Overview
Ad-hoc meetings let you record any video call without a calendar connection. Paste a Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet link, and the Ospri bot joins instantly or at a scheduled time. The same transcription and analysis pipeline runs automatically — no manual steps needed. This is ideal for:- Meetings that aren’t on your calendar
- Quick calls you decide to record last-minute
- External meetings where you want to capture the conversation
- Calls on platforms you haven’t connected via calendar sync
How to Invite the Bot
The Invite to Meeting button is available in three places:- Meetings page header
- Dashboard header
- Home page (below the suggestion chips, when starting a new Brain conversation)
Paste the meeting link
Paste any video meeting URL into the input field:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/...https://zoom.us/j/...https://meet.google.com/...- Webex, BlueJeans, and other meeting URLs
Add a title (optional)
Enter a meeting title so it’s easy to find later. If you leave this blank, the platform will try to auto-detect the title.
Choose when to join
- Join Now — The bot joins the meeting immediately
- Schedule for Later — Pick a date and time; the bot will join at the scheduled time
What Happens After
Once the bot joins, the standard pipeline runs automatically:- Recording — The bot records the meeting with speaker-separated audio
- Transcription — Deepgram Nova-2 or Recall.ai transcribes with speaker diarization
- Speaker identification — Participant names are resolved from the meeting platform
- AI Analysis — Executive summary, action items, decisions, risks, and more
- Available in Recordings — The meeting appears in the Recordings tab with full transcript and analysis
