The Catch Me Up feature in Huddle uses Smart Notes to deliver real-time, on-demand AI summaries during live video conferences. Whether you join a meeting late, Step Away momentarily, or need to verify whether you were assigned a task, Catch Me Up allows you to get up to speed privately without interrupting the flow of conversation.

Notes and requirements

  • Catch Me Up relies on live meeting transcription; double-check important information. 
  • Learn how to enable always-on Smart Notes and AI Transcriptions in Huddle. 
  • All Smart Note queries and responses are private. Catch Me Up queries and AI responses are visible only to you. Other meeting participants cannot see your prompts or summary results.
  • Smart Notes must be running in the meeting to generate real-time summaries.

How to access Catch Me Up

You can access Catch Me Up in two ways during an active Huddle conference:

  1. Automatic prompt on joining.
    If Smart Notes is already active when you enter the meeting, an automated popover banner appears in the upper-right corner stating Smart Notes is running... with quick-launch prompts.

Use Catch Me Up quick prompts

Catch Me Up can only reference content spoken while Smart Notes was actively recording. If Smart Notes was paused or started late, discussions prior to recording cannot be summarized. 

Catch Me Up provides one-click prompt shortcuts to quickly answer common questions about the ongoing session:

  • What did I miss? – Generates a concise narrative overview of the key conversation points and context prior to your arrival.
  • What are the topics? – Breaks down the meeting into a structured, numbered list of main topics discussed along with any scheduled follow-up discussions.

  • Was I mentioned? – Checks the live transcript to confirm whether another participant referenced your name or directed questions toward you.
  • Action items so far? – Aggregates deliverables, tasks, and commitments identified by the AI up to that point in the call.
