1. What is AI Meeting Minutes Generation?

Traditionally, taking meeting minutes required either live note-taking or listening back through recordings — a slow, manual process. The combination of speech recognition AI (like Whisper) and large language models (like GPT) now makes it possible to automatically extract key points, decisions, and action items from a meeting recording in minutes.

The general AI minutes workflow: ① Record the meeting → ② Transcribe audio (Whisper) → ③ Summarize with an LLM → ④ Review, edit, and share

2. Free 2-Step Workflow

Here is how to generate meeting minutes for free using Zeraku today:

Transcribe audio (Zeraku)

Use Zeraku's AI audio transcription to convert your meeting recording to text. Whisper accurately handles technical terms and multiple accents. Export as TXT, SRT, or VTT.

3. From Zoom/Teams Recordings to Minutes

Zoom and Microsoft Teams recordings (MP4 or M4A) work directly with Zeraku's audio transcription — no need to extract audio separately.

Microsoft TeamsExport recording from Stream as MP4 → Drop into Zeraku

Google MeetDownload recording from Drive → Drop into Zeraku

4. Tips for Better Accuracy

1.Denoise audio before transcribing. Background noise reduces Whisper's accuracy significantly.

2.Provide participant names and technical terms as an initial prompt to improve named-entity recognition.

3.Split long meetings into 30–60 minute segments for better LLM summarization quality.

4.Review and correct proper nouns and domain-specific terms in the transcript before passing to the LLM.

5.Specify your desired minutes structure (agenda items, decisions, action items) explicitly in the prompt for consistent output.
