OpenAI has rolled out a Meetings plugin for the ChatGPT desktop app, its answer to dedicated meeting assistants like Granola. The plugin listens in on virtual and in-person meetings through the microphone and system audio — no awkward bot participant joins the call — then combines the transcript with the user's notes and connected-app context into a personalized summary with suggested action items.

The generated meeting notes are saved as a page in ChatGPT Space, where they can be reviewed, edited and shared, and the suggested actions can be handed to ChatGPT Work to draft follow-up emails or update project plans. OpenAI displays a consent prompt requiring users to inform participants they are being recorded; audio is deleted from both the Mac and OpenAI's servers once notes are generated.

The catch is availability: the plugin is Mac-only for now, with iOS, Android and Windows support promised later, and it sits in beta for Pro and Business users. It is a clear land-grab for the meeting-notes market just as ChatGPT Work keeps adding workday features.
