The notetaker is an AI bot that joins your online meetings, records the conversation, and generates a transcript. Once the transcript is ready, Slant automatically produces a summary, notes, and recommended tasks.

​
How it works

When you have a connected calendar, the notetaker monitors your upcoming meetings. If a meeting has an online link (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or Slack), the notetaker automatically joins at the scheduled time, records the meeting, and processes the transcript when the meeting ends. The notetaker appears as a participant in your meeting with a name and avatar you can customize in settings.

​
Turn off the notetaker entirely

If you don’t want the notetaker to join any of your meetings:
1

Open notetaker settings

Go to Settings → Notetaker and select your book’s tab.
2

Turn off the Notetaker status toggle

The notetaker stops joining all future meetings for that book. You can turn it back on at any time.

​
Turn off the notetaker for a specific meeting

You can disable the notetaker for individual meetings without turning it off globally. On the Upcoming tab of the Meetings page, each online meeting shows a Notetaker toggle. Turn it off to prevent the notetaker from joining that particular meeting. You can also toggle the notetaker from the meeting detail side panel or full detail page.
The notetaker toggle only appears on meetings that have an online meeting link and are scheduled in the future.

​
Send the notetaker to a meeting not on your calendar

If you have an online meeting that isn’t on your calendar, you can still send the notetaker by creating the meeting manually:
1

Click Start meeting

On the Meetings page, click Start meeting.
2

Select the Meeting link tab

3

Add details and paste your link

Optionally select a household and meeting type, enter a title, and paste the meeting link (e.g., a Zoom or Google Meet URL).
4

Click Create meeting

The meeting is created and the notetaker is invited to join.

​
Send the notetaker to a meeting in progress

If a calendar meeting is already underway and the notetaker didn’t join automatically, you can send it manually. Open the meeting from the Upcoming tab and click the notetaker toggle or use the Send bot option to have the notetaker join the meeting in progress.

​
Phone call recording

The notetaker can also record phone calls. See phone call meetings for setup and usage. If you have a phone integration that automatically transcribes calls, those transcripts are captured as meetings automatically.

​
