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 artifacts

  • Sub-views: none.
  • Role views: none. Switch to a specialized template (for example Project Kickoff or Stakeholder Update) to enable them.
  • 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.
