Who Uses Bota?

Bota is built for software companies that want to add conversation capture to their products:
Capture patient-provider conversations for clinical documentation. Auto-generate SOAP notes, visit summaries, and follow-up tasks from in-person appointments.Example: A telehealth platform adds in-person visit support by shipping Bota devices to clinicians.
Record field sales meetings and customer conversations. Generate call summaries, extract action items, and sync insights to your CRM.Example: A sales coaching platform captures in-person pitches for AI-powered feedback and training.
Enable meeting transcription for field teams, service calls, and customer interactions. Build internal tools for compliance and quality assurance.Example: An insurance company equips claims adjusters with devices for customer interaction capture.

​
How It Works

1

Set up your project

Create a Bota account and get your API keys. Use test keys for development and live keys for production.
2

Integrate the API

Use our REST API or SDKs to manage end users, devices, and recordings in your backend.
3

Ship devices to users

Distribute Bota wearables to your end users. Devices pair with your mobile app via Bluetooth.
4

Capture conversations

End users press a button to record. Audio is stored locally and works completely offline.
5

Upload and transcribe

When devices sync with your app, audio uploads to Bota. Transcription runs automatically or on-demand.
6

Build features

Use transcripts with speaker diarization to power your product — search, summaries, insights, and more.

Architecture Overview

Data Flow:
  1. Device ↔ Mobile App — Bluetooth pairing and audio sync
  2. Mobile App ↔ Your Backend — User authentication and request tokens
  3. Your Backend ↔ Bota API — Device registration, recording management, transcription jobs
  4. Mobile App → Bota S3 — Direct audio upload via pre-signed URLs
  5. Bota → Your Backend — Webhook notifications when processing completes
