AI Tutorial

How to record and summarize meetings with ChatGPT

  • Download the ChatGPT desktop app and sign in with your account.

  • Look for the record button at the bottom of any chat. It's next to where you'd normally type.

  • Click it and deal with permissions. Your Mac will ask for microphone access, then system audio access.

  • Start talking. ChatGPT live-transcribes as you talk. You can pause/resume freely.

  • Hit "Stop" when done.

  • Choose "Upload" to send the transcript to the ChatGPT server for processing. Within seconds, it opens a private canvas with a structured summary.

  • Ask anything you like about your meeting.

Sample Prompt: “Highlight any risks, blockers, or unresolved questions”

Please make sure you have everyone’s permission in the meeting to record.
