AI Templates are structured formats that organize your meeting recaps into specific sections based on your meeting type. Instead of a general summary, AI Templates can be used to extract and organize key information from your meeting transcript into predefined sections that are relevant to your workflow.


What are AI Note Templates?

AI Templates transform your meeting recordings into structured recaps with organized sections. Each template is designed for a specific type of meeting and extracts relevant information from your transcript, organizing it into meaningful categories with timestamps.


When you generate an AI Template recap, Fellow's AI analyzes your meeting transcript and populates each section with key moments from your conversation, complete with timestamps so you can easily jump to the relevant part of the recording.
