Meeting Minutes
An intelligent meeting tool powered by local LLMs and speech recognition. It transcribes audio in real time, generates summaries automatically, and extracts key decisions and action items — all while keeping your data on-device.
Interface Overview
The interface is divided into three areas:
- Left sidebar (navigation and history) — manage past meetings, search records, and monitor system resources.
- Top configuration bar (meeting settings) — set the meeting topic, attendees, AI focus points, and select the underlying models.
- Main work area (live record and analysis) — split into Live Transcript, AI Analysis, and the bottom Timeline.
Quick Start: Record a Meeting
Step 1 — Create a Meeting
- Click + New Meeting Minutes at the top of the left sidebar, or configure a new session directly in the main area.
Step 2 — Fill in Meeting Information
Complete the fields at the top so the AI has accurate context:
- Meeting Topic — e.g., "V3 Product Launch Review."
- Attendees — enter the main speakers (e.g., Alice, Bob). Helps the AI label speakers (with speaker recognition support) or assign responsibilities.
- Focus Points (important) — tell the AI what to capture.
- Example input: "Decisions, risks, owners, deadlines."
- The AI extracts these specifically into the AI Analysis panel.
Step 3 — Choose Models
Select the appropriate models in the dropdowns at the top:
- Speech Recognition (ASR) model — e.g.,
funasr. Transcribes audio to text in real time. - Large Language Model (LLM) — e.g.,
DeepSeek-R1 Distill Qwen 7B. Understands the transcript and produces summaries and analysis.
Step 4 — Start the Meeting
- Click the Start Meeting button.
- The status changes from Idle to running.
- Ensure microphone permissions are granted.
Features During the Meeting
Live Transcript (left panel)
- Function — shows the live speech-to-text output (captions).
- Behavior — text streams in continuously as the meeting progresses.
- Use — verify recognition accuracy, or use as a real-time stenographic reference.
AI Analysis (right panel)
- Refresh cycle — the panel auto-refreshes every 20–30 seconds as new transcript arrives.
- Sections:
- Current Topic — identifies what is being discussed right now.
- Live Summary — a rolling summary of the meeting.
- Key Discussion — important discussion points.
- Risks — auto-detected project risks.
- Action Items — extracted tasks (who, when, what).
Timeline / Highlights (bottom panel)
- Function — when the AI detects a decision, risk, or action item, a marker is added to the timeline.
- Use — after the meeting, click any marker to jump straight to the relevant moment — no need to replay the whole recording.
Ending and Exporting
- Pause / End — click Pause to suspend recording mid-meeting; click End to finish.
- Export — click Export to save the full minutes (transcript, AI summary, action items, etc.) as a document.
History and Management
- Recent Meetings / Minutes History — every past meeting appears in the left sidebar.
- Status view — entries show the meeting status (e.g., Completed) and duration (e.g.,
1:21). - Search — use the top search box to quickly find past meeting content.
FAQ
Q: Why is the AI Analysis panel empty?
- Confirm you have clicked Start Meeting and that audio is being captured. The AI needs roughly 10–30 seconds of text before it can produce useful analysis.
- Meeting Minutes depends on the microphone. Check that the microphone is connected and working.
Q: How do I change what the AI extracts?
- Edit the Focus Points field. Add keywords such as "budget" or "technical specs" to bias the extraction toward those topics.
Q: Is meeting data uploaded to the cloud?
- No. Transcription and analysis run fully locally — meeting data never leaves your device.
