You’ve Seen the Bot. Now Discover the Private Notetaker.

If you’ve received a Groupthink (or any other) meeting recap, you already know the power of automated meeting notes. You’ve seen how the bot captures discussions, extracts action items, and keeps everyone aligned with comprehensive summaries delivered straight to your inbox.

But here’s what many don’t realize: that visible bot is only half the story. Groupthink also offers a completely invisible recording mode for when discretion matters more than transparency.

One tool, two modes, your choice for every meeting.

The Meeting Reality Check

Let’s be honest about meetings. They’re necessary, often difficult, and almost always require follow-up that falls through the cracks. You’re juggling:

• Client meetings where a visible recording bot could damage trust or violate confidentiality
• Internal collaborations where shared notes keep everyone accountable
• Board discussions requiring discretion but needing accurate records
• Team check-ins where transparency accelerates decision-making

Each meeting type has different needs for privacy, sharing, and documentation. Yet most professionals are stuck choosing between taking manual notes (missing key details while typing) or using a visible bot that announces “this meeting is being recorded” to everyone.

The Other Side of Meeting Recording

If you’ve been in meetings with Groupthink, you’ve experienced shared mode: the bot joins, everyone knows recording is happening, and the team benefits from transparent documentation. It’s powerful for team alignment.

But what happens when:

• You’re meeting with a client who would freeze up seeing a recording bot?
• You’re in sensitive negotiations where visible recording changes the dynamic?
• You’re discussing confidential matters that require discretion?
• You need the same quality notes but can’t have a visible AI participant?

Until now, you had to choose: comprehensive notes with a visible bot, or manual note-taking with inevitable gaps. Groupthink eliminates that choice.

Two Modes, One Solution

This is why Groupthink built something different: a meeting assistant that offers both private desktop recording and shared bot recording, and which lets you choose per meeting.

Private Mode: Your Invisible Assistant

When discretion matters, Groupthink’s private mode captures everything through your desktop, no visible bot, no announcement, no awkward explanations. Perfect for:

• Sensitive client discussions where trust is paramount
• Executive negotiations requiring confidentiality
• Sales calls where you need to stay focused on relationship-building
• Consultation sessions where privacy is expected

Your meeting proceeds naturally while Groupthink captures every detail in the background. You get complete transcription, AI-powered summaries, and action items, without changing the meeting dynamic.

Shared Mode: What You Already Know

This is the Groupthink you’ve experienced. The bot joins as a visible participant, creating:

• Team alignment through shared, searchable records
• Collaborative agendas everyone can contribute to before the meeting
• Automatic email recaps sent to all participants
• Clear accountability with documented action items

You’ve seen these recaps in your inbox. You know how comprehensive they are. This mode is perfect for team meetings, standups, and any discussion where transparency accelerates progress.

The Flexibility Difference

Here’s what changes when you can choose your recording mode:

Before your meeting starts, you decide:

• Is this a trust-building moment requiring discretion?
• Would visible documentation help my team stay aligned?
• Does this meeting type have compliance or privacy requirements?
• Will participants be more open with or without visible recording?

During your meeting, you experience:

• Natural conversation flow in private mode
• Clear documentation expectations in shared mode
• Complete focus on the discussion, not note-taking
• Confidence that nothing important is missed

After your meeting, you get:

• Comprehensive transcription with speaker identification
• AI-powered summary with key decisions and action items
• Searchable records you can reference anytime
• The option to share notes selectively or keep them private

Real-World Scenarios

The Consultant’s Dilemma

You’re meeting with a client about restructuring their team. They need to speak candidly about personnel issues. A visible bot would shut down the conversation immediately. With private mode, you maintain the confidential atmosphere while capturing crucial details for your follow-up recommendations.

The Team Leader’s Challenge

Your Monday team standup needs transparency. Everyone should know what was decided and who’s responsible for what. Shared mode creates that accountability: the bot joins, captures everything, and distributes notes to all participants automatically.

The Sales Professional’s Edge

You’re on a discovery call with a potential enterprise client. They’re sharing competitive information and internal challenges. Private mode lets you focus entirely on building rapport while knowing every pain point and requirement is being documented for your proposal.

The Executive’s Requirement

Board meetings require accurate records but absolute discretion. Private mode captures everything for compliance and decision documentation without adding a digital participant that might inhibit strategic discussions.

Beyond Recording: The Complete Meeting System

Dual recording modes are just the beginning. Groupthink provides:

• Smart Agendas pulled from your calendar, keeping meetings focused
• Instant Summaries with AI-extracted action items and decisions
• Unlimited AI Chat to query any past meeting
• Cross-platform compatibility with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more
• $15/month unlimited use instead of per-minute pricing

The Choice Is Yours

Meetings are complex enough without your tools adding constraints. You shouldn’t have to choose between comprehensive notes and meeting dynamics. You shouldn’t have to apologize for your bot joining or explain why you’re typing instead of listening.

With Groupthink, you don’t have to.

Every meeting is different. Your meeting assistant should be too.

From Meeting Participant to Meeting Leader

You’ve been a recipient of Groupthink’s power, seeing the quality of notes and summaries in your inbox. Now it’s time to become the one leading meetings with this capability.

Imagine running your next client meeting with invisible recording, getting the same comprehensive notes without changing the dynamic. Or leading your team standup with shared transparency, knowing everyone leaves aligned.

Your first 5 meetings are free, no credit card required. You already know what Groupthink can capture. Now experience what it feels like to have that power at your discretion.
