4. Invite Cogram to a first virtual meeting

When a meeting starts, Cogram joins and transcribes the conversation. When your meeting ends, Cogram automatically creates a high-quality meeting summary, bullet points, and action items and sends them automatically to your email inbox.

Note that you can also invite Cogram to meetings by adding invite@cogram.com to any event in your Outlook or Google calendar, or by forwarding a meeting invite to that email.

Open a meeting to view Cogram's Executive Summary, meeting attendees and invitees, a detailed Summary, structured Bullet Point notes, and action items.

Click "Download" at the top right hand side to select a Word (.docx) template to export Cogram's notes into.

5. Download Cogram's mobile app for in-person/on-site meetings

In Cogram's mobile app, you can now start an in-person meeting to transcribe, summarize, and draft minutes.

Cogram's mobile app can also be used to take photos, that are automatically combined with Cogram's notes to draft a professional field report.
