Live notes
Your helper takes meeting notes as the conversation happens, from this device's microphone, a meeting tab, or your Bee, and saves them to your Library.
Start Live notes
Open any task (a new one or one you already use for a meeting) and tap Live notes in the task header. Pick what it listens to:
| Input | Good for |
|---|---|
| This device's microphone | Hears the room. Keep 1Helm open while it listens. |
| A meeting tab (Meet, Zoom web, Teams web…) | Hears everyone in the call, even with headphones on. You pick the tab and turn on "Share tab audio" (Chrome or Edge on a computer). Also record my microphone adds your side. On Windows, sharing the entire screen with system audio also hears the Zoom or Teams app. |
| Your Bee | Follows what your Bee hears, when one is connected. |
Before it starts, 1Helm reminds you to make sure everyone's OK with being recorded.
While it listens
- The notes fill in beside the chat (on a phone, switch between Chat and Notes), in sections: Summary, Decisions, Action items (with who and when), Open questions and Notes. New lines show up about 15 seconds after they're said.
- A chip shows it's live, for how long, and what it has cost so far.
- Ask your helper in the chat about what was just said, or to add an action item. Your own edits to the notes always win.
Stop and save
Tap Stop (or say "stop live notes"). Your helper writes the final notes and saves them to the channel's Library under Meetings. For a meeting that repeats, like a weekly 1:1, keep using the same task: each session is added as its own section, newest on top, and earlier sessions are never rewritten.
With a Bee, once Bee finishes processing the conversation, you may get an Update your meeting notes? card listing the exact changes its cleaned-up transcript suggests, with Apply and Don't apply. Nothing changes unless you tap Apply.
Meeting reminders
With Google Calendar or Outlook connected, about a minute before a meeting with a video link or other people in it, you get "Your 2:00 Weekly sync is starting · Take notes?". Tap it and Live notes opens in a new task named after the meeting, set to listen to a meeting tab. Turn reminders off in Settings → Notifications.
Limits and cost
- After an hour in the task, it asks "Still in the meeting?"; with no answer in 5 minutes, it stops and saves. If you leave the task or the app for 30 minutes, it stops and saves too. Every stop saves the notes, so nothing is lost.
- Live notes cost about 5–12¢ an hour, billed like other usage, and a session never goes past $1.
- Recordings from this device or a meeting tab are turned into text and not kept as audio.
