Meeting Context via Glean

When users need information from meetings - past discussions, decisions, action items, or transcripts - use Glean's meeting lookup.

Tool Naming

See the glean-tools-guide skill for Glean MCP tool naming conventions. Tools follow the pattern mcp__glean_[server-name]__[tool] where the server name is dynamic. Use whatever Glean server is available in your tool list.

When This Applies

Use this approach when users ask:

• "What was decided in the [topic] meeting?"
• "What action items came out of [meeting]?"
• "When did we discuss [topic]?"
• "What meetings did I miss [time period]?"
• "Who attended [meeting]?"
• "What was said about [topic] in recent meetings?"

Primary Tool

Use the Glean meeting_lookup tool with natural language queries.

Query Syntax

Important: meeting_lookup works best with natural language queries. Date filter syntax does NOT work reliably.

# By topic and time (natural language)
meeting_lookup "quarterly planning last week"

# With specific participants
meeting_lookup "standup with John Smith"
meeting_lookup "participants:\"John Smith\" topic:\"standup\""

# Get transcript content
meeting_lookup "team sync last week extract_transcript:\"true\""

# Today's meetings
meeting_lookup "my meetings today"

# Past week
meeting_lookup "meetings past week"

Date Filtering

Use natural language for dates:

• "last week", "past 2 weeks", "yesterday", "today", "tomorrow"
• "meetings since Monday", "standups this month"

Inline date filters do NOT work reliably:

• after:now-1w - Date math is ignored
• after:YYYY-MM-DD - ISO dates return no results
• after:yesterday - Simple keywords don't work as filter values

Filters that do work:

• participants:"name" - Filter by attendees
• topic:"subject" - Filter by meeting topic
• extract_transcript:"true" - Include transcript content

When to Extract Transcripts

Add extract_transcript:"true" when you need:

• Specific quotes or statements
• Detailed discussion content
• Action item context
• Decision rationale

Skip transcripts for:

• Just listing meetings
• Checking attendees
• Quick time/date lookup

What to Extract from Meetings

When analyzing meeting content, focus on:

1. Decisions made - What was agreed? By whom?
2. Action items - Tasks assigned, owners, deadlines
3. Open questions - Unresolved items
4. Key discussion points - Important debates or context

Relationship to Commands

For comprehensive meeting workflows, suggest:

• /glean-meetings:meeting-prep <meeting> - Prepare for an upcoming meeting
• /glean-meetings:catch-up <period> - Catch up on missed meetings and more
