# Ask AI

> Chat with a saved meeting and use AI for meeting follow-up work.

**Ask AI is how you keep working after the call ends.**

Instead of rereading the [transcript](/meeting-notes/transcripts-and-speakers) line by line, ask Snaply to work from the meeting context directly.

## What Ask AI Can Do

Ask AI can help you:

* **draft follow-up emails**
* **list action items**
* **summarize decisions**
* Answer questions about what happened in the meeting
* Surface open questions and unresolved topics

## How It Works

1. Open a completed meeting in the Meeting Notes workspace.
2. Click **Ask AI**.
3. Ask a question or choose a starter prompt.

Snaply keeps conversations attached to the meeting. You can start a new chat, reopen older chats, or delete chats you no longer need.

## Starter Prompts In The App

* `Draft follow-up email`
* `List action items`
* `Summarize decisions`
* `What were the open questions?`

## What Context It Uses

Ask AI uses the meeting transcript and notes, when available. That makes it useful for:

* Fast recap work
* Preparing follow-up messages
* Checking what was agreed
* Turning discussion into structured next steps

It works for live recordings and uploaded recordings after Snaply has created the meeting session.

## Privacy

Ask AI can stay local with the built-in Writing Assistant model.

If you change your model setup in [Writing Assistant models](/writing-assistant/models), Ask AI follows that same choice for meeting follow-up. If you choose a cloud model, the meeting context needed for the answer is sent to that provider.

## Model Readiness

If Ask AI or generated notes need attention, Snaply shows a recovery card in the meeting workspace instead of leaving you with a blank result.

Common fixes include downloading the local model, connecting a cloud model, adding a missing API key, or choosing another model.
