Ask Fellow

What is Ask Fellow?

Ask Fellow is an AI meeting assistant that helps you prepare, catch up mid-meeting, and draft follow-ups—building agendas and turning discussions into next steps. Its core purpose is to reduce the manual effort of preparing agendas, catching up on discussions, and completing follow-through tasks.

According to the page, Ask Fellow builds meeting preparation from prior meeting artifacts (such as pending decisions and action items), summarizes what was discussed when you join mid-meeting, and then drafts the typical outputs after the meeting—like follow-up emails, scheduled next meetings, and shared documents.

Key Features

• Agenda building from prior meetings: Ask Fellow pulls in pending decisions, open action items, and deferred topics so you can walk into the meeting with context.
• Assignee-based outstanding items: It can surface open items tied to specific owners/assignees, helping you identify what you’re responsible for before the call.
• Mid-meeting catch-up summaries: If you join late or lose the thread, it summarizes key points, decisions, and what’s happening right now.
• Unresolved questions and open topics: During the meeting, it surfaces items that still need attention so decisions and questions don’t get missed.
• Follow-up drafting in Gmail: After the meeting, it writes a follow-up email and drafts it in Gmail for your review and sending.
• Next-meeting scheduling: It can book follow-up meetings to support follow-through after the current call.
• Document and memo creation: It turns what was discussed into a polished document or memo ready to share with the team.

Use Cases

• Track what’s unresolved in the moment: During live meetings, it helps surface unresolved questions and open topics so the team can address them rather than carrying them forward unintentionally.
• Close the loop with a follow-up email: After the meeting ends, Ask Fellow drafts the follow-up email (in Gmail) for review, reducing the time spent rewriting messages.
• Turn discussion into shareable documentation: Use Ask Fellow to convert the meeting content into a document or memo that’s ready to share with the team, and schedule follow-up meetings when needed.

Alternatives

• Calendar + task management workflow (e.g., agenda from tasks): Teams can prepare agendas and track follow-ups using existing task and calendar tools. Compared with Ask Fellow, this typically relies more on manual updating of agendas and follow-up outputs.
• Meeting note-taking tools with summaries: Other tools focused on recording and summarizing meetings can help capture discussions, but may not provide the same end-to-end workflow that spans agenda creation, mid-meeting catch-up, and post-meeting follow-up drafts.
• Project management tools with meeting action tracking: Platforms that manage decisions and action items (e.g., boards or tickets) can help ensure follow-through, but they usually require users to convert meeting discussions into tasks and documents manually.
