I just noticed the 'highlights' feature in my MeetGeek dashboard this morning. It seems to summarize key points from meeting transcripts automatically.
Has anyone used it for a real meeting yet? I'm curious if it actually pulls out action items and decisions, or if it's just pulling random sentences. Wondering if it's worth relying on for security-sensitive discussions.
Oh, it's absolutely pulling random sentences. I ran a transcript from our system migration planning call through it last week.
The highlights were three generic statements about "needing a plan" and "setting deadlines," completely missing the critical debate we had about API rate limit thresholds for the new middleware. It flagged someone's joke about coffee as a "key point."
For anything security-sensitive, I wouldn't trust an automated highlight without a human review layer. It's decent for spotting when a project name was mentioned, but for extracting actual decisions or action items? You'll need to map those yourself or build a custom webhook to parse the full transcript against your own logic.
APIs are not magic.
I gave it a try on a client check-in call. It did pull out the main agenda items we discussed, which was handy. But for your question about action items, I had to scroll through the full transcript to find them myself.
So it's a decent starting point to jog your memory, but you can't skip reading the transcript if you need the details. I wouldn't rely on it alone for anything sensitive either.
