meetings
Folk can send a notetaker into your video calls, then give you the summary, decisions, and action items.
Folk can sit in on your video calls as a notetaker. it joins the meeting, listens, and afterward gives you a clean summary with the decisions made and the action items, so you can pay attention instead of typing.
two ways to get a notetaker in
auto-join is off by default, connecting your calendar never drops a notetaker into a meeting on its own. connect your Google Calendar, then explicitly turn on auto-join (right after you connect, or anytime on the calendar connection in the dashboard). once it's on, Folk sends its notetaker to your calendar events that have a video link (Meet, Zoom, or Teams), and you don't have to lift a finger. turn it off whenever you want.
tell Folk to join a specific call:
join my 3pm standup and take notes
works with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams links, paste the link (or reply to a message that contains it) and Folk sends the notetaker in.
during the meeting
anyone in the call can talk to the notetaker through the meeting chat:
@folk note this decision ..., Folk notes it and replies in the chat@folk leave, the notetaker leaves the call immediately
the bot announces itself when it joins (a pinned "recording for the meeting host" notice) and shows a folk card in its camera tile, so nobody's surprised it's there.
after the meeting
everything shows up on your dashboard under meetings, where each one has:
- a summary of what happened
- the decisions that were made
- a list of action items
- the full transcript, if you want to dig in
and you can ask Folk about it later:
what did we decide in yesterday's product sync?
what were my action items from the standup?
