Meetings with a French-speaking office?

Record the Teams or Zoom call on your Mac from the menu bar, without a bot joining, and share a summary in English with colleagues who don't speak French. The French transcript stays attached, so anyone can check exactly what was said.

Ask AI answers follow-up questions about the call, such as which deadline was agreed.
