AI note taker
An AI note taker that listens from your computer
Troopa takes the notes in your Teams, Zoom and Google Meet calls. It listens from a desktop app on your own computer and, when the call ends, writes notes grouped by topic, with the outcome in one line and the next steps with who took each one on.
It also answers questions during the call, so it is more than a note taker: say “Hi Troopa” and ask about something said earlier, or in last week’s meeting.

At a glance
| What the call sees | Nothing of Troopa, until you present its window |
|---|---|
| How it hears | Your microphone for you, and your computer’s sound for everybody else |
| The notes | A heading for each topic with short points, then the next steps with their owners |
| The outcome | One line of at most ten words, above the notes |
| What is kept | The transcript and the notes. No audio, and no pictures of the screen |
| Names | From the meeting app’s display of who is speaking, never from voices |
| Where | In the region your organisation chose: the UK, the EU or the US |
How it works
- STEP 1
Download, then sign in
Install Troopa on your Mac, Windows PC or Ubuntu computer. The first time, allow what it asks for, so it can hear the whole call.
- STEP 2
Choose Listen in
When a call starts, Troopa offers to listen in. Or press Start meeting on Home.
- STEP 3
Read the notes
When the call ends, Troopa writes the notes from the whole transcript and puts them on the meeting’s page.
What it takes, and what the call sees
| Hears the call | Through your computer: your microphone and its sound |
|---|---|
| Needs installing | Yes, the Troopa app, by the people who use it |
| What the others see | Nothing of Troopa, until you present its window |
| Tells the others it is there | No: telling them is up to you |
From your own computer
Troopa listens from the desktop app on your computer: your microphone for you, and your computer’s sound for everybody else. It works the same on Teams, Zoom and Meet, and nothing is added to any of them.
Troopa says nothing to the room, and shows it nothing until you present its window. Before you start, tell the people on the call that Troopa is taking notes; in many places the law requires it.
What the notes look like
Troopa writes them once the call has ended, from the whole transcript. Above them sits the outcome in one line, and a meeting that had no name is given one.
- A short heading for each topic, with the points under it kept to a line or so.
- A list of next steps at the end: each task in bold, with the person who took it on in brackets, where somebody did.
- A point is put to a name only when the transcript shows who said it.
- An offer to help is not turned into somebody’s task.
- Where a figure was corrected, the corrected one is written; where the room did not agree, the notes say so rather than pick a side.
- Passwords, keys and phone numbers read out in the call are left out.
What it keeps, and for how long
The transcript and the notes, stored in the region your organisation chose when it signed up. Not the audio: the call is transcribed as it happens, and the words are what is kept.
Troopa also notes what is shared in the meeting window, at most every ten seconds, so it can answer questions about it. It keeps a short written note of what was shown, never the picture, and your organisation can turn this off.
Transcripts are kept for as long as your organisation sets. Deleting a meeting deletes its transcript, its notes and everything made from them.
Questions
What is an AI note taker?
An app that listens to a meeting, transcribes it and writes up the notes, so nobody has to take them by hand. Troopa does it from a desktop app on your own computer.
Will the other people on the call know Troopa is taking notes?
Not from Troopa: it shows them nothing until you present its window, so tell them yourself, as you would before recording. In many places the law requires it.
Does Troopa record the audio of the call?
It transcribes the audio as it happens and keeps the words, not a recording. There is no audio file, because none is made.
Can I change the notes after the call?
Yes. Edit them on the meeting’s page in Troopa, and the earlier version is kept. They stay a draft until you mark them final.
Can Troopa take notes when everybody is in one room?
Yes. Choose Start in the room for the meeting on Home, or press Start meeting. Troopa transcribes the room through your microphone and tells the voices apart, giving each a made-up name such as Anonymous Otter.
Does Troopa work without an internet connection?
No. The call is transcribed as it happens, over the internet, so Troopa needs a connection while it listens.
