### AI notetaker free trial

With the free trial of the AI notetaker, you can record up to 500 meetings for free. There is no time limit, the free trial will expire once all 500 meeting recordings have been used up. During the free trial, access to recordings is limited to 14 days. This limit controls access during the trial, while recordings remain subject to the configured [recording data retention rule](https://app.ashbyhq.com/admin/interview/recording-settings/data-compliance). If you purchase the AI Notetaker add-on while a recording is still retained, you regain access to it. If the retention rule deletes a recording, you cannot recover it.

See [AI Notetaker Setup and Permissions](docId\:aLQifj88_70_q489mKpQP) for more information.

After using 500 meeting recordings, customers will need to purchase the AI Notetaker Add-on to continue using AI Notetaker. To purchase the add-on, please follow the appropriate instructions based on your plan:
