View AI answers in Flow chat with show_in_chat

Last updated: September 16, 2026

Available on: Mac, Windows, iOS

Ask the AI questions about your meeting — live or afterward — and get answers in the chat instead of written over your notes.

How it works in Flow

Key behaviors

  • Questions stay in chat: Meeting chat is a separate surface from your notes. Asking "what did he just say?" or "can you summarize the last few minutes?" returns a chat bubble, and your notes are never edited.

  • Works in both views: Chat from the floating recording window during a live meeting, or from the full Notetaker view.

  • Shared meeting links: Paste a shared meeting-notes link into the chat and the assistant opens and reads that note.

  • Citations: Answers can include citations pointing back to the meeting content or external sources they came from.

Examples

Asking a question mid-meeting

You type: "What's he saying about the Q3 budget?"

AI does: Replies in the chat, citing the specific point made. Your notes are unchanged.

Asking about a shared meeting note

You do: Paste a shared meeting-notes link into the chat.

AI does: Opens and reads the linked note, then answers from its contents.

FAQs

Can I chat with the AI after the meeting ends?

Yes. Open the meeting in the Notetaker view and use the chat to ask anything about the session.

Can the assistant find an attendee's email address?

No. The in-app assistant does not look up attendee email addresses.

Why can't I open meeting chat?

Meeting chat requires Notetaker access, which depends on Cloud Sync, HIPAA, and org policy. See Limitations and notes for the access requirements.

Limitations and notes

  • Notetaker meeting capture, notes, transcripts, sharing, and calendar linking are available on Mac and Windows. iOS can view Notetaker meetings synced from desktop but cannot record.

  • Answers and speaker attribution come from the meeting transcript, not an attendee list, so a more complete transcript gives more accurate answers.

  • Speaker names are identified for FaceTime, Webex, Dialpad Meetings, Gather, Lark, Microsoft Teams, VooV, and Zoom native apps, plus browsers, dialers, and chat/collaboration apps. Mic-only detection is trusted for Slack, Teams, Webex, and Zoom only.

  • When reading a shared note from a pasted link, the assistant sees only content you have permission to view — sharing permissions, invite lists, and organization sharing policies all apply.

  • Shared-note viewers admitted via domain or "anyone with link" never see the raw transcript; recipient email lists are visible only to the owner and invited recipients.

  • Notetaker recording has a weekly quota that resets Monday. New recordings are blocked at the cap, and Flow warns when 1 recording remains.

  • Recordings have a maximum length cap. Near the limit, a warning offers to extend, end, or dismiss. Meetings also auto-end when the mic or window signal is lost, the calendar event ends or overruns, a silence timeout is reached, the maximum length is hit, a macOS fast user switch occurs, or the machine sleeps — in which case the end time is backdated to sleep.

  • Refine audio uploads accept only .ogg and .wav files, up to 500 MB (about 4 hours).

  • Deleting a meeting also removes its transcript data. Once a transcript is erased by retention, it cannot be restored or re-transcribed.

  • All meeting, chat, and share features require Cloud Sync.

  • Meeting chat requires Notetaker eligibility: every chat action except deleting a chat is checked against Notetaker access (Cloud Sync / HIPAA / org policy). Gate states include org HIPAA BAA, admin-disabled Cloud Sync, individual HIPAA BAA, a non-admin enterprise "Request access" prompt, or Cloud Sync turned off by you. Existing chats can still be deleted after Cloud Sync is turned off. Business and Enterprise organizations get Notetaker once an admin enables it in the admin portal (Settings → Organization → Notetaker → Enable Notetaker now); on September 30, 2026 it turns on for every organization unless an admin has disabled it first.
