Banter docs
New to Banter? The quick start takes you from zero to a captured, transcribed conversation in about two minutes. After that: Capture has a recipe for every place your meetings happen, Connect your AI covers using Claude or Codex with your workspace, and when something didn't record right, go straight to troubleshooting.
Getting started
- Quick start Capture your first conversation and see what Banter does with it — right in the browser, nothing to install.
- Choose your setup The web app needs no install. Add the extension, desktop app, or iOS app when your meetings call for them.
- Import your notes Move your existing notes into Banter as markdown — with an AI agent doing the filing.
Capture
- Record Google Meet Capture Meet calls from your side of the browser — no bot joins, and speaker labels still work.
- Record Zoom Capture a Zoom tab directly, or the native Zoom app by sharing your screen's audio — both from the web app.
- Record Microsoft Teams Capture a Teams tab directly, or the native Teams client by sharing your screen's audio — both from the web app.
- In person and on the go Capture room conversations, customer visits, and travel-day thoughts from whatever device is in your pocket.
- Dictation When it's just you talking, dictate — text lands at your cursor and no audio is kept.
- Screenshots Attach what was on screen to the moment it happened — one shortcut, cropped to the shared content.
- Recording troubleshooting The captures that go wrong, why, and the fix for each.
Notes & workspace
- Editor basics Slash commands, markdown shortcuts, links between notes, and the keyboard shortcuts worth learning.
- Folders and naming A few folders, two or three levels, and note titles you'd search for — structure that humans and AI can both navigate.
- Tasks and todos Checkboxes in notes become a workspace-wide task system — four states, due dates, and a weekly planner.
- Transcripts and speaker labels What happens after you stop recording — and how Banter knows who said what without a bot in the call.
AI assistant
- The assistant An AI that works inside your workspace — it searches, cites, drafts, and edits notes, not just chats about them.
- Workspace instructions A short file of rules that every AI touching your workspace reads first — who you are, how you work, where things go.
- Prompts that work The difference between vague and specific asks, and the patterns that get real work out of the assistant.
Connect your AI
- Connect your AI (MCP setup) Point Claude, Codex, Gemini, or any MCP client at your Banter workspace — your AI, your subscription, your notes.
- What connected agents can do What your AI sees and can change once it's connected — in plain terms, with the guardrails explained.
- MCP recipes The workflows a connected AI unlocks — bulk import, workspace cleanup, and making your AI's work land in Banter instead of dying in a chat.
