Every meeting has the moment. Someone asks “what was churn last month?” or “is that bug fixed yet?” and the room goes quiet while one person opens a laptop, searches three tabs and reads out a number. Or nobody knows, and it becomes an action item that takes a day.
An AI meeting assistant that only takes notes can’t help with that. It hears the question and writes it down. A LlamaCalls agent joins your Google Meet as a participant you can talk to. Ask it the question and it answers out loud, after looking it up in the tools you connected.
A participant, not a notetaker
AI notetakers do one job: they listen, then send a summary. That’s useful, and there are plenty of them. A LlamaCalls agent is built for the other half of the meeting, the part where people need an answer now.
| AI notetaker | LlamaCalls agent | |
|---|---|---|
| In the meeting | Listens silently | Listens and answers when asked |
| Your tools | Sends notes to them afterwards | Reads from them and acts on them during the meeting |
| How it sounds | It doesn’t | A voice, and a lifelike face if you want one |
| After the meeting | Summary | Transcript in your call history |
How it joins Google Meet
Paste the Meet link into your dashboard, choose which agent to send, and send it in. It joins from its own signed-in Google account, so it appears as a named participant like anyone else, usually within about ten seconds. Whoever is running the meeting admits it the same way they’d admit a colleague.
Once it’s in, people talk to it normally. It replies in about a second and waits until the person asking has finished, so it doesn’t talk over the room.
Connect the tools it can use
An assistant is only as useful as what it can reach. Each agent gets its own set of tools, connected with your own account so it sees what you see and nothing more:
- Notion for docs, meeting notes and wikis.
- Linear and GitHub for issues, pull requests and what shipped.
- Sentry for errors in production.
- HubSpot for deals, contacts and pipeline.
- Stripe and PayPal for payments and revenue.
- Asana and Canva, plus any other MCP server your team already runs.
It can also search the web, and work through web pages in its own browser, signed in with logins you save for it. That covers the internal dashboard that doesn’t have an API.
Tools work both ways. The agent can read (“what’s the status of the checkout bug?”) and, where you allow it, act (“file that as a Linear issue and assign it to Priya”). You decide which tools each agent has, so the one that joins customer calls doesn’t need access to your engineering backlog.
What teams use it for
Weekly business reviews
Give the agent HubSpot and Stripe. When someone asks how the quarter is tracking or which deals slipped, it answers from the source, not from last week’s slide.
Engineering standups
With Linear, GitHub and Sentry connected, it can tell you which issues closed yesterday, which pull requests are waiting on review, and whether the error spike from this morning is still happening. Then it files the follow-ups people agree on.
Customer calls
An agent with your docs in Notion can answer a customer’s product question in the meeting instead of “we’ll get back to you”. Set its rules carefully, for example “never discuss pricing; hand that to the account owner”, and it keeps to them.
Set it up like a colleague
Every agent starts from a sentence. “A chief of staff for our leadership meeting who knows our metrics and keeps answers short.” LlamaCalls drafts a role card: what it’s for, who it’s talking to, its tone, what it knows, what it never does, and when to hand off to a person. You edit that before saving. Short answers are worth asking for. A meeting assistant that gives a 90-second reply to a yes-or-no question doesn’t get invited back.
Languages and voice
Each agent speaks one of 13 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese, so a team that meets in Spanish gets an assistant that does too. Pick its voice, and give it a lifelike video face or keep it to audio.
Where it works
Google Meet today. You can also call any agent straight from your browser without a meeting, which is handy for asking it something on your own. Microsoft Teams and Zoom are on the way.
Getting started
- Sign up and describe the assistant in a sentence.
- Connect the tools it should use, each with your own account.
- Paste your next Google Meet link and send it in.
- Ask it the question that usually stalls the meeting.
