Auto-transcribe Google Meet, then let Gemini write your meeting notes
Google Meet can automatically save everything said in a meeting as text. Paste that text into Google Gemini and the AI turns it into a clean summary with action items. No manual note-taking needed.
Google Meet has a built-in transcription feature that records spoken words as a text file during the call. When the meeting ends, that file lands in your Google Drive automatically. You then open it, paste the contents into Google Gemini, and ask it to summarise — Gemini pulls out decisions made, tasks assigned, and key discussion points in seconds.
This requires no extra apps or paid tools beyond what comes with a standard Google Workspace account. It's especially handy for long or frequent meetings, and sharing the AI-generated summary means teammates who missed the call can catch up instantly.
