Gone are the days of a vendor promising something on a call, the call ending, and the promise living in one person’s memory until it quietly disappears, unfulfilled. Nota, BRM’s Aeetings Agent, joins the call, records it, extracts the commitments, and files everything on the vendor’s Relationship, right next to the agreement it relates to.

What is Nota?

Nota brings your vendor calls into BRM. When Nota sits in on a call, you get a summary, a full transcript, and a set of signals: the pricing that was quoted, the commitments that were made, the actions someone agreed to, and the dates that were mentioned. Every signal links back to the exact moment it was said. Nota then works out which vendor the meeting was about and files it on that vendor’s Relationship page, where it sits alongside agreements, spend, and email. Your team can see it, comment on it, and check what was promised against what actually arrived. You choose what is and isn’t shared.  Meetings live in two places:
  • The Nota tab in the main navigation lists every meeting Nota has recorded for you, plus the upcoming meetings it’s scheduled to join.
  • The Nota tab on a vendor’s Relationship page shows the meetings about that vendor. Each one also appears as an event on the Relationship timeline.

Quick start: turning it on

  1. Turn Nota on. Go to My Account → Settings → Nota. Toggle on “Let Nota join my meetings.” Nota starts on and joins your external group meetings; you can add other meeting types below.
  2. Connect Nota to your calendar. Go to My Account → Settings →Nota. Connect your Google Calendar. Your upcoming meetings appear in the Nota tab under “Upcoming”.
  3. Nota joins. When a scheduled Zoom or Google Meet goes live, Nota joins and starts taking notes. If several attendees have BRM connected, only one Nota joins the call.
  4. Have a meeting you want Nota to join that Nota isn’t already on? You can add Nota as a participant in your meeting invite using nota@brm.ai.
  5. Or record a meeting by link. Not in your email? Open the Nota tab, choose Start a new meeting, and paste the link. Nota supports Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles.
  6. Tune your signals. Back in Meeting Intelligence, toggle the default signal types on or off and add your own rules (more on those below).

What you’ll see

1. The whole call, distilled

Open any recorded meeting, and you get a written summary; the full transcript with speakers and signals highlighted. Select a signal, and you jump straight to the line in the transcript where it was said, so “they agreed to waive the implementation fee” is never a matter of memory again. Updatedmeetingview

2. Signals that match your rules

Nota tracks a standard set of signal types out of the box: pricing, commitments, actions, and dates. Then you add your own Personal rules apply to your meetings. Write them in plain language, for example: Flag anything over $5,000 a month. Or, flag anything with a price ramp. From then on, Nota checks every meeting you’re in against the rule and creates a signal when it matches. Organizational rules are set by admins and super admins and run on every meeting in the organization, every time, with no exceptions. Use them for terms your company has already decided it won’t accept. When Nota hears one, it flags it in that meeting’s signals so the attendee knows straight away.

3. Filed on the Relationship, with the agreement attached

Nota identifies the primary vendor from who was on the invite and what was said. The meeting then appears in that vendor’s Nota tab and on the Relationship timeline with its summary attached. Nota also links the agreements you hold with that vendor under Related agreements, so you can go from “here’s what the rep quoted” to “here’s what we’re paying” without leaving the page.

4. Bring your team in

On the timeline event, you can leave comments and tag colleagues. “Watch the part at 14:02 before the renewal call” now lives on the meeting itself, where the rest of the team will find it.

5. Dates become events

When someone on the call mentions a date (“we’ll send the proposal on the 15th”), Nota suggests a calendar event. Choose Add to put it on your BRM calendar or Dismiss to remove it.

6. Only who should see it

Every meeting has a visibility setting:
  • Private. Only the people who were invited can see it. Attendance doesn’t matter; if you were on the invite, you have access.
  • Public. Everyone in your organization can see it.
  • Share. For a private meeting, give specific colleagues access without opening it to the whole org.
Internal meetings, where everyone on the call is from your organization, are still recorded so you can share them internally, and Nota still tags any vendors that came up. They are not attached to a vendor’s Relationship page; they stay in your Nota tab. Note: Visibility, join, and rule settings can all be changed later and take effect immediately.

