How to Transcribe and Summarize Meetings with AI

By StackPilot Team · June 14, 2026 · 5 min read

An AI meeting assistant joins your calls, transcribes them, and hands back a summary with action items — so you can actually pay attention. Here is what to look for and the tools that do it best.

What a good one should do

  • Join Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams automatically.
  • Produce accurate transcripts with speaker labels.
  • Summarize decisions and action items, not just words.
  • Let you search across past meetings.
