Gifted Recaps
When a Pro subscriber's Groupthink bot joins a meeting, every attendee in that meeting receives the recap email automatically, regardless of whether they have a Groupthink account or a paid plan. This is called a gifted recap.
How It Works
- A Pro subscriber has Groupthink set to auto-join their meetings
- Their bot joins a meeting that includes other people (internal colleagues, clients, or external contacts)
- After the meeting ends, Groupthink sends the AI-generated recap to all attendees
- Each recipient receives the recap even if they have a free account or no account at all
No setup is required on the part of the recipients. The recap is emailed to the address on the calendar invite.
What Recipients Receive
Gifted recap emails include the same content as a standard recap:
- Meeting summary and key highlights
- Decisions made during the meeting
- Action items and next steps
- Link to view the full transcript (if the recipient has a Groupthink account)
Benefits for Teams
For Pro subscribers: Your meeting notes automatically reach everyone in the room, eliminating the need to forward summaries manually.
For free users and non-subscribers: You receive full meeting value without needing your own subscription. If you find the recaps useful, you can sign up for your own Groupthink account to start recording your own meetings.
This creates a natural way for Groupthink to spread within teams: one Pro subscriber can give their entire team the experience of having an AI notetaker, making it easy for others to see the value firsthand.
Privacy Considerations
Gifted recaps are only sent to people who were already invited to the meeting. Groupthink uses the attendee list from the calendar invite to determine who receives the recap.
If a meeting is marked private or the bot is excluded from a meeting, no recap is generated or sent.
