Query meeting transcripts inside Claude Desktop

Stop digging through your dashboard to find what was said. Use `list_transcripts` to pull your recent sessions and `get_transcript` to grab the raw text for your agent to review. Your agent can parse these details to draft follow-up emails or summarize technical blockers. It turns raw audio logs into usable project context instantly.

Manage meeting threads with Claude Desktop

Keep your project discussions organized by calling `create_ask_fred_thread` directly from your chat window. You can track progress across multiple sessions using `list_ask_fred_threads`. Use `get_ask_fred_thread` to bring past Q&A context into your current conversation. It keeps the history aligned without manual copy-pasting.

Track meeting health with Claude Desktop

Get a pulse on your team engagement by calling `get_analytics` for any specific meeting ID. It extracts sentiment and talk-time data so you know if a meeting was actually productive. If you find a meeting title is outdated, fix it with `update_meeting_title`. Keeping your records clean makes it easier to find relevant data later.
