Every recording becomes a note. Open one and you'll find four tabs.
Summary
A few paragraphs in the language the people spoke. For a business conversation it's decision-oriented; for a personal one it reads more like a story. Below it, the sections that fit this kind of conversation:
- Decisions, with who agreed.
- Action items, each with an owner. Your own come first. An owner has to have been named in the conversation; Parley Notes isn't allowed to invent one.
- Open questions, next steps and commitments (who promised what, by when).
- For a lecture: key takeaways and a glossary. For a health appointment: a checklist of instructions, questions for next time and the medications mentioned.
Many notes also carry lenses: sections that belong to the occasion. A sales call gets objections, requirements and a deal-health verdict. A customer discovery call gets pain points, needs and buying signals. A one to one gets wins, challenges and blockers. See Summary styles.
Where a section is Parley Notes' own reading rather than a record of what was said, it's badged Parley's read. Everything else is strictly what was said.
Insights
Two to four observations, each with a "so what", plus the participants and the topics.
Action items
The same action items as a list you can work through with a checkbox each and a button to send one to your Tasks or your calendar.
Transcript
Every line, with its speaker and time. Tap a line to correct the words or move it to another speaker. There is no audio to play back: Parley Notes deletes it once the note is written so the transcript is the record.
The rules the AI writes by
The AI is told to use only what was said: no invented names, numbers, dates or facts and nothing from an attached document presented as something said in the room. A recording with nothing articulate in it gets a note that says so. We'd rather give you a short note than a confident wrong one. Even so, AI can make mistakes so check what matters.
