Meeting notes

Meeting notes, with no bot in the call.

trepil records the call from your computer, writes the notes, and ends every meeting with who does what. Zoom, Meet, Teams, or the room you are in.

Works with the calls and calendars you already use

One meeting, from the reminder to the checklist.

A nudge, and a brief

  • A reminder 10 minutes before each meeting on your calendar.
  • Join, and the call opens with trepil already taking notes beside it.
  • A brief with who's coming and what you last discussed.

Notes shaped like the meeting.

A standup isn't a customer call. Pick a template before the call, or change it after and the note is written again in that shape. Each one keeps what people said they would do.

Names, not Speaker 2.

Your own lines are never in doubt, because trepil knows which side of the call you are on. Everyone else gets a name from the invite, or from what was said.

  • Names come from the people on the calendar invite.
  • Correct a name once and trepil remembers that voice next time.
  • Every line keeps the time it was said.

Any call, any room.

The room you are in

Put your laptop on the table and record the meeting in front of you, the same way as a call.

Any app that makes sound

trepil records the sound, not the platform: Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack huddles, FaceTime, or a phone call through your computer.

A recording you already have

Upload it in the web or desktop app and it is written up like any other meeting, transcript and checklist included.

Meeting notes, answered.

Anything else, write to hello@trepil.com. A person reads every email.

Does it work with Zoom, Meet and Teams?

Yes, and with anything else that makes sound on your computer. trepil records the audio your Mac is playing, plus your microphone, instead of joining the call as a participant. There is no bot in the attendee list and nothing to invite. It works the same for a phone call through your computer, a FaceTime, or a meeting in the room with you.

Do the other people know they are being recorded?

Nothing joins the call, so trepil never announces itself; you mention it in your own words. Most people say "I take notes with trepil, is that OK?" as the call starts, and the other person is usually glad someone is. Rules on recording differ by country and by state, and some ask for everyone's agreement, so that one line keeps everyone comfortable and on the right side of them.

How does it know who was speaking?

Your own lines are never in doubt, because trepil knows which side of the call you are on. For everyone else it tells the voices apart and matches them to names from the calendar invite or from what was said. Correct a name once and it remembers that voice.

What if I forget to press record, or to stop?

The Mac app reminds you before a meeting on your calendar, with Take notes and Join and take notes on the reminder. When a call app starts using your microphone it offers to record. And when the call ends, or the room has been quiet for 15 minutes, it stops on its own after a 10 second countdown you can cancel. It never stops on its own in the first 3 minutes.

How long can a meeting be?

Up to 4 hours. A longer recording is kept, and its first 4 hours are transcribed and written up.

Can I turn a recording I already have into notes?

Yes. Import an audio file and it is written up like any other note, with the transcript, the decisions and who does what. Files can be up to 40 minutes each.

What does the checklist look like?

Every meeting note ends with two short lists: what was decided, and who does what. Each to-do has an owner and, when someone said one, a date. Tick them off in trepil on any device, or ask "What's still open for me?" across every meeting.
