Welcome to the new Fellow

More than just a new look and feel

Written by Darcy Aubin
Updated yesterday

Fellow has always been built for people who spend their days in meetings: planning them, running them, and turning conversations into action. Over the years, the product evolved from a collaborative agenda tool into a powerful AI meeting assistant with recordings, AI Notes, templates, and deep search. With so much new functionality, it was clear we need to rethink the core purpose and structure of the app.

This new Fellow is more than a visual refresh, it’s rethinking how Fellow guides people through their workday, from the moment they open the app to the moment they ship on their commitments. Let's take a look at what's in the new Fellow.

Primary navigation

The primary navigation has been simplified to prioritize the core features of Fellow. Fellow at its simplest is your Calendar, your Library of recorded meetings, and the Action items assigned to you. Let’s take a look at how each of these work in new Fellow.

Calendar

The Calendar starts as a view of your entire work week. Here you can prep and manage your events, select which events you want to auto-record, and plan your week ahead.

At a glance, there are icons on each event so you can quickly see which events will be recorded, are being recorded right now, and which already have AI Notes.

Hovering over any event will show you the details for that meeting, so you can see who’s accepted or declined.

Right click on any meeting to get some additional options.

Selecting an event from the Week view will navigate to the meeting. Whether you’re here in advance to prepare an agenda, following along live during a meeting, or after the meeting is done to review the AI Notes, the Calendar panel will remain open on the left side for quick navigation between meetings. You can always return to the Week view by clicking the button in the top right of the Calendar panel.

The Calendar will remember which meeting you had open last. You can navigate to the Library, Action items, or anywhere else in Fellow, and returning to the Calendar will open the previous meeting you were looking at.

Library

The Library is where all your recorded and shared meetings live. The purpose of the Library is for organization, sharing, and consumption of your meeting content.

The first section of items in the left panel are your default filters for your meeting content.

  • All meetings: Every meeting you have access to in Fellow.

  • My meetings: Meetings that you were an attendee of, including the ones you organized.

  • Favorites: Where you can favorite and group meetings that you use most often.

  • Shared with me: Meetings that were manually shared with you, that you were not an attendee of.

  • Watch later: You can mark recordings to be watched later, this is where you can find them all.

  • External: Your team’s external meetings live here so you can easily review customer calls.

  • Uploads: Manually upload video or audio files to generate AI notes for.

Channels
In the Library, you can create public or private channels, used to group and organize your recorded meetings. You can invite your coworkers to these channels so they can have access to meetings there weren’t invited to, but you still want to keep them informed of your discussions.

Meeting modal
Selecting a recording from the Library will open it in a modal overtop of the Library. Because the Library is mainly for consumption, this modality lets you quickly jump between different meetings, without losing the Library channel you were looking at. If you have full access to the meeting, you can navigate directly to the meeting by clicking the title in the header.

The Library, just like the Calendar, will remember which channel you had open last. You can navigate to the Calendar, Action items, or anywhere else in Fellow, and returning to the Library will open the previous channel you were looking at.

Action items

The Action items page will collect all action items assigned to you from across all your meetings. You can also create your own action items straight from here not associated to a meeting. There are multiple ways to sort and group your action items, so you can better prioritize the work you need to get done. You can also switch tabs at the top to view action items assigned to your teammates.

More actions

There’s a lot more that Fellow can do for you, and though these are secondary to the core product value, you can still get to them easily from the More menu in our main navigation.

  • AI Templates: Create and manage custom templates for AI Notes, Ask Fellow Shortcuts, and Agendas

  • Analytics: Key metrics for your workspaces’ meetings

  • Trackers: Track keywords, phrases, or concepts across your AI meetings

  • Tags: Organize content in your workspace

Record now

In the bottom left corner of the navigation is a global record button that is available from anywhere in the app. You can use this record button to take AI Notes for unscheduled conversations.
Note: Botless recording is only available via our Desktop app.

Meeting view

When you navigate to a meeting in Fellow, either via the modal in the Library, or directly to it via the Calendar, you might notice a new layout for the meeting content. We’ve restructured the meeting page to better organize your Agenda, AI Note, and Transcript.

Before and during the meeting
Before and during the meeting the only surface you’ll see is for the collaborative agenda accessible by all meeting attendees. You can prep talking points, bullets, action items, and so much more, so that when your meeting starts all attendees are on the same page. If the meeting is part of a recurring series, and the previous meeting has a recording, you’ll be able to generate Follow-ups from the previous conversation so nothing falls through the cracks.

To record a meeting, simply use the recording menu anchored to the bottom of this view. You can scheduled a bot to auto-record the meeting at it’s start time, or manually start a recording whenever you’re ready to have the meeting. When recording in Fellow, the recording and status is shared across all users, meaning you only need one person to start the recording, and the AI Note and transcript of that recording are available to everyone in the meeting automatically.

After the meeting
After recording a meeting, a video or audio player will appear for the recorded content, and there will be some new tabs that appear at the top of the content area to switch between your Agenda, AI Note, and Transcript from the recording. Make sure to check out our AI Note templates, or create your own, to customize the output of your AI Notes in Fellow.

Previous meetings in the series
If the meeting is part of a recurring series, scrolling to the bottom of the page you’ll find quick access to those meetings. Just like the Library, clicking these meetings will open in a modal so you don’t lose the meeting you’re looking at.

Meeting tools
On the right side of the meeting, there are some additional meeting tools available to you for your meeting.

  • Private notes: A truly private to you space where you can take notes without anyone else seeing.

  • Action items: A consolidated view of all action items from this meeting and any other meetings in the recurring series.

  • Bookmarks: A place for you and your team to save important bookmarks for quick access.

  • Meeting stats: If the meeting was recorded, stats on the meeting length, attendance, and participation.

Ask Fellow

Ask Fellow is your personal AI meeting assistant that helps you get more out of your meetings. It can answer questions about your recordings, draft documents, manage your workspace, and complete tasks directly through chat - saving you time and making your meeting workflows more efficient.

You can find Ask Fellow in the top right of every page in Fellow. Clicking it will open the Ask Fellow panel on the right. and it will use what page you’re currently looking at as the default context for your chat.

Shortcuts
Shortcuts are pre-built prompts that we’ve created and curated for you to get the most out of your meeting with just a single click. You can even save and create your own shortcuts for questions or tasks you repeatedly get Ask Fellow to do for you!

Dive deeper
Dive deeper is similar to Shortcuts, but they’re created dynamically based on the meeting content. These will always be relevant topics to dive deeper into based on the meetings you have.

Ask Fellow tools
Ask Fellow can do much more than answer questions, it can draft documents, emails, create clips, manage events, and so much more. Read more about what Ask Fellow can automate for you.
