How to ask a question about a recording

Updated 6 October 2026 · 3 min read

In shortOpen a recording and go to the Chat tab: the AI answers from the text of that recording. For general questions, use the Assistant on the home screen. Chat does not use minutes, but it has a daily cap — it is not unlimited.

How to ask

iPhone and iPad

Open a recording and go to the Chat tab.
Type a question or tap a suggestion, such as "What will be on the exam?" or "The main point, briefly".
For a question that is not about one recording, tap Assistant on the home screen. It sends recording questions to that recording's chat — the Ask about a recording button.

Android

Open a recording and go to the Chat tab.
Type a question or tap a suggestion, such as "What will be on the exam?" or "The main point, briefly".
For a question that is not about one recording, tap Assistant on the home screen. It sends recording questions to that recording's chat — the Ask about a recording button.

Web

Open a recording and go to the Chat tab.
Type a question into “Ask about the recording” or click a suggestion: for a lecture “What will be on the exam?”, for a meeting “What was decided?”, otherwise “The main point, briefly”. Answers point to moments of the recording.
The list above the chat holds the Main chat and the conversations you started with + New.
For a question that is not about one recording, click Assistant in the side panel or on the Today screen. A conversation that belongs to a recording is marked “about a recording” and has an Open the recording link.

Worth knowing

The answer is built from the text of the recording, and the AI can be wrong — check anything important against the recording itself. For a very long recording the chat does not see the whole text at once but picks passages that fit your question, so phrase the question specifically.

Limits

There is a limit on the number of messages and a daily cap on how much text is sent to the AI. If no reply arrives or you see "Too many requests", wait: the cap resets once a day. Buying minutes does not lift it. In the web version the limits read “Too many requests. Try again a little later”, “Today’s AI limit is used up — please try again later.” or “No reply came. Please try again later.”

What data the AI receives is in how AI processes your recordings.
