Meetings: Send the Notetaker, Keep the Decisions
A walkthrough of the Meetings app: a notetaker bot for Meet, Teams and Zoom, notes from any recording, a searchable transcript, and a chat about the meeting.

Meetings produce decisions and then lose them. The Meetings app sends a notetaker into the call, or reads a recording afterwards, and keeps what was decided somewhere you can search and ask.
Two ways in
Send the notetaker to a live meeting. Paste a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom link in the panel, or say "join my 3pm Google Meet and take notes". The bot joins as "Yantra Notetaker". Status runs through booting, waiting in lobby, recording, meeting ended, transcribing and notes, notes ready. A global indicator shows a meeting in progress wherever you are in Yantra.
Notes from a recording URL. A Zoom cloud recording, a Meet recording from Drive, or any audio or video link. "Transcribe this recording and give me the action items."
The home page
Connect Google Calendar and you get your agenda for today, tomorrow and earlier, with a bot toggle per meeting. Schedule a new meeting with a Google Meet link created automatically, or Teams, Zoom or no video link, with guests and an agenda. Search all meetings and past notes.
The workspace
Three panes:
- Analytics: speaker talk time and topic trackers.
- Notes: General summary, Key items and decisions, Action items, Next steps, Critical deadlines.
- Transcript: find in transcript, playback with ten-second skips and speed control, and Ask Yantra: "what did we decide about pricing?"
Remove the bot, rename the meeting, copy the summary, download the recording or the transcript, share or embed the notes on any page. Notes land on a Notion page by default.
What to know before the bot joins
The bot joins as a guest, so the meeting must allow guests and someone must admit it from the lobby. It leaves when it is alone. Zoom needs "join from browser". The default maximum is 120 minutes. Zoho Meeting is not supported.
The meeting itself
To host the call rather than only take notes, VideoX starts a meeting with a code and a link, and the notetaker can join it.
