Teams Recap

Teams Recap

Teams Recap is the easiest way to recap your meetings. Using information such as the meeting transcript and meeting speakers, plus the power of AI to extract insights, Teams Recap builds a smart recap experience for every meeting that's recorded.

Speakers allow people to focus on people that are relevant to them in the meeting recap and jump straight to the parts where those people spoke.

Understanding pain points before we throw AI to it

Understanding pain points before we throw AI to it

User interviews and testing of internal recap experiences provided a deep understanding of people's pain points when trying to recap a meeting.

These insights informed and deeply shaped the way AI-powered features work and look in Teams Recap through a global cross-functional-teams collaboration.

Designing for AI

Designing for AI

Working with data scientists is essential to iterate AI-based designs. Tweaking and testing AI-features is deeply linked to working hand-in-hand with data scientists to achieve the outputs that will best relieve users' pain points and design the features powered by them.

When designing AI-powered features, feedback can't be an afterthought.

When designing AI-powered features, feedback can't be an afterthought.

Data scientists' needs for feedback must to be understood throughly by the product team and inform the design. Without good feedback being collected, we can't learn and improve AI-powered features.
