The Rundown: In this guide you’ll learn how to record and summarize meetings directly in the ChatGPT desktop app. No need to keep juggling third-party tools.
Who is this useful for:
- Employees at companies that block tools like Fireflies, Otter, Grain, Granola, etc.
- Managers who sit in way too many meetings and never read the raw notes
