coaching
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.
