Overview

This guide shows how to run your meetings in Mem—end to end. You’ll capture notes automatically with Voice Mode, have them resurfaced in context with Heads Up, use Chat to plan and synthesize, and keep everything organized with Collections.
1

Start with Voice Mode

Start every meeting with Voice Mode to capture audio, transcript, and clean structure.
2

Review context with Heads Up

Use Heads Up to review past context and decisions in the right‑hand panel.
3

Plan and synthesize with Chat

Ask Chat to generate agendas, pull details, or synthesize across multiple notes.
4

Organize with Collections

File notes into Collections (and Shared Collections) so your team can find, reuse, and build on them.

Capture meeting notes with Voice Mode

Record and transcribe meetings so nothing gets lost. Voice Mode saves audio, transcript, and a clean note structure for fast follow‑ups.
  • On Mac or Web: Open a note and start Voice Mode to capture online meetings or in‑person discussions.
  • On iOS: Use Voice Mode on your phone for in‑person meetings; your audio and transcript sync across devices.
Tips:
  • Name your note with the meeting title and participants for easy recall later.
  • Add the meeting time and any agenda bullets at the top before you begin.
See: Voice Mode

Get automatic context with Heads Up

When you open any meeting note, the right side panel surfaces related notes, decisions, and prior meetings so you can see the bigger picture at a glance. Heads Up aligns your timeline of past and upcoming notes without manual linking. Use it to:
  • Review last meeting’s decisions before you start.
  • Jump to similar notes and related docs surfaced automatically.
  • Keep a running thread of meetings over time.
See: Heads Up

Plan and synthesize with Chat

Use Chat to turn scattered information into actionable next steps.
  • Generate an agenda: “Draft an agenda for tomorrow’s one‑on‑one based on my last few meeting notes with Alex.”
  • Recall a detail: “What did we decide about the contract timeline in last week’s call?”
  • Summarize a series: “Summarize the last three meetings and list open action items.”
Pro tip: Attach the relevant notes or Collections so Chat focuses on the right context. See: Chat

Organize with Collections

Group meetings by project, team, or client—without rigid folders. A note can live in multiple Collections at once. For example:
  • Create Collections like #Customer‑Calls, #QBRs, or #Team‑Standup.
  • Add recurring meetings to a Shared Collection so the whole team has access.
  • Let Auto‑organize suggest Collections when you’re short on time.
See: Collections

Meetings with your team

When your entire team uses Mem for meetings, you unlock shared context automatically—meeting notes, decisions, and action items are discoverable across the team. Combine Shared Collections with Chat to answer questions across everyone’s notes and draft updates faster. See the full guide: Using Mem as a Team
