My usecase is to record online meetings to get reliable transcription and summaries. I have been using it since late 2022, and have seen some of the improvements that the team has made. It is very promising, but currently InstaMinutes is not quite ready for prime time in my opinion - but it is getting there fast.
PROS Responsive support.
Easy to use and works well for online meetings (Zoom, Teams etc) and has built in connections to Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack and other communication platforms.
The Dashboard is logical and there are several ways to find and retrieve information by tagging, assigning recordings to channels. There is a search function to search for keywords or names - it does not work for me.
I appreciate that the summary is visible together with the actual transcript.
CONS Sometimes the Desktop app (on Windows 10) claims that it has recorded and uploaded a meeting, but it is not visible in the Dashboard. (Turns out that the Desktop app needed to be updated.)
The Search bar does not work for me at all. No matter what I search for, it does not find anything.
WISHLIST Create an easy way for users to know when they have to update the Desktop App.
Add more languages than English.
Make it possible to search for keywords and names with the search bar.
The recently announced ChatGPT functionality sounds interesting. Hope to see a solid implementation of that.

Hey,
Thanks for your response and especially sharing Cons and wishlist.
I have already shared it with our team to add the wishlist to our Product roadmap. And yes, the most powerful and efficient way to train and use ChatGPT4 for your meetings is coming you soon!
Really disappointed with Instaminutes. I kept hoping that once the issues with setting up the account were sorted it would be a great product and worth the wait - I was sadly disappointed.
It took weeks and weeks to finally get my account up and running (there was an issue that they actually mention in an update) In the end they had to totally re-set my account.
I was thrilled - until it didn't work. I use a macbook pro, was on chrome and using the extension. Set it to record and at the end of the meeting waited for it to go to the dashboard - NOTHING. I tried again - NOTHING.
I admit that I don't want to download the desktop app yet as it is not yet approved by apple. I may have taken the risk had there not been the number of previous issues, and had there been effective support.
I still have the product in the hopes that it will 'get there' - but it isn't there yet.

Hey,
Sorry for the inconvenience. I really wanted to connect and understand what exactly went wrong with your account since 12000+ users are using Instaminutes daily to summarize their meetings.
Our team tried to connect with you and get to understand it better. Please respond to them so that we can help you asap.
I have been using Instaminutes for a few weeks now, and it has made a huge difference in how I do meetings. The Live captioning feature is such a great one to keep an eye out, I love selecting my key points and training the AI to that way, its a win-win situation. The summaries it generated were accurate enough, and they include key points and action items, which has made it much easier to read quickie and get the job done. Hardly made any edits in the notes. If you are having 4-5 meetings a week then just go for it.
I was looking for a tool like this for quite some time. I take around 15+ Sales calls a week and the key takeaways from these calls are really important for me to hit my Sales target.
Have tried few tools, like Gong, etc., earlier but didn’t find it that much useful and plus it was very expensive. Instaminutes did a good job in summarising my Sales calls. I discussed with team also about what they can add to make this tool even more useful for Sales people like me. They promised me to get those features out soon, and few days back, they shared the progress with me. I’m quite happy with their AI performance and mostly, with their team support and timely response.
I’m using the Chrome extension and it is amazing - it gives interactive notes as said in the description, plus I can train AI, that’s great. Because mostly, I’m using it for my consulting calls with my clients, and have trained AI to capture key points that are important to my business and work.
Now, I don't have to worry about missing any important details. The summaries it generates are good to recap key points before I jump to the next call with my clients, and I take too many meetings so this was really important for me.
