What it is
Meeting Minutes is a feature that transforms your real-time discussions into structured notes, serving as a launchpad for immediate execution. It allows you to go from a conversation to a finished deliverable—like a slide deck, website, or social media collateral—all in one seamless flow.
Designed to capture in-person meetings, interviews, or monologues with a single tap, Manus analyzes the recording once your conversation concludes. It delivers a structured summary highlighting the key points, attendees, and a clear breakdown of action items. This solves the common problem of disconnected workflows where notes sit in one tool and action items in another, closing the gap between what is discussed and what is executed.
How to use it
Recording a Conversation
- Click the Meeting Recording icon in your Manus workspace.
- Begin your conversation. An auto-transcription will appear on the screen as you speak.
- When the meeting is over, click the Finish button. Manus will automatically process the recording and generate a structured summary of your meeting.
Executing Action Items
- Review the generated summary, which includes key points and assigned to-dos.
- Use the meeting notes as living context to create deliverables directly within the same task.
- Invite collaborators (such as the meeting attendees) to the Manus task to go from discussion to final output as a team in one shared space.
What you need to know
- Intelligent Speaker Recognition: Manus identifies different speakers during the recording and recognizes when names are mentioned. This ensures that action items are assigned with greater accuracy, reducing the need for manual corrections.
- Resilient Capture: You can record with confidence knowing you will not lose your ideas. Meeting Minutes continues to record even if your internet connection drops. An internet connection is only required to start the session and to generate the notes after the recording is complete.
- Credits and Usage: Recording your conversations is free. However, the analysis and generation of the structured notes will consume credits. If you run out of credits, the analysis process will be paused until you top up or upgrade your plan.
- Availability: Meeting Minutes is available today for all Manus users across all subscription tiers.
Tips
- Use it for solo brainstorming. Meeting Minutes is not just for team meetings; it works exceptionally well for capturing monologues and turning your personal ideas into structured action plans.
- Keep the screen open. While you can close your screen, doing so will stop the recording. You can resume it right where you left off, but keeping the screen open ensures uninterrupted capture.
- Transition immediately to execution. Do not let the notes sit idle. Use the generated summary immediately to prompt Manus to draft follow-up emails, create presentations, or build project outlines within the same task.
