Bring the Bridge Assistant into a live meeting as a voice participant
How a host invites the Bridge Assistant into a Bridge meeting, what to ask it out loud, and the time limits and controls to plan around.

Pick Open, Trusted or Restricted access for each Bridge meeting, set an account default, and admit or deny people waiting in the lobby.

A recap template decides what your meeting notes look like. How to pick sections per meeting type, three example templates, and how to set one up in Bridge.
Bring historical transcripts into Bridge without losing their context
Compare connected transcript import, daily sync and one-off uploads in Bridge, then check imported conversations before relying on their notes.
Turn meeting notes into a handoff someone can use
Use recap templates and sharing options in Bridge to prepare a useful meeting handoff, check its accuracy, and choose who can access it.
Save the answers your team repeats as Memory FAQs
Turn questions you answer in every meeting into Memory FAQs, so the Bridge Assistant and your agents give the same answer each time.
Organize meeting history with labels you will actually use
Choose a small, useful set of meeting labels in Bridge, apply them consistently, and use filters to retrieve relevant conversations.
Prepare a meeting brief that helps you ask better questions
Use meeting briefs in Bridge to review context, check assumptions and keep private talking points ready before a meeting starts.
Record an in-person meeting people can trust afterwards
Plan consent, device placement, and speaker names before you record a room meeting, so the transcript is usable and nobody is surprised it exists.
Find what was said in a past meeting, even months later
Track down a decision, number or quote from an old meeting: narrow the meeting list with filters, then ask across meetings and check the source.
Set up a booking page so people can book time with you
Create a Bridge booking page step by step: hosts, availability, notice and buffers, intake questions, reminders, Meet Now and link changes.

Decide which Bridge notifications reach you in-app, by email or in Slack, with example setups for busy hosts and digest readers.
Set your context so meeting AI speaks your team's language
Tell Bridge your role, team, company and industry, set context for each meeting, and give the whole workspace shared context. What to write, with examples.
Share a project's meeting history without sending ten links
Give stakeholders one place for a project's or client's meetings: choose who gets which role, add meetings as they happen, and keep sensitive calls out.
Sync Bridge bookings to your CRM or spreadsheet with the API
