Meeting Assistant Overhaul
Meeting Assistant is desktop app only
We have overhauled a large portion of the Meeting Assistant to make it smaller, faster, and more efficient across all devices and platforms.
-
Now supports Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs for a 92% smaller binary and 15% faster processing times.
- If you already have the NVIDIA GPU binary installed, you can safely delete it if you want. It will still work and is backwards compatible.
-
Support for Developer API for transcription on audio (POST:
/v1/transcription/transcribe) -
Meeting Assistant context window overflow handling is much better now - so small models can summarize longer meetings.
-
Introduction of Basic Speaker Identification for 60% better summarizes from any audio.
-
Dual channel stero recordings for meetings now - leading to 80% better speaker identification in "Full Diarization" mode.
Improvements
- Linux AppImage now 91% smaller in size and caches Ollama engine downloads for faster startup times.
- Meeting Assistant title fix on meetings post-summary now auto-updates in UI
- AgentFLow variable highlight so its clear what is and is not a valid variable
- "Copy chat link" in UI to quickly re-open a chat in the desktop/self-hosted app via deeplinking.
- Re-enabled audio and video uploads via chat UI - uses Tinyscribe engine now.
- Export Chat as (PDF, JSON, Markdown, etc) from chat UI.
