Chat with records
Ask questions against a transcript, extract decisions, and keep the answer grounded in the current record.
- Audience

- Time
- 14 minutes
- Level
- Intermediate
Scenario
Start with the workflow this guide is designed for before moving into the steps.
As a project owner, I want to ask a meeting record what changed and what needs follow-up so I do not reread the whole transcript.
You can open a record, ask grounded questions, and turn answers into review or content work.
Steps
Start from the record
Open the transcript that should provide context. Avoid asking broad account-level questions when you only need one record.
Ask for one job at a time
Ask for decisions, risks, quotes, or next actions separately so the answer is easier to verify.
Move the answer into a workflow
A useful answer should become a review note, content draft, template improvement, or task list. On record and favorite detail pages, use AI Chat for follow-up questions and Create Content when the current source is ready to become a draft.
Details
Access and credit requirements
Free accounts can use basic AI search and consume credits based on actual usage. Research, Labs, explicit model selection, and Records context require an active subscription or paid top-up credits.
- Use basic search when you do not need a paid advanced mode or private Records context.
- If an advanced option is unavailable, check the current subscription and whether the account has paid top-up credits.
- Credit limits can change; use the current Usage and Credits screens instead of relying on a fixed number in this guide.
Good questions to ask
AI Chat is most useful when the question points to a specific record, source, or review goal.
- Ask what decisions were made in this record.
- Ask what follow-up tasks are implied.
- Ask for a summary that keeps names, dates, and open questions visible.
AI Chat vs Create Content
Record detail can support two different next steps. Ask AI Chat when you still need understanding. Use Create Content when the source is strong enough to become a draft.
- AI Chat: decisions, risks, missing context, quotes, and follow-up questions.
- Create Content: article outline, social post, memo, release note, or reusable draft.
- Content Studio: schedule topics, images, generated items, and review state.
