How do I summarise a meeting with AI?

Short answer

Record the meeting with an AI meeting assistant and let it write the summary. Acta records Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and in-person meetings, then writes a synopsis, the decisions, the next steps, the topics discussed and the key takeaways, with the transcript beside them. Where it finds the moment, a time next to each item plays it.
