Meeting notetakers and transcripts

Connect your notetaker in Settings → Integrations → Meeting notetakers: Fireflies, Fathom, Metaview, Granola, Otter, Circleback, Walkie, Tactiq, Zoom or Google Meet. Every 15 minutes OpenATS matches new recordings to interviews, attaches the ones it’s sure of, and asks you about the rest. You can also paste a transcript in.

How a transcript finds its interview#

  • It attaches by itself when the interview’s location is the call’s link and the call started within 30 minutes of the interview, or when the candidate’s email was on the invitation.
  • Otherwise it waits under Transcripts to review on Interviews: choose Attach or Not an interview.
  • A call with a candidate when no interview was scheduled shows under Calls with candidates: Log as interview or Not an interview.

Each interview keeps one transcript. A notetaker’s is preferred: the platform’s own (Zoom or Meet) waits two hours for it.

Add one by hand#

On a candidate, Transcripts → Add transcript takes a title, the interview (optional) and the transcript text. On an interview, Attach a recording lists your own meetings from 12 hours either side of it.

What OpenATS does with a transcript#

When AI is on, it builds a call summary (overview, key takeaways, experience and skills discussed, preferences, open questions, next steps), fills in a blank headline or location from what was said, and drafts the written answers of the interviewer’s scorecard. Ratings are never filled in. Every transcript is searchable, and Ask answers from them.
