Meetings & Assistant
Live Assistant: Smart suggestions, Q&A, sentiment, and Catchup
Use the in-call Assistant to generate suggestions, run Q&A-style output, sentiment analysis, and Catchup—grounded in your transcript and workspace context.
What the Assistant does
The Assistant helps during the meeting while the transcript is still growing. It uses your live transcript and, when you enable it, project context such as your selected project and people.
Outputs stream in over time. Wait for the run to finish before judging quality; if something fails, try again after a quieter moment or clearer audio.
Smart and Generate suggestions
The primary action is Generate suggestions (often described as Smart assistive mode): balanced, practical help for what to say or do next. Use it when you want general-purpose support during the conversation.
On plans with monthly AI quotas, the Summarize and Generate suggestions buttons show how many uses are left this billing period (for example, “· 12 left”). Search → Ask AI and meeting transcript processing on the meeting detail page show the same pattern where a quota applies.
Q&A mode
Q&A mode produces question-and-answer style suggestions—useful when you want structured prompts and responses that mirror a back-and-forth.
Sentiment analysis
Sentiment analysis focuses on tone and emotional cues in the conversation. Use it when understanding how something was said matters as much as what was said.
Catchup
Catchup compresses recent context before generating suggestions. Use it when you joined late or after a long stretch so the assistant can focus on the latest part of the discussion.
Summary and live layout
A live summary column may be available depending on your layout and session. Summarize generates a structured recap when you run it; the Assistant column is for interactive suggestions and modes.
You can adjust summary and suggestion prompts for the current meeting from the configure controls, and save defaults under Settings when you want them to apply each time.
FAQ
Why are suggestions generic or empty?
Pick a project when relevant, ensure language hints match the conversation, and on Soniox plans add glossary terms when names or jargon matter. Poor audio or a very short transcript also limits usefulness.
