# Meeting summaries with action items

> Record a meeting and Bower adds a summary — TL;DR, key points, and action items with owners — above the transcript.

**Shipped 2026-07-10 · Voice notes**

When you record or upload a meeting, Bower now writes a short summary at the top
of the note — a one-line TL;DR, the key points, and a list of action items with
the owner named for each — so you can see what was decided and who's doing what
without reading the whole transcript.

## What's new

* A **Summary** panel at the top of every meeting note, above the transcript. It
  lists the participants, a **TL;DR**, the **key points**, and the **action
  items**.
* Each action item names an **owner** — the person who agreed to do it — pulled
  from the speakers in the meeting.
* A **Transcript** heading below the summary, so the full back-and-forth is still
  there in full.
* The summary is ordinary note content — edit, reword, or delete any part of it
  just like the rest of your note.

## How it works

With the **Meeting** toggle on, Bower transcribes the recording, labels each
speaker, and then reads the transcript to draft the summary. Action items are
matched to an owner only when the meeting clearly attributes the task to a named
participant — Bower never guesses who owns what. The summary is written once,
when the transcript is ready, and dropped straight into the note as editable
text.

## Good to know

* Summaries are generated for **meeting** recordings (the **Meeting** toggle on).
  Solo dictation is transcribed as before, with no summary.
* Works on every surface — the desktop recorder, the **Transcribe as meeting**
  option on an audio attachment, and meetings captured on mobile.
* An action item is left **without an owner** rather than assigned to the wrong
  person when the meeting doesn't clearly say who owns it.
* The summary is a starting point — because it's plain note content, you can
  correct or expand anything before sharing.
