4. Export as Markdown or text
Download the meeting notes as a Markdown file for your wiki or notes app, or copy the summary to share with your team.
💡 Tips
AI mode generates a more natural, contextual summary but requires downloading a model (~200MB) on first use.
For best results, include speaker labels (e.g., "John: ...") so the tool can identify participants accurately.
Action items are detected by keywords like "action", "assign", "deadline", "follow up", "complete", etc.

How AI meeting summarization works — illustrated

The meeting summarizer turns a raw transcript into structured meeting minutes through a three-stage pipeline. First, the raw text is diarized — every line is attributed to a speaker by matching name prefixes, so the engine can count participants and per-speaker word shares. Next, decisions and action items are extracted using keyword and pattern rules such as "we will" or "assigned to", which the local SmolLM2 model can refine into natural-language summaries in AI mode. Finally, everything is assembled into a structured result: an executive summary, a decisions list, and action items with assignees and priorities. Because the entire pipeline runs in your browser — including optional Whisper transcription of meeting audio — no meeting content ever reaches a server.

A three-stage pipeline: raw transcript is diarized per speaker, key phrases are classified into decisions and tasks, and a structured summary is assembled for export.

Worked example — Sarah's weekly product sync

Sarah pastes a 40-line transcript from her team's weekly product sync, with speaker labels such as "Mia: I'll own the onboarding revamp." The engine diarizes three speakers, flags two decisions, and produces four action items with assignees and priorities.

  1. Diarize:The engine matches name prefixes across 14 segments and finds 3 speakers — Mia, Leo, and Sarah — with Mia contributing 46% of the words.
  2. Extract decisions:Pattern rules surface 2 decisions, capturing "we will move the release to Friday" from the phrase "we will".
  3. Detect action items:4 tasks are assigned: Mia — onboarding revamp (High), Leo — fix signup error (High), Sarah — draft launch email (Medium), design team — follow-up (Low).
  4. Export:Sarah downloads the result as Markdown into Notion; the export bundles participants, decisions, and assignee-annotated action items.

What Is the AI Meeting Summarizer?

The AI Meeting Summarizer converts long meeting transcripts into the few things anyone actually rereads: who attended, what was decided, and what happens next. You can paste a transcript directly, or upload an audio recording (MP3, WAV, or M4A) that is transcribed on your device in more than fifteen languages, with automatic speaker labeling that separates who said what. The output is structured rather than a wall of text: a concise summary, a list of decisions, and action items that each carry an assignee, a priority of high, medium, or low, and a deadline when one was stated. Everything exports in the formats teams already use.

Who Should Use This Tool?

Project managers who sit in six meetings a day use it to keep a reliable record of commitments without writing minutes by hand. Remote and distributed teams summarize calls across time zones so absent members catch up from the source, not secondhand retellings. Agency and client-service staff turn discovery and check-in calls into shared next-step lists. Executives and board secretaries produce consistent minutes from governance meetings where decisions must be documented precisely. Students and researchers summarize group discussions and interviews. Because transcripts and audio are processed locally, it also works for HR conversations, medical case reviews, and any recorded discussion too sensitive for a cloud transcription service.

How Does It Work?

(1) Provide input: paste a transcript and an optional meeting title, or upload an audio file, choose its language, and let local Whisper transcription with speaker diarization produce the text, with stage-by-stage progress while it runs. (2) Click Summarize. With a local AI model loaded, the tool writes natural-language output; without one, it falls back instantly to keyword and pattern detection and tells you which engine ran. (3) Review the results: participants, summary, decisions, and action items with owners and priorities. (4) Export as Markdown, Notion-friendly Markdown with the transcript in a toggle block, Google Docs HTML with an action-item table, plain text, or an iCalendar file that creates a calendar event carrying the summary.

What Input Formats Are Supported?

For transcripts, any pasted text works: Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet exports, court-reporter-style text, or notes typed live. Speakers can be marked inline, for example "Sarah: let's ship on Friday", and the tool detects participants from those patterns. For audio, upload MP3, WAV, or M4A recordings and pick from more than fifteen transcription languages, including Chinese, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese. Diarization then labels speakers automatically and reports speaking statistics per person. Files are processed entirely on your machine: the Whisper model runs in your browser alongside audio decoding, so an hour-long internal recording never touches a third-party server at any stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it upload my meeting transcript to a server?

No. The AI model runs 100% in your browser using WebGPU acceleration. Your meeting transcript is tokenized, processed, and summarized locally on your device. No text is transmitted over the network, making it safe for confidential board meetings, legal depositions, and HR discussions that cannot leave your machine.

What meeting platforms and transcript formats are supported?

It accepts plain-text transcripts from Zoom (export from the recording portal), Microsoft Teams (download from meeting chat), Google Meet (email transcript), or any platform providing text. Paste directly or upload .txt files. Transcripts up to 30,000 characters (roughly a 45-minute meeting) are processed in a single pass.

What does the generated meeting summary include?

Output contains four sections: a 3-5 sentence executive overview, key decisions made (with context), action items mapped to assignees with deadlines, and a ready-to-send follow-up email draft. The entire summary generates in 10-30 seconds depending on transcript length and your GPU capability.
