First meeting goal

By the end of your first session, you should have a clear summary, concrete next steps, and an output you can share with your team immediately.
For the strongest first run, pick a recurring team meeting where follow-up quality matters, like a weekly sync, planning session, or retro.

Step-by-step

Start capture and watch Earmark get to work

1

Start the meeting

Open Earmark and click New meeting, or open the meeting from Coming up if you’ve connected your calendar. Then click record to start capturing the conversation: no plugins, no bots, no complicated setup.
2

Follow the live transcript

As the conversation progresses, the transcript updates in real time. Use it as a shared reference, with no need to take manual notes.
3

Generate an artifact mid-meeting

While the meeting is still going, try generating your first artifact. Click the prompt bar and either:
  • Type a prompt like “Summarize decisions and action items so far”
  • Type / for slash commands and pick a template like Real-Time Meeting Minutes
  • Open the Templates library and browse by use case
The artifact will update live as the conversation continues; task agents build summaries, follow-ups, and deliverables while you’re still talking.
4

Stop recording and review

When the meeting ends, stop recording. On desktop, Earmark ends the recording for you if you forget. Earmark generates a title automatically from the transcript. Review your artifact and make any edits.
5

Share with your team

Your artifact is visible to workspace members. Share it while the conversation is still fresh so your team can act on decisions immediately.

First-meeting checklist

Use this as a quick reference for your first session:
  • Open Earmark and start recording before the meeting begins
  • Let the transcript run; don’t worry about taking manual notes
  • Generate at least one artifact during the meeting
  • Review the artifact before sharing
  • Stop recording when the meeting ends (on desktop, auto-end does this for you)
  • Share the output with your team
