# Meeting Assistant

> Auto-join your video calls, capture searchable transcripts and summaries, and act on what was said. The Meeting Assistant add-on.

<Info>
  **Meeting Assistant is a \$29/month add-on** on the Professional plan (included on Enterprise). See [Plans and add-ons](/pricing).
</Info>

The Meeting Assistant is an AI notetaker that joins your meetings for you. It records, transcribes, and summarises every call, keeps a searchable memory across all of them, and can take actions on what was discussed. You stop taking manual notes, and nothing gets forgotten.

## How it works

```mermaid theme={null}
sequenceDiagram
    participant Cal as Your calendar
    participant SA as SmartAlex
    participant Mtg as The meeting
    participant Memory as Meeting memory

    Cal->>SA: Meeting starts (auto-detected)
    SA->>Mtg: Assistant joins the call
    Mtg-->>SA: Live audio + video
    SA->>SA: Record, transcribe, summarise
    SA->>Memory: Save transcript + summary (searchable)
    Note over Memory: Ask questions across every past meeting
```

Once the add-on is on, the assistant joins scheduled video calls automatically and works in the background. Open **Meetings** in your dashboard to see live and past meetings.
