General

Category: General

The legacy default. Standard summary plus attendees, takeaways, and action items — for any meeting where no specialized template fits.

When to use this template

Use General when nothing more specific fits — ad-hoc conversations, mixed-purpose meetings, or your first meeting while you explore SummitScribe. You can switch to a specialized template later (cheap regeneration; see Templates).

Fields captured

The structure is intentionally simple so the AI can fill it for any conversation:

Summary — a short prose recap of the whole meeting.
Attendees — the people who were there, with role and company when known.
Action items — concrete tasks with optional assignee and due date (rendered as a table in exports).
Key takeaways — the most important points. Each carries a High / Medium / Low priority the AI assigns.
Section summaries — one short summary per meeting section, in order.

Sub-views, role views, and pipeline artifacts

Sub-views: none.
Role views: none. Switch to a specialized template (for example Project Kickoff or Stakeholder Update) to unlock them.
Pipeline artifacts: Email draft is available on every template, including General.
Study mode: not available.

Exports

PDF, DOCX, and Markdown include the synthesis (summary, takeaways, attendees, action items) plus per-section summaries and the optional transcript. Approved email drafts appear in exports too.
