Meeting preparation
Slant automatically generates an AI preparation brief for upcoming meetings that have at least one linked household, contact, or business. The prep pulls from the linked record’s history, recent notes, past meeting summaries, and upcoming context to give you a quick refresher before the meeting starts. Prep is generated automatically when a household, contact, or business is linked to an upcoming meeting within the next 7 days. If you create a meeting three days from now and link a household, contact, or business, the prep generates right away. For meetings further out, prep is generated as the meeting enters the 7-day window. The more data Slant has on the linked record — notes, past meetings, tasks, and account details — the more useful the prep will be. If the prep content is useful, click Save as notes to copy it into the meeting’s notepad for reference during the meeting. You can customize the prep prompt to control what the AI focuses on.Online meetings
Online meetings are video or audio calls on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or Slack. When you have a connected calendar, online meetings appear automatically on the Upcoming tab and the notetaker joins to record them.
