Introduction
Echo is NoteWave's AI assistant for finding information, comparing context, and turning meeting knowledge into useful follow-up. You can use it from an individual meeting or across the workspace and folders you choose.
What is Echo?
Echo is an AI-powered chat interface grounded in the meeting, workspace, or folder context you select.
Echo understands:
- Transcript and summary content from the selected meetings
- Meeting participants, dates, titles, and available metadata
- Action items, decisions, risks, and themes found in the selected context
- Related meetings grouped in a workspace or folder
- Citations that help you return to the source material
Pro Plan Feature
Choose the Right Context
Open Echo from a meeting when you need focused answers, or use Echo from a workspace or folder when your question should consider several related meetings.
A single-meeting conversation is useful for precise questions about one transcript, its actions, or its decisions.
Broader context helps you compare meetings, find recurring themes, and follow work across a project or team.
How to Use Echo
Access Echo from any transcript page using the footer input bar or quick action buttons.
Two ways to start:
- Footer Input - Type your question in the dark input bar at the bottom of the transcript page, then press Enter or click Send
- Quick Actions - Click pre-defined buttons like "Summarize meeting", "What are the action items?", or "What key decisions were made?"
When you send a message, the Echo panel opens on the right side of the screen, showing your conversation.
Voice Input
Where voice input is available, Echo can turn your spoken question into text before you send it.
How to use voice:
- Click the microphone icon in the Echo input field
- Speak your question naturally
- Real-time transcription appears as you speak
- Click Stop when finished, then Send
Example Questions
Echo can answer a wide range of questions about your meeting. Here are some examples:
- • "What did John say about the budget?"
- • "When is the project deadline?"
- • "Who was assigned to the marketing task?"
- • "Summarize the key decisions"
- • "What were the main concerns discussed?"
- • "List all the action items mentioned"
