Meeting notes

Meeting Notes transcribes and summarizes a conversation while you stay in it.

When the recording ends, Littlebird turns the transcript into a structured summary with decisions and action items.

With Meeting Notes, you can:

• Stay present: Follow the conversation instead of splitting your attention with notes
• Keep the record: Return to the transcript, decisions, and deadlines later
• Leave with next steps: Find decisions and action items in the generated summary
• Skip the meeting bot: Littlebird transcribes audio from your computer without joining the call

More ways to use Meeting Notes

Beyond manual recording and the automatic calendar prompt, Meeting Notes offers a few more capabilities:

• Auto-start transcription: Enable automatic recording for supported meeting apps in Settings → Meetings. Littlebird will start transcribing when a meeting begins without any manual action.
• Meeting Prep button: For future events on your calendar, a Meeting Prep button appears on the event card. Click it to get a briefing prepared from your context before the meeting starts.
• Chat with a meeting note: After a meeting ends, you can chat directly from the meeting summary page. Ask follow-up questions, extract more details, or draft a follow-up email without leaving the meeting view.
• Calendar filtering: In Settings → Meetings, you can choose which calendars Littlebird monitors for automatic meeting detection, so you only get prompts for the meetings that matter.
• iOS in-person transcription: On the iOS app, you can transcribe in-person meetings using the device microphone. System audio is not available on iOS, so online meetings are not supported on mobile.

How it works

Littlebird gives you two easy ways to capture a meeting, ensuring you’re always in control.

Option 1: The automatic prompt

A few minutes before any event on your calendar, Littlebird will automatically display a small pop-up asking if you’d like to record the upcoming meeting. Click the Join Meeting button, and Littlebird will be ready to capture the conversation as soon as it begins. You can configure how early this pop-up appears in your Settings tab.

Option 2: Manual recording

If you’re jumping into an unscheduled call or you dismissed the automatic prompt, you can start recording at any time. Just open the Littlebird app, navigate to Meeting Notes, and click the + New Note button in the top right corner to start capturing the context of your call.

Once your meeting is over, Littlebird uses the context of the transcript to generate a concise, structured summary. You can find all your completed meeting notes in Meeting Notes.

The anatomy of a Meeting Note

Every Meeting Note is automatically organized into clear, scannable sections, giving you the information you need at a glance. At the top, you can easily toggle between your own Note section, the AI-generated Summary, and the full Transcript as well.

Here’s what you can expect to find in the Summary view:

• Executive summary: A short overview of the conversation for a quick read.
• For you: This is your personalized action-item list. Littlebird analyzes the conversation and extracts the specific tasks, commitments, and follow-ups assigned directly to you.
• Topics discussed: A more detailed, bullet-point breakdown of the key subjects covered in the meeting, often including important quotes to preserve specific details and context.
• Decisions: A clear, unambiguous list of the key decisions that were made during the call.
• Action items: This is your complete to-do list. Littlebird intelligently separates action items assigned to You from those assigned to Others, so you can immediately see what you’re responsible for.
• Risks/open questions: This crucial section highlights potential blockers, risks, and unresolved questions raised, ensuring important concerns don’t get lost after the meeting ends.

Every part of the generated summary is editable. Simply click into any section to add your own thoughts, corrections, or context. You can also share a link to the summary, making it easy to bring a colleague up to speed or reference a specific decision.
