TL;DR
Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can now take meeting notes automatically during calls with Gemini, saving summaries to Google Docs and sending post-meeting recaps.
Key points
- 1
How to enable notes: To activate the 'Take notes for me' feature, click the pencil icon in Google Meet on web or mobile. For all meetings, enable it under Meeting records in your Google: Settings > Meeting settings > Meeting records. This ensures notes are taken for every call you host, and all participants get a notification when the feature is active. This is critical for businesses using Google Workspace, as it ensures compliance with meeting protocols and avoids manual note-taking delays.

Real-time note capture: During meetings, Gemini transcribes conversations and generates summaries with key action items in real time. This means you don’t have to manually take notes or type during discussions, which is especially helpful for busy professionals. For example, if you’re hosting a neighborhood meeting, the system captures decisions like 'Next meeting on Tuesday at 7 PM' and auto-saves them to a Google Doc. This reduces follow-up confusion and ensures action items are clear for all participants.
- 3
Post-meeting recaps: After the meeting ends, you’ll receive an email with a summary and action items. This email is sent automatically to all participants, making it easy to review next steps without extra effort. For instance, when ordering catering for a client event, the system highlights specific requests like '100 guests, vegan options' and sends them directly to your Google Doc. This ensures no critical details are missed and helps teams stay aligned without relying on memory.
