Your Righthand Can Now Attend Your Meetings

Your Righthand can now join meetings on your behalf—listening in, capturing everything that's discussed, and helping you with follow-ups and action items afterward.

How to Get Your Righthand Into a Meeting

There are two simple ways:

1. Invite Them to the Meeting

Just add your Righthand's email address to the invite, exactly as you would for any colleague, and they'll automatically join when the meeting begins.

2. Just Ask Them

It's as simple as messaging or calling your Righthand. Just say what you'd like them to do:

"Join my 3pm call with the ACME team and take notes. It's on my calendar."

"Attend my board meeting tomorrow and give me a summary afterward."

"Can you sit in on the client demo at 2:30? Here's the Google Meet link."

They'll find the meeting on your calendar (or you can paste the meeting link directly) and handle the rest.

What Happens in the Meeting

Your Righthand will join as a meeting participant with a name like:

Alex Sinclair (righthand)

They'll listen and record, but won't speak or participate—for now. When the meeting ends, they'll process the conversation and get back to you with:

• A summary of what was discussed
• Key decisions that were made
• Action items and who's responsible
• Reminders and tasks suggested intelligently based on what came up

All of this shows up in your Righthand's memory, so you can ask about it later:

"What did we decide about pricing in yesterday's call?"

"Hey remember that vendor call we had last monday, didn't they say they'd send over the contract?"

"Summarize my meeting with Joseph from this morning - it was like an hour long and it was before I had any coffee so it was a bit of a blur."

Customizing Behavior

Want your Righthand to handle meetings differently? Just tell them.

"Don't join meetings unless I explicitly ask you to."

"Always send me bullet points after a meeting ends - this is how I prefer to review meetings."

"After our daily team syncs, draft a follow-up email for my review."

Treat them like a real assistant. If you want something changed, text them, call them, or mention it in your next conversation. They'll adapt.

Why should a Righthand join my meetings?

You might wonder: why not just record locally on my desktop, like Granola does?

Here's our thinking:

This is training wheels. Right now, your Righthand joins meetings to listen—but the future is that they'll actually contribute. They'll answer questions, find facts for the group to reference, pull up relevant context, and take action on your behalf mid-conversation.

AI in meetings is becoming the norm. A year ago, a meeting bot felt intrusive. Today, AI assistants in meetings are increasingly common and accepted—especially in professional contexts. Many meeting platforms have built-in recording capabilities - now you have one that minds your preferences and works for you.

A bias towards transparency. Though we live in a world where privacy is rarely assumed, we believe it's a good practice to be transparent about the fact that you're recording. This is made explicit when your Righthand joins the meeting, but local recording apps are much fuzzier - relying on all parties to disclose "Hey, I'm recording this meeting..."

One fewer app to manage. We explored the idea of partnering with a meeting recording app to offer an integration. Turns out, the popular meeting recording apps don't want to partner with us, nor anybody else. Why? They want to lock you into their platform so they can experiment with new features and charge you for them. They can see the writing on the wall - they are providing a commodity service that we will simply provide from day one along with built in knowledge of your preferences and your team.

Good to Know

• Your Righthand won't message other attendees after a meeting unless you ask them to. By default, recaps and action items stay between you and your assistant. "After the meeting, send a summary to john@example.com."

• Schedule ahead when possible. For this feature to reliably work, invite your Righthand at least 10–15 minutes before a meeting starts.

• Works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

Questions or Issues?

If your Righthand doesn't join a meeting you expected them to attend, just ask them what happened—they can usually tell you if there was a problem finding the meeting link or a scheduling conflict.
