Commands
Meeting Assistant has no Slack commands. In Slack you act on what it posts: you tick action item checkboxes and use the buttons on the follow-up draft card. If you type to it in Slack, you get a plain conversation that can look things up in your knowledge base. It will not generate a brief, a report or a draft from a message. The requests you can make on demand are in the app, on the Meetings page.
Request a Brief
On the Meetings page, choose Request Brief. Pick one of your upcoming meetings from the next seven days, or paste a Google Calendar event ID if the meeting is not listed. Turn Post to Slack off if you want the brief saved without a Slack post.
The assistant builds the brief now and saves it. With Post to Slack on, the card goes to the meeting channel chosen for that meeting. Only upcoming meetings are listed; a meeting that has already started is not.
Submit a Transcript
When a meeting was not captured by your meeting service, choose Submit a Transcript on the Meetings page. Give the meeting a title, choose a brand if you want to scope it, and provide the transcript as pasted text, an audio link or an uploaded file.
This runs the Principal Assistant's meeting analysis. It extracts the action items and posts a summary card to the Principal Assistant channel. It does not write follow-up drafts. The meeting then appears on the Meeting Intel page.
Read Reports and Drafts
The Meetings page shows four counts at the top: Reports, Decisions Captured, Briefs and Drafts Needing Edits. Below them are Recent Meeting Reports and Recent Briefs. Open a report with View Report to see decisions, next steps, action items and the follow-up drafts. Open in Slack takes you to the card.
A follow-up draft marked Needs Edits is one the brand check flagged. When the brand check is Off, no draft is checked, so none is counted here; under Warn, the shipped setting, a draft the check would have rejected is counted here too. The count is advisory and does not stop you approving the draft.
Follow-Up Draft Card
The card goes to the principal's private Slack messages, only for meetings where the principal is the only person from your agency on the call with outside guests, and only when a mailbox is connected. For every other meeting the report posts, but no approval card does.
| Button | What happens |
|---|---|
| Approve | Writes that draft to Gmail Drafts. The card then shows an Open Draft link. You send it from Gmail |
| Redraft | Opens a window asking what to change. Regenerate writes a new version |
| Reject (overflow menu) | Takes your feedback and discards the draft |
| Dismiss (overflow menu) | Dismisses the draft; it never reaches Gmail |
There is no Skip button.
Action Item Checkboxes
The report card lists proposed action items as checkboxes, up to 10. A long item wraps onto a second line, and one too long for both is also written out in full above the checkboxes. Tick one to create a task in your task tool. Untick it to delete that task. The result of each tick comes back as a message that only you can see.
