Asking Questions About Meetings
Companion's most powerful feature is its ability to "read" your entire meeting history instantly. It uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to find facts across thousands of transcripts.
How to query your meetings
You don’t have to remember the exact date or name of a meeting to find what you need. Companion helps by searching through your entire Organization Context, so even if a topic was mentioned weeks ago, it can still track it down for you.
For example, you might want to know what happened during your last meeting with a particular client. Just ask, “Can you summarize my last meeting with [Client Name]?” Or maybe you forgot some action items from yesterday—you can simply say, “What were the action items assigned to me yesterday?”.
If you’re trying to recall whether something specific, like “API rate limits,” ever came up in your engineering syncs, you can ask Companion directly, and it will dig through those transcripts for you.
Curious about customer feedback during Q4? Companion can pull out all the feature requests mentioned by customers in that time period, giving you a comprehensive overview without you having to hunt for the information yourself.
The best part is that you can phrase your questions naturally—just like you would ask a colleague. Companion takes care of searching, understanding, and presenting the answer, making your meeting knowledge truly accessible.
Understanding the source
When Companion answers a question about your meetings, it begins by searching your Meetings database and carefully reviews all relevant transcripts. The response it generates is based exclusively on the facts drawn from those recordings. To help you verify the information, Companion includes citations - usually, you can click a source to jump directly to that exact moment in the transcript.
Scoping your request
Want to make your questions even more precise? Use the handy + button right in the chat bar. This lets you guide Companion on exactly where to look for answers, so you get the info you want faster.
Here’s how you can focus your search:
Meetings: Only look through meeting transcripts. Perfect when you’re digging for something specific that was discussed in a call.
Notes: Search in your written notes and summaries. Great for finding ideas or details you’ve jotted down in the past.
Events: Ask about your schedule, upcoming appointments, or anything in your calendar.
Connectors: Tap into integrated apps like Google Calendar to expand your search even further.
Just pick the right source for your question, and Companion will comb through that area to pull out accurate, relevant answers—making it even easier to stay organized and in the know!
