What can you do with the Colibri Chrome extension?

The Colibri Chrome extension brings a suite of productivity-enhancing AI features to your browser. From real-time transcription to automatic meeting summaries, here’s a breakdown of how Colibri can transform the way you conduct and recall your online conversations.

Live transcription

Colibri transcribes audio in real time allowing you to see the transcribed text in a side-panel. It’s like closed captions that don’t disappear, you can scroll up at any time and read what was said a few minutes ago. You can also bookmark notable moments in the transcript with one click to easily review them later.

AI-suggested action items

Move faster from discussion to action with AI-suggested next steps. Colibri’s AI intelligently identifies action items in your conversations, ensuring that key tasks and follow-ups are highlighted, so you can immediately focus on implementation.

AI meeting summaries

Post-meeting recaps just got a whole lot easier! Colibri will create a summary of your conversation right after you record it, freeing up valuable time for you. No need to write a meeting summary from scratch. No need to sift through the entire transcript or recording to understand the gist. Now you can quickly copy, edit, and share the AI-generated summary with your team, enabling everyone to catch up and stay informed within a few minutes.

Easy sharing

Share the meeting summary along with the meeting recording and transcription via a simple link. Ensure that your colleagues and partners can review and refer to the discussions, whether they attended or not.
