I have been trying to find a way to integrate a chatbot into Zoom using the API, but I can’t find anything out there on this. What I need to do, is to be able to create a chatbot that works in meetings, that people can chat with over private messages. I need it to be made in Python so it can work with some of my other things. I will be using the new OpenAI Assistant API to create the chatbot. Not sure if there even is any way to make what I want, but if not, any other suggestions are also welcome. ---

@noahviktorschenk if you want to access the chat during a meeting, you need need to create a meeting SDK bot for this use case. You cannot access in meeting chat via API at this point in time. ---

@chunsiong.zoom Ah, yeah okay, thanks, Can I use Python for the Meeting SDK or does it only work with JavaScript? ---

@chunsiong.zoom do you have any resources for how to create a meeting SDK bot? I have been looking for a while now, and can’t really find anything. Any help is much appreciated ---

@noahviktorschenk, Zoom announced a meeting bot starter kit last week: > [@Meeting bot starter kit with Recall.ai](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/meeting-bot-starter-kit-with-recall-ai/99691): > > Alongside our friends at [Recall.ai](https://recall.ai) (like @amanda-recallai and @elliot-recallai), we’re happy to release an open source starter app for building Zoom Meeting bots. The Meeting Bot Starter Kit is a boilerplate assistant Zoom App built using [Recall.ai](http://Recall.ai), [Anthropic’s Claude API](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/getting-started-with-the-api), and the [Zoom Apps SDK](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/). The app joins a Zoom Meeting using an automated client and generates a transcript, requests a summary, then provides the summary back to the user in the Meeting in near real-time. Customize the Meet… Finally, another option is [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai/). It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get raw audio/video from meetings and interact with participants without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots. Let me know if you have any questions! ---
