TL;DR
The Meeting Details view is where you interact with a recorded meeting's content. It's organized into three tabs -AI Summary for generated summaries, Transcript for the full spoken text, and Preferences for templates and model settings. A persistent toolbar at the top provides Search, Share, Open Folder, and Preferences shortcuts. Click any meeting in the sidebar to open its details.
Meeting Details
Every meeting in Meetily -whether recorded live or imported from a file -gets its own details page. This is where you read the transcript, generate and edit summaries, export content, and configure how the AI processes this meeting.
Think of it like a document editor with tabs -each tab shows a different view of the same meeting, and the toolbar at the top gives you quick access to common actions regardless of which tab you're on.
Click any meeting in the sidebar to open its details page.
Quick Start
- Click a meeting in the sidebar to open it
- You land on the AI Summary tab by default
- If no summary exists, click Generate Summary in the action bar at the bottom
- Switch to the Transcript tab to see the full spoken text

When you switch between tabs:

- Scroll position resets to the top of the new tab's content

↓ ↓ ↓
AI Summary Transcript Preferences
(BlockNote) (Segments) (Templates + Provider)
↓ ↓ ↓
Action Bar Action Bar Settings Panels- Meeting data loads from the database when you click a meeting in the sidebar
- Tab content renders based on your selection -each tab has its own component

- Action bar sticks to the bottom and shows context-appropriate buttons
- State changes (edits, new summary, retranscription) update the database in real-time
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Reviewing a meeting and sharing notes
"I just finished a 1-hour client call. I want to review the transcript, generate a summary, and email it to the team."
Flow: Open the meeting → Transcript tab to skim what was said → switch to AI Summary → click Generate Summary → review and edit the summary → click Share → Summary > Word → save the .docx and attach to email.
Example 2: Fixing transcript errors before summarizing
"The transcription misspelled several names. I want to fix them before generating a summary."
Flow: Open the meeting → Transcript tab → click Search → search for the misspelled name → Replace All with the correct spelling → switch to AI Summary → Generate Summary. The summary uses the corrected transcript.
Example 3: Trying different summary templates
"I want to see how the same meeting looks with different summary structures."
Flow: Open the meeting → Preferences → Templates → select "Daily Standup" template → switch to AI Summary → Generate Summary → read the result. Then go back to Preferences → select "Standard Meeting" template → Regenerate to see the same content restructured.
