From spoken sentence to a record you can check
ReelMeeting does two things at once, and keeps them visibly apart. It maintains a record of what the meeting is actually settling, and — in its own section, under a harder standard — it raises critique. This page is the long version.
The pipeline
Capture
ReelMeeting captures your microphone and your system audio together, so both sides of a call are transcribed. Nothing is captured until you press Start.
Transcribe
Audio streams to a live transcript with speaker channels, arriving on screen in under half a second.
Extract the record
A pass over the running transcript pulls out what is being settled — decisions, commitments, open questions — and matches each one to prior meetings. Every card quotes the sentence it came from and carries a timestamp.
Weigh the critique
A separate pass checks new statements against everything said so far and against previous meetings. A finding may only reach the screen carrying a verbatim span from the conversation.
Close the meeting
When you stop, raw audio is discarded. The record and findings persist to your encrypted local history, and a markdown summary is emailed to you.
The record is extractive
This is why it can stay on screen for a whole meeting without costing you anything in trust: it never generates a claim. Every card repeats something that was said, attributes it, and timestamps it. If you disagree with a card, the quote is right there to check it against.
Decisions
What the room actually settled, with the sentence that settled it.
Commitments
Who took what on — named, with the words they used to take it on.
Open questions
Asked, not answered. Still sitting there when the call ends.
Callbacks
What a previous meeting decided, surfaced when it becomes relevant again.
Critique has to earn its place
Judgement is held to a different standard than description. A finding cannot appear without a verbatim span from the conversation — no evidence, no finding, however plausible the inference. At most three live cards at a time, ranked by severity, in a section visually separate from the record.
Contradiction
“Freeze the build on the 12th” — half an hour after QA needed two full weeks.
Contradicts a past meeting
This week’s plan quietly reverses what was decided three weeks ago.
Gap
The question that was asked, deflected, and never came back.
All talk, no plan
Twenty minutes of agreement with no owner, no date, no next step.
Unsupported claim
A number that decides the roadmap, sourced from nowhere.
Likely wrong
A stated fact that does not survive contact with the record.
Nuance
True as far as it goes, and what it leaves out changes the decision.
Oversight
The dependency nobody in the room has mentioned yet.
Out of scope
A tangent quietly eating the half hour you booked for something else.
What carries between meetings
Decisions, commitments, claims and risks persist as a durable record. That is what lets ReelMeeting hand you a brief before a meeting starts, track whether a commitment was kept, and notice when this week quietly reverses something settled three weeks ago.
