MeetGeek automatically generates meeting summaries from your selected Meeting Template and the key insights detected during the call. You can customize those summaries to fit your workflow and surface the points that matter most.
In this guide:
What is a meeting summary?
A meeting summary is a structured recap that can be shared with all participants, highlighting the key discussion points, action items, and decisions. MeetGeek generates it automatically, helping teams:
Stay aligned on key takeaways.
Track action items and follow-ups.
Skip reviewing full meeting recordings.
Share important insights efficiently.
Each summary is structured around your selected Meeting Template, so it reflects the type of discussion held. MeetGeek applies a default structure, and you can customize it to match your needs.
Edit the summary after the meeting
Once a meeting ends, you can refine the summary so it captures the key takeaways exactly as you need. You can:
Remove or rephrase text for clarity.
Emphasize critical points.
Add missing action items, notes, or decisions.
To edit a summary, open the meeting recording, click Summary, and edit the content directly.
Customize summary formatting & structure
Customizing your summaries lets you define the structure and content, so the most relevant information is always captured.
What can you customize?
You decide which topics to include — whether generic (participants, date, blockers, next steps, concerns) or specific to the meeting type (customer needs, social media performance, candidate motivation).
1. Go to the Meeting Templates page
2. Find the template whose summary you want to customize, and open it
3. Open the Meeting Summary tab
Here you'll find the section-based summary structure. You can view and edit the current layout, select or deselect topics, and add new sections.
Create a new section
Each section is generated from a prompt that tells the AI what to capture and how to format it. Edit that prompt to:
Make the output more verbose — e.g. "Include full context, not just headlines."
Change the format — e.g. "Return as a numbered list instead of bullets."
Narrow the focus — e.g. "For Action Items, only include commitments made by participants, not tasks performed during the call."
Add required fields — e.g. "Always include an owner and due date for each action item."
Tip: The Apply to dropdown lets you push an edited summary section to any other template in the same language at once — no need to update each template individually.
4. Edit Conversation Intelligence
Configure the KPIs and metrics MeetGeek tracks for this meeting type — call sentiment, participant engagement, talk rate, suggestions, and more. Tuning these keeps the intelligence aligned with your goals, whether you run sales calls, team standups, or client check-ins.
5. Topics & Timeline
This gives a chronological breakdown of the topics discussed, each mapped to the point in the conversation where it came up — a clear picture of how the discussion evolved. It makes it easy to decide which topics to include or exclude from your summary, giving you precise control over what gets captured and shared.
Pro tip: You can re-run the analysis for your meetings from your Past Meetings page.
Once saved, MeetGeek applies your custom format to all meetings using that template.