Which meetings Nota joins

Every person in a meeting has their own Nota settings, and if anyone on the invite lets Nota join, Nota joins. One Nota joins for the whole meeting, regardless of however many attendees have it on. Like other meetings Agents, your settings decide what your Nota does, but they can’t turn off a teammate’s. So Nota can join a meeting you skipped, or a meeting type you’ve turned off, when a colleague on the same invite has it on. To see which upcoming meetings Nota will join, navigate to Nota → Upcoming.
To keep Nota out of a particular meeting, ask the colleague who has it on to choose to remove Nota for that meeting. You can also remove Nota from the call like any other participant.
How to decide which of your meetings Nota should join Default settings. In My Account → Settings → Nota(and during onboarding), toggle auto-join on or off for three kinds of meetings:
  • Internal 1:1s (you and one colleague)
  • Internal group meetings (three or more people, all from your company)
  • External 1:1s (you and one person from outside your company)
External group meetings are always included, and you can remove Nota from any of them in “Upcoming” while you are on your Nota screen. Per-meeting overrides. Open any meeting in Nota → Upcoming and choose Remove from this meeting to skip it, or Add Nota to bring Nota in. This overrides your default for that meeting only, so you can keep internal 1:1s off in general but have Nota sit in on the one that matters. Recurring series. Choose “Remove Nota from series” to skip every meeting in a recurring series, and it applies to every occurrence, again overriding your default. Note: If anyone on the invite has Nota connected and set to join that meeting, then Nota will join. For example, if you’ve turned internal 1:1s off but your colleague has them on, Nota still joins your 1:1 with them.

What counts as an external meeting

Nota sorts meetings by the email addresses on the invite. A meeting is external when at least one attendee has an email domain that isn’t your company’s, and internal when everyone is on your company’s domain. External meetings include your vendor calls, and also calls with customers, candidates, advisors, or anyone using a personal email address. To skip one, open it in Nota → Upcoming and choose “Remove from this meeting,” or “Remove Nota from series.”

Turn Nota on or off

Nota starts on when you set it up, so it’s ready for your next vendor call. To turn it off, go to My Account → Settings → Nota and switch off Let Nota join my meetings. Nota stops joining your meetings, including ones you’ve invited nota@brm.ai to. Your other settings are kept for when you turn it back on.
Turning Nota off covers your meetings. Nota can still join a meeting where another attendee has it on, and you can still record a single meeting yourself by pasting its link.
Where Nota finds meetings

Why this changes how you work

Before the renewal call. Open the vendor’s Relationship and the last three calls are right there, with every price and commitment pulled out. You walk in knowing exactly what was offered last time. When the invoice doesn’t match. The rep said the discount was locked in. The invoice says otherwise. Instead of asking around, you open the meeting, click the pricing signal, and read the line where they said it. You have the record.
When someone leaves. The person who ran the relationship moves on, and the conversations don’t move on with them. Every call they had with that vendor is on the Relationship for whoever picks it up.
The common thread: the days of a promise going both unfulfilled and unnoticed are over. Every commitment is recorded in one place, next to the agreement it relates to.

Frequently asked questions

Who can see a meeting? Private meetings are visible to everyone who was invited, whether or not they attended. Public meetings are visible to everyone in your organization. Use Share on a private meeting to bring in specific colleagues. A meeting was scheduled, but nobody showed up. What happens? Nota adds a timeline event noting the meeting was scheduled but not held. You can keep it and add your own notes (for example, if the conversation happened in person) or remove it from the timeline. Nota attached a meeting to the wrong vendor. Can I fix it? Nota resolves the vendor from attendee email domains and what was said. If it gets one wrong, contact support and we’ll correct it while we improve the matching. Who can set organizational rules? Admins and super admins. Does Nota join every meeting on my calendar? Only the kinds you’ve turned on. External group meetings are always joined; internal 1:1s, internal group meetings, and external 1:1s follow your settings, and you can override any single meeting or recurring series from the Nota tab. However, if anyone on the invite lets Nota join, then Nota will join the meeting. Which platforms does Nota join? Nota joins automatically from your connected Google Calendar, or from invitations in your connected inbox if no calendar is connected. It can also join Google meetings, Zoom meetings, Teams meetings, and Slack huddles via a link. Can Nota write to my Google Calendar? Not currently. Suggested events are added to your BRM calendar. Something isn’t working. Who do I contact? Please reach out to our team.  Nota joined a meeting I turned it off for. Why? Another person on the invite had Nota on. Your settings control your Nota only, and one attendee’s settings are enough for Nota to join. The meetings card in Upcoming shows when Nota will join because someone else has it on. Is Nota on by default? Yes. Nota starts on when you set it up so it’s ready for your vendor calls. Turn it off any time in My Account → Settings → Nota. Why did Nota join a call with a customer (or a candidate)? Nota treats any meeting with an attendee outside your company’s email domain as external, and external group meetings always qualify. If you want Nota to skip that meeting, click on the meeting in “Upcoming” and remove Nota. Will Nota join a meeting someone forwarded to me? Not unless you’re on the meeting’s attendee list. How do I keep Nota out of one meeting? Navigate to Nota in your sidebar and select “Upcoming” to see upcoming meetings that Nota is aware of (note, this will be a mix of meetings that Nota is set to join and others that Nota is not set to join). Click on the meeting you wish to not have Nota attend, and remove Nota from that meeting. If a colleague is also joining that meeting and their Nota is set to join, please ask them to remove Nota as well.
