Manus Launches AI Meeting Minutes Feature for In-Person Recording

Manus has rolled out Meeting Minutes, an AI-powered feature that records in-person conversations and transforms them into structured notes, presentations, and other deliverables without switching between apps.

The tool addresses a common workflow bottleneck: meetings generate ideas and decisions, but converting those discussions into actual work often requires manual note-taking, copying action items across platforms, and rebuilding context in separate tools. Meeting Minutes attempts to collapse that process into a single interface.

What the Feature Actually Does

Users tap once to start recording any in-person meeting, interview, or solo brainstorm. The system transcribes in real-time, then analyzes the conversation to produce a summary with key points, identified attendees, and assigned to-dos.

The speaker recognition component listens for names mentioned during conversation and attempts to match action items to specific people. Manus claims the recording continues even when internet connectivity drops—you only need a connection to start the session and generate final notes.

Perhaps more interesting than the transcription itself is the execution layer. Meeting notes become the foundation for creating slide decks, websites, or social media content within the same task. Teams can invite meeting participants into the Manus workspace to collaborate on outputs directly.

Limitations Worth Knowing

The feature is explicitly designed for in-person settings—not Zoom calls or virtual meetings. You can't pause and resume recordings. If you close your screen, recording stops (though you can pick up where you left off). And while recording is free, the AI analysis and note generation consumes credits, which could add up for heavy users.

Market Context

Manus enters a growing space. The meeting management software market is projected to reach $10.12 billion by 2032, according to Verified Market Research. The sector has expanded beyond simple scheduling into agenda creation, automated minute-taking, and action item tracking.

The announcement comes as organizations increasingly seek tools that reduce the gap between discussion and execution. Just yesterday, Mount Vernon implemented CivicPlus software for managing public meeting documents—one example of broader institutional demand for better meeting workflows.

Meeting Minutes is available now to all Manus users. The credit-based pricing model means costs will scale with usage, so teams considering adoption should factor in their meeting volume when evaluating the tool.
