Atona/How it works/Meetings
Meetings

Atona in your meetings.

Joins your video calls, listens, takes notes, and speaks up when addressed by name. Afterwards: a structured summary, decisions made, and action items — sent automatically.

In this guide: how Atona joins meetings, what it does while it's there, and what you and the other participants can expect.

What it does

Add Atona to a meeting and it joins as a participant — visible, named, with its own identity. It listens to the conversation, takes structured notes, and responds when someone addresses it by name ("Atona, when's our next launch?").

After the meeting ends, you get a clean summary in your morning brief — what was decided, what's outstanding, who owes what. Everything joins your one cross-channel memory, so the next email about the project picks up exactly where the meeting left off.

Try saying

Before, during, or after — anything you'd ask a human notetaker.

"

Join my 2 o'clock with Sarah.

"

What did we decide in this morning's meeting?

"

Send Sarah a summary and the action items.

"

Add Atona to all my recurring 1:1s.

How it works

1

Invite or ask Atona to join

Add Atona to a calendar invite, or ask it to join in chat. It joins on time as a named participant — never silently.

2

It listens and transcribes

Atona follows the conversation in real time. It tracks decisions, action items, and questions as they come up.

3

It speaks when addressed

Say its name and it answers — pull up a number, schedule a follow-up, look up a contact. Otherwise it stays quiet.

4

Afterwards: structured notes

You get a summary, action items per person, and a record that joins your cross-channel memory. The next time anyone in the meeting comes up, Atona remembers.

What you control

Auto-join rules

Have Atona join everything, only recurring meetings, only 1:1s, or only when you ask.

Voice on or off

Atona can be a silent notetaker or an active participant. Toggle per meeting.

Sensitive meetings

Mark a meeting confidential and Atona won't join — no exceptions.

Summary recipients

Choose who gets the post-meeting notes — just you, the whole room, or a custom list.

What Atona will not do

Common questions

Does it record the meeting?

Atona transcribes the meeting so you have a written record. Audio is not retained beyond the transcript. Everything lives in your private space and ages out on the same schedule as the rest of your memory.

Can other participants see it?

Yes — Atona joins as a named participant with its own video tile. It's never invisible. Anyone in the meeting can see it's there.

What if I don't want it in a meeting?

Mark the meeting confidential, or just don't invite it. You can also remove it mid-meeting like any other participant.

Does it work with Zoom, Meet, and Teams?

Yes — Atona joins all three.

Where do the notes go?

Into your morning brief, into your one cross-channel memory, and (if you choose) sent to the other participants by email.
