Notes written around yours
When the meeting ends, Riff writes the notes. It starts from what you typed during the call and fills in the rest from the transcript, so a few words from you become complete notes.
Your words stay yours
Your paragraphs stay where you put them, in the regular text color. The text Riff adds is lighter, so you can tell at a glance what you wrote and what Riff wrote. Anything you type or edit becomes yours.
Each of your paragraphs is tied to the moment you typed it, and Riff writes the details of that moment beneath it. Your headings group the notes into sections.
Every line cites the transcript
Each line Riff writes carries the parts of the transcript it came from. Put the caret in a line and the transcript highlights them. When the audio is kept, Play plays the call from that moment.
Templates
A template sets the sections of the notes. Riff has six.
- General
- One-on-one
- Stand-up
- Customer call
- Interview
- Lecture
You can add your own template with a name and, for each section, a plain description of what goes in it. Choose the default template in Settings.
While Riff writes
The notes stream into place under a status line such as “Writing the notes for Pricing”, and you can cancel. Afterward you can switch between Riff’s Notes and My Notes, write the notes again with another template, or go back to only your own notes.
Ask about a meeting
The Ask field at the bottom of a note, or Command-J, answers questions about that meeting, such as “What did I miss?”, “Draft a follow-up email”, or “List the action items”. Each answer cites the moments it used, such as “12:04, Them”. Choose one to highlight that part of the transcript and play it.
Ask Riff, in the library’s sidebar, asks across every note. Try “What did we decide about pricing?”, “What are my open action items?”, or “Summarize my week”. Answers cite the notes by title and moment.
Which model wrote the notes
The note’s header says which model wrote it, Private Cloud Compute, the model on your Mac, or Basic notes that Riff writes itself. Written with Private Cloud Compute explains each one.
