Custom formats
Custom AI note formats for the way your team reports work
Go beyond one fixed summary. Define the sections, instructions, and output style that fit your meeting, lecture, interview, or review workflow.
Founders, operators, consultants, educators, researchers, and teams that need repeatable note formats for different audiences.
First-note workflow
Source audio -> transcript -> summary -> follow-ups
Start with one real conversation and keep every generated output close to the source transcript.
Record or upload the source conversation
Start from a meeting, lecture, interview, local recording, or uploaded audio note.
Transcript excerpt
Create reusable formats for board updates, sales reviews, research memos, lecture notes, and client reports.
AI summary
Control section names and instructions instead of forcing every conversation into one summary style.
Follow-up list
Generate custom outputs from the same transcript, speakers, translations, and source note.
Problems this workflow solves
- Default AI summaries rarely match every team's internal reporting template.
- Pre-context cannot cover every user's preferred format or audience.
- Teams waste time rewriting notes into board, client, research, or lecture formats after the AI draft.

Questions teams ask
How is this different from the built-in summary formats?
Built-in formats cover common outputs. Custom formats let each user define repeatable instructions and sections for their own reporting workflow.
Can a custom format use the same transcript?
Yes. Custom formats generate from the existing note context, so the transcript and source material remain available for review.
