How to get live summaries and minutes from your background agent with Meetcap

Let MeetCap run your existing agent in the background to catch you up mid-meeting and write minutes after.

Who it is forA professional in a fast-moving or unfamiliar meeting who wants catch-up notes without opening a chat window.

The problemAttention drifts in long or new-topic meetings, and writing minutes afterward takes time.

The outcomeShort live summaries during the meeting and clear minutes ready when it ends, with terms explained.

What you need first

  • A Mac with macOS 14.2 or later, Apple silicon or Intel
  • Permissions granted during MeetCap setup (covered in the docs at meetcap.seacen.dev)
  • An AI agent such as Claude Code or Codex for agent-driven use cases, or a local model, your own API key, or a compatible agent for minutes

Steps

  1. Download MeetCap from https://meetcap.seacen.dev/download, open it and follow the setup.
  2. Choose an agent you already have, such as Claude Code or Codex, as the one MeetCap runs in the background.
  3. Start the recording from the menu bar, a hotkey, or a schedule before the meeting begins.
  4. Read the live summary every few minutes and check the note on any unfamiliar term.
  5. When the meeting ends, review the minutes, confirm names so they go into the glossary, and forward or export them.

Prompt for your agent

Using the seacen/meetcap repository, configure MeetCap to run <agent name> in the background and record the meeting <meeting name>. Expected output: a live summary during the meeting and minutes when it ends. Verify that the minutes open with the reason for the meeting and that each point links to a transcript line.

Caveat. The README says MeetCap works with 20+ agents on the subscription you already have, but it names only Claude Code and Codex, so confirm your agent is supported before the meeting.
