AI meeting summary
An AI meeting summary is a short written overview of a meeting, generated automatically by a language model from the meeting's transcript.
What it means
Reading a full transcript takes almost as long as the meeting did. A summary condenses it into the parts that matter: the key points, the decisions, the action items. It is only as good as the transcript it is built from, so accurate transcription comes first.
Summaries can be generated in the cloud or on your own machine. A cloud summary means the transcript leaves your computer. A local summary keeps it where it is.
How this relates to Autorec
After transcribing a recording, Autorec can generate a summary so you get the gist without replaying the call or reading the whole transcript. It sends the transcript text to the LLM you configure. Point it at a local Ollama or LM Studio server and the content of a private meeting stays on your machine; with a cloud provider, that provider receives the transcript. It is off by default.
