ChatGPT Will Take Notes During Meetings and Identify Tasks on Its Own

OpenAI has introduced the new Meetings add-on, which turns ChatGPT into a more useful assistant during work meetings. The feature allows the AI to listen to a meeting, transcribe the conversation, note important points, and identify action items at the end of the discussion. Moreover, there is no need to add a separate bot or virtual participant to the meeting.

After the meeting ends, ChatGPT analyzes the transcript of the conversation, the notes written by the user, and available information obtained from connected services. It then prepares a final summary outlining the meeting’s key points and next steps. The user can edit the prepared result and ask ChatGPT additional questions about the meeting. For example, they can ask who agreed to complete a particular task. ChatGPT can then use that context to draft a follow-up email or update the project plan.

The Meetings feature also works with Google Calendar and Outlook. Interestingly, ChatGPT can detect an active call even if the meeting was not added to the calendar in advance.

The new feature is currently available in beta in the ChatGPT app for macOS. It is available to users on the Pro and Business plans, as well as some enterprise customers. The Meetings feature is planned to become available later on Windows, iOS, and Android.
