All templates
SummitScribe has 36 meeting templates. Pick the one that matches what you are recording. The template tells the AI which fields to fill and which extras to offer: study mode, role views, or artifacts such as an email draft or project charter.
A template only shapes AI-generated fields around your User Notes. Switch templates after processing and regenerate only what changes. See Templates.
How templates work
- The picker is hierarchical by category. Use it from Home, the upload sheet, or the meeting's own picker.
- Each template has meeting-wide fields, which cover the whole recording, and section fields, which cover each part of it. The AI fills both.
- A few templates add sub-views (flashcards, practice quiz, mind-map tree, Cornell cues/notes layout) and role views or artifacts on the Details tab. See Role views and artifacts.
- Favorites and last-used are kept per browser.
