MeetLara

MeetLara stitches meeting transcripts, team calendars, and task tools together so every conversation automatically turns into clear action points.

How to use MeetLara

1. Sign up at MeetLara’s website and connect your video-conferencing and calendar accounts.
2. Create a workspace, invite colleagues, and choose which meetings Lara should attend.
3. During each call, let the bot handle recording and note-taking while you focus on the discussion.
4. After the session, review Lara’s draft summary, edit anything that needs tweaking, and hit “publish”.
5. Sync the approved notes with your project board or send them straight to email and Slack channels.

A closer look at MeetLara

Advantages

• Action-ready summaries: The tool splits highlights into tasks, decisions, and follow-ups, saving me from sifting through hour-long recordings.
• Natural-sounding transcription: Even accents and cross-talk came through with minimal errors during my tests.
• Simple sharing: A single link gave teammates access to the notes, and permission controls kept private chats away from wider circulation.
• Calendar awareness: Lara skipped meetings marked as personal, preventing accidental recordings.
• Fair pricing: The free tier handled three calls a month, enough for small teams to try before paying.

Drawbacks

• No on-prem option: Security-conscious organisations that avoid cloud storage will need to look elsewhere.
• Limited language support: Transcription worked well in English and Spanish yet struggled with Dutch during my trial.
• Mobile editing feels cramped: The web app shrinks on a phone, making fine-tuning bullet points fiddly.
• Notification overload: Every update triggers an email by default; turning those off took a while to locate in settings.

Our verdict

I walked away impressed by how quickly MeetLara turned messy dialogue into neat task lists and how little setup time it demanded. A few rough edges remain—especially language coverage and mobile layout—but the core experience already saves me several hours each week. If your team relies on virtual meetings and struggles with follow-up, giving Lara a seat at the table could be the fastest upgrade you make this quarter.
