ChatGPT for Mac Rolls Out Record Mode for Plus Subscribers: AI-Powered Note-Taking and Transcription for Meetings and Calls

OpenAI is rolling out Record Mode to ChatGPT Plus subscribers on macOS. This feature enables AI-powered note-taking during meetings and conference calls, recording system audio, transcribing it, and generating structured notes. Record Mode is available globally for Plus users.

OpenAI has rolled out Record Mode to ChatGPT Plus subscribers on macOS, a feature designed to enhance productivity during meetings and conference calls. This new functionality enables users to record system audio, transcribe it, and generate structured notes, including summaries, key points, and action items.

Record Mode was first announced in a post on X by OpenAI, stating that Plus users can now access the feature globally in the macOS desktop app. The feature adds a small "rec" button to the ChatGPT app, allowing users to start and stop recordings with ease. Once the recording session is over, the audio is uploaded to OpenAI’s servers, where it is transcribed and analyzed to produce structured notes.

The introduction of Record Mode follows OpenAI's previous announcements of similar features for Team, Enterprise, and Edu users. This latest rollout underscores OpenAI's commitment to expanding the capabilities of its AI-powered tools for a broader user base.

However, OpenAI has also emphasized the importance of adhering to local laws and obtaining the necessary consents before recording others. The company advises users to be mindful of privacy concerns and ensure that their use of Record Mode complies with applicable regulations.

The integration of Record Mode into ChatGPT Plus is part of a broader trend of AI-driven productivity tools gaining traction in the market. As AI continues to evolve, such features are likely to become increasingly common, offering users new ways to streamline their work and enhance their productivity.
