Update: We re-launched the Colibri app for Slack in September 2023. Now, you can automatically send AI-generated meeting notes to a Slack channel after each meeting to work faster and improve post-call collaboration. Head to our website to learn more about the upgraded integration and its features.

Need to capture your online meetings in a way that allows everyone on your team to access and contribute to the discussion whenever works best for them? With our new Colibri app for Slack, you can automatically transcribe your meetings in real time and post the transcription right in Slack, so your teammates can read through the transcript and interact with it during and after the meeting.

A new way of communication for the new era of work

The Colibri + Slack integration allows you to combine spoken words and typed notes in one synchronous feed. Now everyone can add comments, share links, attach screenshots, and @mention people directly in the live transcription thread in Slack. Folks who missed the meeting will be able to see those notes in context and quickly understand what was discussed and decided. It makes it easier for team members in different timezones to catch up and contribute to the discussion.

Have fewer, better meetings

When team members have a meeting transcription at their fingertips, they don’t necessarily need to join every meeting live to make an impact. They can answer questions, share their ideas, and give feedback through Slack messages.

Imagine this: during a customer meeting, a sales rep who needs help answering a technical question mentions a sales engineer in Slack, right in that live transcription thread. Instead of joining the call, the sales engineer skims through the transcript and quickly replies in the same Slack thread. Issue resolved, without any back-and-forth.

Keep your team on the same page and collaborate asynchronously

After the meeting, everyone can use the Colibri transcript as a single source of truth. A sales rep can forward customers’ feature requests and bug reports to the product team without losing the original context. A sales leader can review the call to figure out where the rep needs help and provide coaching advice — all without leaving Slack. A product marketing manager can search the Slack archive to find every moment when a competitor comes up in the customer call and better understand how their battlecard messaging is performing.

Every meeting, be it a sales call or a daily standup, is a treasure trove of insights. Colibri allows you to hand off those insights from one team to another in the most effective and transparent way.

Leverage Slack features to get more out of your meetings

With meeting transcripts available in Slack, you can use all the familiar Slack features and workflows to get more out of your meetings.

Search across your meeting transcripts

As your team’s voice conversations become a part of your searchable Slack archive, you can go back to the moments that you struggle to remember, right in Slack.

Whatever question you have — What did our engineers say about the proposed layout changes? What was it that Zoe said she didn’t like about that slide? When should I share the customer survey results with our sales team? — just search your Slack archive to find the answer in seconds.

Get notifications when a topic you care about comes up in a call

If there are topics you don’t want to miss out on, you can set up keyword notifications in Slack. You can add your project name, competitors’ names or anything else that you care about, as keywords. This way, you’ll receive a notification every time someone mentions your keyword in a call. You can read the transcription feed and decide if you want to join the conversation live, add a comment, or just save the message to come back to it later.

Turn conversations into actions with Slack workflow automations

With Colibri for Slack, you can even apply your Slack workflow automations to words spoken during the call. Through Slack, you can send your meeting takeaways to many tools you use for work, without switching tabs, copying and pasting. For example, you can turn a quote from the transcript into an Asana task or push a feature request from a customer meeting directly to Productboard — all from your Slack workspace.

Empower your team

We’re incredibly excited that the Colibri app for Slack is now publicly available in the Slack App Directory. We believe that it can bring greater transparency and alignment to your team, especially when you’re not in the same location.
