AI Note Taker for meetings
Automatic recording, transcripts and structured minutes for your Meet, Teams and Zoom calls.
Flip one switch and Kepler covers your online meetings: it records, transcribes, and generates structured minutes — attached to the meeting and linked to the relevant records.
Turning it on
- Connect your calendar (see Calendar & scheduling).
- Go to Settings → Calls and enable Online Meetings. The first time, you'll be asked to accept the Note Taker terms.
- From then on, upcoming calendar meetings with a valid video link are covered automatically. Your calendar is checked for new meetings every 15 minutes.
How each platform is covered
| Platform | How it works |
|---|---|
| Google Meet / Microsoft Teams | A note-taker bot joins the call as a visible participant — admit it from the lobby like anyone else. Set the name it appears under in Settings → Calls → Meeting bot identity. |
| Zoom | Captured natively through Zoom's realtime media service — no bot joins the call. Connect Zoom from the same page; Kepler shows connection status and requirements. |
If several teammates have the Note Taker enabled for the same meeting, only one bot attends.
Choosing what gets recorded
The Auto-recording scope setting controls coverage:
- All online meetings — every eligible meeting on your calendar.
- External meetings only — only meetings with at least one participant outside your company's email domains, so internal stand-ups stay off the record.
Meeting statuses
Upcoming eligible meetings and their note-taker status appear under Settings → Calls; completed and failed recordings and notes appear on Calls. Each shows where its note taker stands: Note Taker scheduled → Joining… / In lobby (admit it!) → In meeting → Generating notes… → Notes ready. Failed / Denied entry / Cancelled mean something stopped it — most often the bot wasn't admitted from the lobby.
What you get
- Structured minutes — summary, key points, action items — typically ready 2–5 minutes after the meeting ends, with one-click copy.
- Full transcript — searchable, speaker-attributed.
- Recording playback — via a secure, short-lived link.
- Exports — transcript as .txt or .json, minutes as Markdown.
Recent notes are listed on the Calls page (searchable and filterable); failed artifacts can be retried, and users with permission to delete activities can permanently remove a meeting's recording, transcript and minutes with Delete meeting data.
Shaping the minutes
The Summary Template setting takes free-text instructions for how minutes should be written — the sections you want, the tone, the facts to always extract ("always capture salary expectations and notice period"). Insights from meetings also feed the same AI review flows as email: follow-up tasks and record updates can be proposed from what was said — always subject to your approval in Notifications.
Etiquette and consent
On Meet and Teams the bot appears as a named participant, so everyone can see the call is being covered; Zoom's native capture doesn't add a participant, so tell attendees yourself. Recording laws vary by region — get consent where required. Don't need coverage for a sensitive call? Change your recording scope, or disable Online Meetings, before the meeting starts.
On Meet and Teams, the note taker can only record if someone admits it from the waiting room. If it shows Denied entry, that's almost always what happened.
