "Notetaker",
  "recording_config": {
    "transcript": {
      "provider": { "assemblyai": { "speaker_labels": true } }
    }
  }
}
```

CLI: `meetstream bot create <link> -t assemblyai`.

## Fetch the transcript

Resolve `transcript_id` via `GET /bots/{bot_id}/detail`, then `GET /transcript/{transcript_id}/get_transcript` (add `?raw=true` for AssemblyAI's raw output). For live output use [AssemblyAI Streaming](/guides/transcription-recordings/providers/assemblyai-streaming). Compare engines: [Transcription Providers](/guides/transcription-recordings/providers/transcription-providers).
