Before you put company meeting recordings into AI minutes

Saegyeo guide · October 9, 2026

Start with your company’s rules

Whether a company meeting may be sent to an outside AI service depends on the company. Some forbid uploading work material to outside clouds or generative AI, or allow only approved services. If your security team has guidance, it comes first.

Client meetings also put the other company’s material and prices on the recording, so check whether a confidentiality agreement applies.

Tell attendees about the recording

Say you are recording when the meeting starts, and mention that AI will help write the minutes; it avoids misunderstandings later. The legal side of recording can differ by situation, so ask your company’s legal team or an expert when needed.

Check what goes where, and when

AI minutes services usually use outside AI in two steps: turning audio into text (speech recognition) and writing minutes from that text. The two steps may go to different companies. Check:

Whether the audio file itself is sent, or only the transcript
Which company each step goes to, and how long that company keeps it
Whether what you send is used for AI training. The same company’s consumer app and paid API can have different terms
Whether outside transfer can be turned off, and what stops working when it is

Check export and deletion

Minutes you can export as a file stay with you if you stop using the service. Also check that when an attendee asks to be removed, their name and utterances can be deleted in one step.

Be careful with features that rate people

Scoring attendees on how much they talked or how they behaved creates an evaluation the recorded person never agreed to, and it strains client relationships. Keep numbers about the meeting itself (was there a conclusion, were promises kept) apart from numbers about people.

How Saegyeo handles it

Off by default · outside transfer of meeting recordings starts turned off, and while it is off, recordings never leave the Saegyeo server. Turn it on yourself in settings after checking your company’s rules
Two destinations once on · audio is sent only to be transcribed, and the transcript only to Anthropic Claude to write the minutes. All through paid APIs whose terms exclude training on what is sent
Logged on every upload · Saegyeo asks whether attendees were told about the recording and keeps the answer for each meeting
Export · forget a person · minutes can be exported as a file, and if an attendee asks, their name tag and records are deleted in one step
No people scores · numbers are per meeting only, and scoring the people you meet with is not part of the product
Lectures are the exception · lecture recordings are sent to outside AI as soon as they are uploaded. Do not upload company meetings as lectures
