04 Meeting notes

Meeting notes, and no bot in the room.

No bot joins, nobody gets a “this meeting is being recorded” notice. Promptly hears the call through your own computer and turns it into a TL;DR, decisions and action items with owners — saved on your machine, never on our servers.

Included with Base and Pro

How it works

Start listening

Press Ctrl ⇧ L as the call begins. Promptly hears both sides through your computer's audio.

Hit “Notes”

At any point, the whole meeting so far becomes structured markdown.

Keep it

Notes save to a local library on your machine. Copy them, or open the .md file.

What makes it different

Structured, not a transcript dump

Every note has a TL;DR, key points, decisions and action items — with owners when someone was named — the parts you'd actually forward.

Nothing joins the call

There's no participant called “Notetaker” in the grid. Promptly listens on your side, like your own ears.

Works with any meeting app

Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, Discord — anything that plays audio through your computer.

Plain markdown files

Notes are .md files in a local library, so they paste cleanly into Notion, Obsidian, a doc or an email.

Private by design

Meeting audio is transcribed in short chunks and never stored. Your notes are saved on your machine — not on our servers.

Questions

Do other people in the meeting see a bot?

No. Nothing joins the call; Promptly listens through your own computer's audio.

Where are my notes stored?

In a local library on your machine, as markdown files. We don't keep transcripts or notes on our servers.

Can I make notes partway through a meeting?

Yes. “Notes” summarizes the meeting so far whenever you press it.
