2 min read

Meetings generate a lot of information, but most of it isn't retained. AI summarization transforms meeting transcripts into clear, actionable notes that capture decisions, action items, and key discussions.

The Meeting Documentation Problem

Too Much Information

Hour-long meetings produce hours of transcript. Who has time to read it all?

Buried Action Items

Action items and decisions get lost in general discussion.

Inconsistent Note-Taking

Manual notes vary in quality based on who's taking them and their attention level.

Poor Follow-Up

Without clear documentation, follow-up falls through the cracks.

How AI Summarization Solves This

Condense Transcripts

Transform 60 minutes of meeting transcript into a 2-minute summary.

Extract Action Items

Key Points extraction identifies decisions and tasks.

Standardize Format

Every meeting summary follows the same structure, regardless of note-taker.

Enable Searchable Archives

Summaries are easier to search than full transcripts.

Meeting Summarization Workflow

  1. Record the meeting using Zoom, Teams, or any recording tool.
  2. Get transcript from auto-transcription or transcription service.
  3. Paste into Rune's AI Summarizer.
  4. Enable Focus Mode: "What decisions were made and what action items were assigned?"
  5. Enable Key Points to capture discrete items.
  6. Set Formal tone for professional documentation.
