Quick notes in Take notes for me

Introducing Quick notes – high-level overview of main takeaways from your meetings that empowers you to quickly review essential information without diving into every single detail. Designed specifically for the efficient consumption of knowledge, the content fits onto a single page and is strictly limited to the most important meeting action items, outcomes, and talking points. It is built primarily for executive users, or anyone less involved in the deep details, who needs to extract information as fast as possible.

Quick notes is the new default tab in your Take notes for me Doc. For those of you that check notes while on the move, Quick notes will also serve as the new default summary prominently featured in your Take notes for me emails. This ensures you can rapidly absorb the core insights you need before you even open the full document.

If you still want to deep dive into the full meeting note details, you can hop over to the Full notes tab (the previous standard notes layout). This secondary tab preserves all the rich, in-depth context from your discussions whenever you are ready to explore the comprehensive record.

Quick notes in the notes email

Quick notes is a specific feature within Google Meet’s AI-powered “Take notes for me” tool.

When you activate “Take notes for me” in a meeting, Gemini works in the background to automatically capture the conversation and document it. Once the meeting ends, it delivers a Google Docs file saved directly to the organizer’s Google Drive.

Inside that generated Google Doc, the notes are organized into two distinct tabs:

Quick Notes Tab: This acts as a high-level, single-page summary. It is designed for busy schedules, automatically distilling the conversation down to essential outcomes, decisions, and immediate action items.
Full Notes Tab: This contains the comprehensive, detailed breakdown of the meeting context and discussion points.

How to Access and Use It

On Desktop: Join your meeting at Google Meet, click the pencil icon (“Take Notes for Me”) at the top right, and click Start. You can choose the level of detail (Standard or Longer) before starting.
On Android / Mobile: Tap the screen during a call, open the menu, select “Take notes with Gemini”, and tap Start.
Pre-scheduling: You can also enable it beforehand by opening your Google Calendar event, navigating to Video Call Options, clicking Meeting Records, and checking “Take Notes with Gemini”.

Once the session is complete, a link to the Google Doc containing both your Quick notes and full context is automatically emailed to the meeting organizer and the person who started the feature.
