Voice notes
Recording a note with no agent listening, analysing it for a summary, transcript and signals, and asking Auron for work inside the note.
A voice note is a recording you make on your own, with no agent on the line. Use it when you have just walked out of a meeting and want your thoughts down before you forget them.
Nothing leaves the phone until you tap Analyse. Recording works with no signal, and the audio stays on the device until then.
Recording
Open a record and tap Voice Note. If one agent is linked to the record, recording starts straight away with that agent attached. If several are, pick one in the Voice note sheet and tap Start recording. If none is, it records against the record alone.
The recorder is titled "New voice note", with the record it is for. It shows Recording or Paused, a running timer and a level meter that moves with your voice. Below are three buttons. Discard throws the recording away. Pause and Resume keep one recording going instead of starting a second, and the timer counts the total. Save keeps it and opens the note.
Leaving the recorder does not stop it. A bar stays at the top of the screen showing "Voice note" and the elapsed time, with pause, discard and save buttons, so you can look something up mid-recording. Tap the bar to return to the recorder.
You cannot record during a call: the app says "Can't record while on a call". Starting a call while you are recording saves the recording first.
The note screen
The top shows the note's name, who recorded it and when. Tap the name to rename it. Below is a player with back and forward 10 seconds, Share and Delete, then the linked record and agent, then the summary.
The summary section changes as the note moves along:
| What it shows | What it means |
|---|---|
| "Analyse this note to get a summary, transcript and signals." | On the phone only. The For Auron switch and the Analyse button are here. |
| "Analysing this note…" | Uploaded, being transcribed and summarised. |
| Summary | Done. The transcript appears below it, split by speaker; tap the expand button to read it full screen. |
| Upload failed | The upload did not go through. Retry upload tries again. |
Once a note is analysed, its audio lives on the server and the copy on the phone is removed. The app fetches the audio again when you play it.
Asking Auron for work in a note
Before you tap Analyse, switch on For Auron if the note asks for work, such as "pull together what we know about their competitor". After transcription, Auron finds each request in the note and proposes an agent run for it. The proposals arrive as one card in the Inbox on a personal Home, or in the feed on a team account, with the same Approve and Dismiss controls as a proposal in chat.
Requests about the note's own record are left out, since that record's agents already work from the note. A note with no requests posts nothing. See Agents and their cards.
The For Auron switch is only on the note screen. Analysing from a long press in History does not mark the note.
Signals from a note
An analysed note is read for signals the same way a call is. They appear with your other signals, and tapping one opens the note it came from. See Signals.
Linking, sharing and deleting
A note recorded from a record is linked to that record and agent. Tap either chip to change it, or tap Unlink to remove the link. An analysed note with no link shows Link to record & agent at the bottom of the screen. Linking an analysed note does not transcribe it again; only the steps that depend on the record run.
Share sends the audio through your phone's share sheet. Once the note has a transcript, it asks whether to share the Audio or the Transcript.
Renaming an analysed note renames it on the server too, so colleagues see the new name. Delete removes the note from the phone and, if it was analysed, from the server.
Finding them again
Voice notes are in History under the Voice Notes filter, with a play button on each one. Long-press a note there for Analyse, Attach to record, Rename and Delete.
Notes analysed on another phone appear once the app has caught up with the server. Notes you have not analysed stay only on the phone that recorded them, so analyse them before you reset or replace a device.
