How to turn off Slack AI huddle notes

AI notes in a Slack huddle can be stopped — or deleted — by anybody in the huddle, not only the person who started them.

How it got into your call

Turn it off

  1. Notes do not start by themselves unless somebody set a channel's huddles to do that. Ask whoever set it to switch it back.
  2. A company's Slack admin can restrict who has the feature at all.

Stop it in a call that is running

  1. On a computer: click AI notes: On, then Stop AI notes. That pauses them; Resume AI notes starts them again.
  2. To throw away what has been taken so far: Delete AI notes, then Delete and cancel.
  3. On a phone: tap the three dots on the AI notes banner, then Stop Transcription.

What it keeps

Unless they are deleted, the notes are posted as a canvas in the huddle's thread: who was there, what was discussed and what people agreed to do. Slack says anybody in that channel or direct message can read them. If the company allows it, a transcript is attached too.

A meeting with nothing to remove

On Meetful the notes are written by the meeting itself, from each person's own microphone, so no extra guest joins. Anybody can leave themselves out of the notes and stay in the call.
