Meeting Notes
A notetaker that joins your meetings, transcribes them, and writes the summary.
The Meetings feature automatically joins your scheduled meetings, records them, and produces a transcript, summary, and action items. You can also upload pre-recorded audio or video files and get the same treatment.

How it works
- Connect a calendar. Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar — done once during onboarding or from your profile settings.
- The notetaker auto-joins your scheduled meetings on Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams.
- It records and transcribes the conversation in the background.
- After the meeting, MainBranch generates a summary, identifies action items, and surfaces suggested questions you might want to ask.
- You can chat with the meeting — ask follow-up questions and get answers grounded in the transcript.
What you get for every meeting
- A full searchable transcript with speakers and timestamps.
- An AI-generated summary.
- Action items, automatically assigned to participants where possible.
- Key topics surfaced as tags.
- Suggested follow-up questions you can click straight into chat.
- A chat box for asking anything about the meeting.
- A native player — video for video calls, an audio waveform player for audio-only meetings.
Privacy and consent
- The notetaker shows up in meetings as a participant. Other attendees can see it.
- Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are private to the meeting owner unless explicitly shared.
- You can disable recording for a specific upcoming meeting from the meetings list.
- You can disconnect your calendar at any time, which stops the notetaker from joining anything new.
