Summaries and templates

Every imported recording gets a summary, written by ChatGPT or Codex using a template.

Built-in templates

  • Meeting summary: overview, decisions, actions and open questions.
  • To-do list: the tasks mentioned, ready to work through.
  • Note to self: a tidy version of something you said to yourself.

Choose your default

Open Settings and templates in the library and pick a default template. It’s used for future imports.

Write your own template

In Settings and templates, create a template with a name and instructions describing what the summary should contain. You can also change the instructions of an existing template.

Template changes apply to future imports. Existing summaries, including ones you’ve edited, stay as they are.

Edit a summary

  1. Open a recording and select Edit summary.
  2. Change the title or the summary text. Summaries use Markdown.
  3. Select Save summary.

Editing never changes the original Recorder title or the transcript.

If the summary was changed somewhere else, such as in another tab, while you were editing, G-Records won’t overwrite it. Your draft stays in the editor: copy it, reopen the editor to see the latest version, and combine the two.
