Inspiration

While attending long meetings on Google Meet, I found it challenging to note down or remember all the important details. My team and I searched for tools to help, but none allowed us to easily find something mentioned earlier in the meeting. This frustration led us to create a tool that does exactly that.

What it does

Meetman:

  • Captures meeting transcripts as text notes using Google Meet's captions
  • Lets users interact with meeting notes during the session via the extension
  • Allows access to meeting records after the session on a dashboard, providing an easy way to review and revise discussions

How we built it

  • Initial prototype: Developed within the browser console
  • Extension development: Created a Chrome extension for capturing meeting captions and notes
  • User authentication: Added authentication to separate and secure user data, enabling personalized meeting records and notes

Challenges we ran into

  • Audio to text: We initially struggled to implement accurate speech-to-text conversion. Google Meet’s caption feature solved this by automatically generating captions that we could capture as text, increasing efficiency and reducing complexity.

Accomplishments

  • Identified the problem and developed a working solution within four days
  • Created a tool that works efficiently and shared it with friends for better meeting management

What we learned

  • Leveraged Chrome's developer features to build the extension
  • Integrated Gemini to improve the functionality and enhance meeting note usability
  • Firebase to store the data

What's next for Meetman

  • Improve feature set and usability
  • Add more integrations for better meeting management and context tracking
