We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.

Tips

  • Remove confidential details before pasting notes into an AI tool if your company policy requires it.

Limitations

  • Check your organization's policy before pasting confidential meeting content into an AI tool.
  • AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
