How it works
1
The notetaker joins
For a supported meeting, AI Notetaker joins and waits in the lobby until the host admits it.
2
It records
Once admitted, it records the meeting and captures the conversation.
3
It processes
After the meeting ends, Cal ID processes the recording, generates a speaker-labeled transcript, and creates the AI summary.
4
You review
The finished meeting — recording, transcript, summary, key points, decisions, action items, and chapters — appears on the AI Notetaker page.
Open AI Notetaker
Sign in to Cal ID and click AI Notetaker in the left navigation menu. The dashboard has three tabs.
Finding recordings, the bot, and settings
Meetings tab
The Meetings tab stores every meeting AI Notetaker records. Each card shows the title, date, time, platform, and current status. Use the search bar to find a meeting by title or keyword, then click it to open the summary, transcript, and recording.

Inviting the bot to an outside meeting
Settings
The Settings page controls how the notetaker behaves before, during, and after meetings.- Recording hours this month — the total meeting time recorded this month (for example, 2.5 hrs), updated automatically.
- Automatically join my booked meetings — when on, the notetaker joins eligible meetings without being invited each time.
- Which meetings — appears only when auto-join is on: All my booked meetings, or Only bookings made through Cal ID (recommended).
- Announce the notetaker and Announcement message — show a custom message to attendees when it joins.
- Bot name and Bot profile picture — customize the display name and avatar (PNG, JPG, or SVG; a 16:9 image works best).
- Meeting language — the language used for transcription.
- Email me the summary / Email attendees the summary — send the AI summary to the organizer and, optionally, the attendees after processing.
- Delete recordings after — retention: Keep forever, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or 1 year.

Choosing which meetings get recorded
Recommended settings
Best practices
- Admit the notetaker as soon as it joins, and tell the host in advance that it will request access.
- Let the meeting finish and processing complete before expecting a transcript.
- Use descriptive meeting titles so they’re easy to search later.
