Asking questions about your meetings

Alongside keyword search, the Search view can answer natural-language questions by reading across your meetings and synthesizing an answer.

Ask a question

  1. Open the Search view.
  2. Type a question and end it with a question mark, for example what did we decide about project X?
  3. Press Enter, or click Ask.

When your query ends with ?, Daisy switches into question mode and the Ask button appears. The first question may take a little longer while Daisy indexes any new transcripts; later questions are faster.

Read the answer and sources

Daisy returns a written answer followed by a Sources list. Each source is a citation that links back to the meeting it came from, with a timestamp where available and a short excerpt. Click any source to open that meeting.

Ask follow-ups

You can keep asking. Type a new question (ending with ?) and ask again to refine or build on the previous answer.

Good to know

  • The reading and retrieval happen on your machine. Only the final synthesis step is sent to your chosen language model, which can be a local model if you prefer nothing to leave your computer.
  • Removing the trailing ? returns the box to ordinary keyword search.
  • Answers are generated from your meetings, so review the cited sources before relying on an answer.
