Summaries, highlights and follow-ups

Once a meeting is transcribed, BestShot can summarize it: an overview, key points, decisions, action items and open questions. Every point links to the moment it came from, so you can check it in one click.

Summarize a meeting

1. Open the meeting and stay on the Summary tab.
2. Pick a template from the chip at the top left (it starts on General).
3. Click Summarize. Later, Regenerate writes a new version.

The sliders button next to the template adds Instructions, for this meeting or for future ones. Earlier versions are kept, and the copy button copies the summary.

To summarize every meeting by itself, turn on Summarize after transcription in Settings → Meetings. Each summary also gives the meeting a short title unless you've typed your own.

Action items

Tick an item when it's done, and click Owner or Due to fill them in. If you connect Trello in Settings → Meetings → Trello, Send to Trello turns the items into cards.

Highlights and notes

The Highlights tab lists the moments you marked with Highlight. Each one shows its time range and transcript, can be renamed, and can be saved as an audio clip with Save clip. The Notes tab holds your timed notes and a free notes field.

Draft a follow-up email

Click the envelope button on the Summary tab. BestShot drafts a short email from the summary, with a subject and body you can edit, then Open in Mail or Copy. BestShot never sends it for you.

Choose which AI writes summaries

Pick providers in Settings → Meetings → AI. Summaries and Ask each have their own choice; Auto picks for you.

The status under each choice says whether it's ready or what it still needs. API keys are kept in your system's keychain, not in BestShot's files.
