AI summary & assistant

Foxl Notes turns a raw transcript into something you'd actually want to read, and lets you ask questions about the meeting while or after it happens.

Automatic summaries

When Auto Summary is on (Settings > Notes > AI features - it starts off), Foxl writes a summary the moment you stop recording. The summary is structured for meetings:

• Summary - a one or two sentence overview.
• Key Discussion Points - the main topics, as bullets.
• Action Items - tasks, as a checklist, with the responsible person when it's clear.
• Decisions Made - what was settled.
• Follow-up - next steps.

The summary replaces the raw transcript in the note body (the transcript stays available in the transcript panel). The note's title in the sidebar updates to match the summary, unless you turned Auto title off or renamed the note yourself, so the list reads like a table of contents.

Summarize on demand

If Auto Summary is off, or you edited the notes and want a fresh pass, press Summarize in the top bar. It's available whenever a note has content. Foxl rewrites the note body from whatever is currently in the editor - so any corrections you made to the transcript are taken into account.

Titles

Notes names itself. Auto title (Settings > Notes > AI features, on by default) writes a short title from the transcript as soon as you stop, using a small fast model set in the Title model row; a summary then re-titles the note from itself. A note you rename by hand is left alone. See Organizing notes.

The AI assistant

Press AI Assistant in the top bar to open the assistant as a tab in the right-hand panel, beside the transcript (it opens on its own when a recording starts; on the phone use Ask AI in the bottom bar). It's available both while recording (ask about what's been said so far) and after (ask about the finished note).

• Suggestions. Foxl offers quick prompts that adapt to the conversation - summarize so far, list action items, draft minutes, suggest follow-up questions, and more.
• Ask anything. Type your own question. The assistant starts from the live transcript and your notes, and it can also go and look - see Tools and recall below.
• Insert into the note. Any answer can be dropped straight into the editor.

Tools and recall

An ask can use the same tools Foxl Agent has on your computer: open your files, search your code and notes, fetch a link, run a command. It uses whatever you have switched on under Settings > Tools, custom tools and MCP servers included, and the answer says which tools it used.

It can also search your earlier Notes threads, so "what did I say about this last week" finds the meeting you said it in - and Foxl Agent chat can find it too. Meeting threads stay out of your chat list; they are only reachable by search.

The assistant is Foxl Agent itself, not a lookalike: it knows your USER.md profile and saved memory, searches your past meetings and chats, and gets the same model fallback, retries and prompt caching as chat. The floating Live panel's ask bar runs on the same engine and shares one thread with this tab.

Automatic work is deliberately left alone and still runs on the fastest path - the post-meeting summary, the auto title, live translation and dictation clean-up use no tools, so nothing you were not waiting for got slower.

Live reply suggestions

On the desktop app, turn on Live reply suggestions (the Live panel's Options menu, or Settings > Notes > Recording) and every time the other person finishes talking a card appears in the Live panel's Suggest tab with a line you could say next - what it does in a few words, the sentence itself in the language of the meeting, and the same sentence in your own language underneath. Four buttons under the stack ask for a different angle - Agree, Push back, Ask, Suggest - and each adds a card rather than replacing one. Nothing disappears on a timer; cards stack with the time they arrived and you can scroll back. Tap the copy button on a card to put the line on your clipboard, use Own window to pop the stack into its own always-on-top window, and set Card text size separately from the caption size. It costs one AI request per turn of the other person, so it starts switched off.

Coaching report

The Report tab scores the open meeting: a Smooth Score, your speaking share and turn share, pace, a skill breakdown (language use, fluency, grammar), sentence-level feedback with a better phrasing for each quote, action items, and expressions worth learning. Press Generate report, or turn on Report for every meeting under Settings > Notes > AI features to get one after every recording. It runs on your Summary AI model.

Background context

Use the Background tab in the editor to give the AI context before or during a meeting - names, the agenda, what you're trying to get out of it. The assistant and the summary both use it to produce more relevant, specific output.

There is also a standing My context for AI field under Settings > Notes > AI features - who you are and what your meetings are usually about - used by the assistant, the Live panel and the reply suggestions on every meeting.

Live translation

Notes can translate speech as it is transcribed. It lives under Settings > Notes > AI features, alongside the summary and assistant options - it used to be its own section, so every AI-powered Notes option is now in one place. The feature itself is unchanged: a toggle, a target language, and the model that does the translating.

Turning it on picks a target language for you, so translation works without a second step.

Choosing a model

Notes uses the provider you set for Foxl Agent under Settings > Model & provider - one setting for chat, Notes and Code. Under Settings > Notes > AI features you can pin a different model for each job: Summary AI model (summaries, coaching reports and the assistant; "Same as Model & provider" by default), Title model (a small fast model - it writes one line) and Live translation AI model. Each list shows the models of the providers configured on your desktop, including any of the OpenAI-compatible ones Foxl Agent supports - OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Z.ai, Together, Mistral, xAI and the rest - and a key you paste takes effect immediately. A heavier model produces a richer summary and costs more per run.
