Kaia AI Summaries: the call recap nobody had to write
You tell Kaia what you want to know about every call. Kaia answers it, saves it with the recording, and drops it in Slack. The rep goes to their next meeting instead of typing notes.

What it actually does
A summary template is a short list of questions. "What problem are they trying to solve?" "Who else needs to sign off?" "What did we promise to send?" After each recorded meeting, Kaia reads the conversation and answers those questions, either as a paragraph or as bullets.
Admins can build templates the whole company uses, and anyone can build personal ones. So the same call can produce a sales recap for the rep, a handoff note for customer success, and a feedback digest for the product team.
Who it's for
Reps who hate writing notes, managers who want consistent call records, and anyone who receives a handoff.
Why it matters
Every audience gets the notes it needs from every call, and no one has to write them up.
How it’s grown so far this year
FEB
Fully launched. Custom templates for orgs and individuals, plus call recaps posted to Slack with a link back to the recording.
APR
Account Slack channels. Recaps can go to a Slack channel set up for a specific account, so the whole account team sees them.
MAY
One company default. Admins pick a single template as the standard for recording pages, post-meeting emails, shared links and data synced to other systems.
How to set it up
Build a template
Go to Agents & AI › AI Summaries › New AI Summary. Give it a name, choose who can see it, and add one question per section. Pick paragraph or bullet format, preview it, and save.
Set the company default (admins)
Go to Administration › Tools › Kaia › General › Default summary and choose the template everyone should get.
Switch templates on a recording
Open a recording and go to its Summary tab. You can pick a different template there, or create a new one on the spot.
Send recaps to Slack
An admin connects Slack to Outreach and matches Slack users to Outreach users. Then each person turns on the Kaia Meeting Summary notification under Personal Settings › General › Notifications.
We'll build your summary templates and wire up Slack.
