Most people leave meetings unsure if they were heard, if they were clear, or if anyone made commitments. Flowly's meeting coach runs in the background during a call, listens to your speech via STT, and surfaces gentle real-time tips ("this is a long monologue — invite input") plus a structured summary at the end.

What it does

  • Live STT in the desktop or web app — your audio stays local
  • Real-time tips overlay: clarity, pacing, engagement, agenda drift
  • Per-meeting transcript stored locally
  • End-of-meeting structured summary: decisions, action items, open questions, attendee participation
  • Optional: route action items to your task tracker

What you'll need

  • Flowly Desktop (Mac/Windows) or Flowly Web
  • Microphone access (and system audio access if recording the other party)
  • Optional: a context paragraph before the call to guide tip relevance

Setup

1. Open the meeting coach

In Flowly Desktop: open the Meeting Coach tab. Click Start. The app asks for mic permission and (if you want) system audio.

Drop in a one-line context:

"Q2 product review with Sarah and Mike. I want to make sure we leave with a launch checklist owner."

2. Choose your tip frequency

  • Selective — tips only when something's clearly off (long monologue, unanswered question)
  • Moderate — same plus general engagement nudges
  • Proactive — frequent prompts; useful for high-stakes calls (interviews, sales)

Default is Moderate.

3. Run the meeting

Tips appear in a discreet sidebar. Examples:

  • "Three minutes since anyone else spoke — invite input."
  • "Sarah asked about timing 90 seconds ago, no answer."
  • "You've used 'um' 8x in 2 minutes — slow down."

Acknowledge by clicking the tip (logs your reaction) or ignore. Tips never read aloud or otherwise interrupt the call.

4. End → summary

Click Stop. Within 30 seconds you get:

  • Decisions — what was agreed
  • Action items — who's doing what by when
  • Open questions — things raised but unresolved
  • Participation — talk-time per person (rough)
  • Transcript — saved locally, retrievable later

Optionally, hand off action items to your task tracker (see Meeting Notes & Action Items).

Tips

  • First 2 meetings, ignore tips. They feel weird. Just review the end-of-meeting summary. Once you're used to that, layer in live tips.
  • Context matters. A one-line context shapes tip relevance. Without it, you get generic engagement tips. With it, the agent knows what "off-track" means for this meeting.
  • Don't show tips to the other party. They're for you. If someone's screen-sharing, switch to selective frequency or hide the panel.
  • Privacy is local. Audio doesn't leave your machine unless you explicitly route the transcript to memory or another tool.
  • Use it sparingly. Daily coaching makes you self-conscious. Weekly, for important meetings only, builds the skill without the fatigue.
