The default summary is in a good shape for most meetings.

But some meetings have a specific job to do. A 1:1 is about people, energy, and what's not being said. A sales call is about objections, signals, and the specific number on the table at the end. A clinical session needs structure that has nothing in common with either.

Templates are how you tell Weeve which kind of meeting you just had.

How they work

When you open a recording, you can apply a template before, during, or after. The template is a short instruction set that shapes the summary, the highlights, and what shows up in your Brief. We ship a small starting library covering 1:1s, sales discovery, sales follow-up, customer interviews, board updates, hiring interviews, and clinical notes. You can edit any of them. You can write your own.

A template is not a prompt sitting in a settings panel. It controls what the summary tries to extract, what gets pinned at the top, and what flows through to your To Do and Decisions surfaces.

What we learned in testing

Two things surprised us.

The first was how often people wanted a template per relationship rather than per category. Three of our early users wrote a custom template for a single recurring counterpart, because what they cared about with that person was specific and non-portable.

The second was how much restraint matters. Templates that asked the model to extract too many things produced summaries that felt thinner, not richer. The best ones we've seen are short and opinionated. Five things to look for. Three to ignore. Done.
