The dataset is intended to help people identify and control notetakers, which can appear as calendar guests, built-in platform features, or local recorders that never show up in participant lists. Meetful advises treating name matches only as a starting point and keeping any name-based alerts reviewable by a human.", "body_md": "A meeting participant called “Notetaker” tells you surprisingly little. It might be a calendar guest, a built-in feature of the call platform, or a separate recorder that never appears in the participant list. Those cases require different controls. A name match is a starting point for review.\n\nWe published a [dataset of 90 meeting notetakers](https://fliclabs.github.io/ai-notetakers/) at Meetful. The records describe how each tool joins and link to the vendor instructions. You can download the [JSON](https://fliclabs.github.io/ai-notetakers/notetakers.json) or [CSV](https://fliclabs.github.io/ai-notetakers/notetakers.csv).\n\nIf it joins as a participant, start with the participant list and the calendar invite. Removing it from the call and changing future auto-join settings are separate actions.\n\nIf it’s built into the platform, look for the relevant recording, transcription, or assistant controls for your role and account.\n\nIf it records locally, the participant list may offer no signal. Ask how notes are being captured and agree on what can be shared before the conversation starts.\n\n```\ncurl -fsSL https://fliclabs.github.io/ai-notetakers/notetakers.json |\n  jq -r '.notetakers[] | [.name, .kind, .page] | @tsv'\n```\n\nFor an internal directory, keep the source URLs next to each entry. Treat a missing value as unknown. If you flag a participant by name, make the alert reviewable by a human: names can change, and some recording methods never show up as a participant.\n\nI build [Meetful](https://meetful.com/?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=referral). The [browser directory](https://meetful.com/notetakers) includes the per-tool instructions and vendor sources for checking individual cases.\n\n*AI assistance was used to draft this article.*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/theguysaccount/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset-21dj", "published_at": "2026-11-13 12:13:49+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-13 12:22:18.896047+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Meetful", "Flic Labs"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-identify-meeting-notetakers-with-an-open-dataset.jsonld"}}
