Search finds meetings, people, tags and what was said. Ask answers a question in your own words, with sources that point to the exact moments in your meetings.

  1. Click Search in the sidebar, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows).
  2. Type a few words, or describe what you’re looking for, for example “budget concerns” or “what did we agree with Novon”. Search works by words and by meaning.
  3. Results are grouped into Meetings, People, Tags, Companies and In transcripts and reports. Use the arrow keys to move and Enter to open.

To turn your search into a question, choose Ask Notulist with your search text.

On All meetings you can also search titles and transcripts, and filter by status and tags. In the iPhone and Android apps, use the search field in the Meetings tab.

Ask a question

Where you ask decides what Notulist looks at:

  • Everything: click Ask in the sidebar.
  • One meeting: open the meeting and choose the Chat tab.
  • A person, company, tag or series: open its page and click Ask about this. A series is a recurring meeting, so you can ask “What did we discuss last time?”. See Meeting series.

Type your question, for example “What did we agree on last week?” or “Which action items are there, and who owns them?”, and press Send. The answer cites the moments it’s based on under Sources; click one to go to that moment in the meeting.

Your chats are kept under Earlier chats. Start over with New chat, or remove one with Delete chat.

In the iPhone and Android apps, use the Ask tab for all meetings, or the Ask tab of a meeting.

Questions about Notulist itself

Ask also answers questions about using Notulist, such as how to export a report or why you can’t record, from this help centre and the details of your own account (your plan, trial and audio used). The answer links to the help articles it comes from.

When the help centre doesn’t have the answer, Ask says so. In the web app you then see Ask support: it opens Give feedback with your question filled in. See Contact support.
