The live meeting view

This article covers the Curvo desktop app, Companion. To review a finished meeting in the web app, see The Meetings page.
The live meeting view is the Curvo window you work in during a call. It holds your notes, your chat with Curvo, a row of panels for the call, and the recording controls. It opens when you open a meeting or start recording. See Meetings in Companion.
Recording controls
These sit at the right of the meeting header while you record:
Control | What it does |
|---|---|
Voice bars | Move while Curvo is listening. Hover over them to see Talk time for each speaker |
Timer | Shows how long the recording has run |
Pause meeting | Pauses the recording. The button then becomes Resume meeting |
Stop meeting | Ends the recording |
After you stop, the Notes tab becomes Summary and Curvo generates a summary in the same place. It marks lines it recognises from your notes. Click Open in Curvo to see the meeting in the web app.
Back to your meetings (the back arrow) leaves the recording running, and a small pill with the meeting's name brings you back. Minimising the window shrinks it to a pill.
To keep this window above your other apps, turn on Keep cafe on top under Settings, Meeting. "Cafe" in that label means this window.
Notes and Chat
Click Notes to type during the call. The editor understands # Heading, - List, 1. Numbered, > Quote and --- Divider.
Click Chat to read Curvo's answers. Starting to type in the box at the bottom also opens it. Each answer has Add to notes.
Panel chips
A row of chips under the header opens each panel. It's there on every view except Chat, and the Agents tab in the header takes you to these panels from Notes.
Chip | What it shows | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
Meeting Brief | Research on the meeting, including Who's on the call | Only when the meeting has a brief. See Prepare for a meeting |
Discovery Questions | Your company's questions, in groups. Curvo checks them off live, and you can click one to mark it asked | Set up in the web app under Settings, Discovery Questions |
Your framework | Named after the framework your company uses, such as MEDDPICC or BANT. Click a part of the framework to see its questions, with Score, Weight and Evidence | Fills in once the call starts. An Earlier call tag marks an answer carried over from a previous call. Use Pop out into its own widget to float it |
Transcript | Each line with the speaker's initials, name and time | Keeps to the newest line unless you scroll up |
Recipes
Recipes are one-click requests to Curvo that work from the transcript so far. Click in Ask Curvo anything… to show them, or type @.
Recipe | What it does |
|---|---|
Next best question | Suggests the best question to ask next |
Define this | Explains the term just mentioned |
TL;DR | Gives a short summary of the call |
What did I miss | Recaps anything you missed |
Risks & concerns | Lists risks and concerns raised |
List todos | Lists action items captured so far |
Draft an email | Drafts a follow-up email |
Beside them, the Ask Curvo pill answers the other person's latest question or objection. It only works while you're recording. Curvo runs one of these at a time.
Manage opens your own recipes. You can create Personal ones, and only an admin can share a recipe with everyone at your company as Company. See Ask Curvo in Companion.
Widgets
Widgets are separate floating windows, and all of them are off until you choose them. Click the Widgets grid icon at the end of the chip row (at the top of the window when you're in Chat), then tick the ones you want. They only show during a meeting.
Widget | What it shows | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
Live | Nudges and playbook topics during the call | See the next section |
Discovery Questions | The same questions in a window of their own, headed "Questions buckets" | None |
Transcript | The live transcript, with a Search transcript box | Companion recording mode only |
Speech Stats | Speaking speed as WPM, and Talk share | Companion recording mode only |
Nudges and playbook topics
Available on selected workspaces.
The Live widget shows nudges, and pills for playbook topics that came up on the call. Click a pill to read its saved answer. With the widget focused, you can press ⌘1, ⌘2 or ⌘3 on a Mac, or Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 or Ctrl+3 on Windows.
The RTN Mode switch under Settings, Meeting turns the same widget on and off. The app describes it as "Enable real-time meeting assistance with floating widgets". Topics live under Library in the sidebar.
Stealth, Settings and Need help
These three sit at the foot of the window:
Stealth hides every Curvo window from screen shares and recordings. Stealth mode under Settings, Meeting is the same switch.
Settings opens the app's settings.
Need help opens a chat with Curvo support, or an email if the chat can't load.
