# AI Minutes summary

> AI Minutes summary auto-extracts meeting recordings or transcripts from DingTalk AI Minutes and generates an intelligent summary.

## Overview

**AI Minutes summary** auto-extracts meeting recordings or transcripts from **DingTalk AI Minutes** and generates an intelligent summary.

Use it for meeting notes, interview transcripts, etc. — drop in a share link, and AI condenses an hour-long meeting into a few hundred words of takeaways.

### Add a field

In a grid view, add a new field to enable this:

1. Click + on the right of the header.
2. Under **AI fields** in the dropdown, pick **AI Minutes summary**.

### Configuration

After adding the field, a configuration dialog appears — set the link source.

* **Field name**: the column title, e.g. "Meeting summary" or "Key takeaways".
* **Pick a Minutes link field**: pick an existing URL field in the table (or create one). It will hold the AI Minutes share link.
* **Auto-update**: when on, the summary regenerates whenever the source link changes (or its underlying Minutes content updates).

> Note: the source must be an official **DingTalk AI Minutes** share link — other platforms aren't supported.

### Get the link

To let AI read the content, get the right share link:

1. Open **DingTalk AI Minutes**.
2. Open the specific minutes record.
3. Tap the share button in the upper-right — pick **Copy link**.
4. Paste into the source field in AI Table — AI runs automatically.

If summarization isn't enough — for example, you need to extract specific items (todos, names, dates) — try [AI Minutes extraction](/aitable/fields/field-types/ai-meeting-extract) instead.

### FAQ

* Q: Why does my pasted link show "Cannot recognize"?

  A: Confirm it's a **DingTalk AI Minutes** share link. Doc, drive, or third-party meeting links aren't supported.
* Q: Can AI summarize a very long recording?

  A: Yes. AI analyzes the full transcript and pulls key info. For extremely long recordings (over 5 hours), split them in Minutes first.
* Q: I don't have access to that Minutes link — can AI still summarize?

  A: No. The user operating the table must have access to the AI Minutes link.
* Q: What does "Allow source field to be empty" mean?

  A: When on, if the source cell has no link, the AI field stays blank instead of erroring.
