What is ARTU?
ARTU is an AI-powered virtual meeting assistant and creative chaos organizer that streamlines virtual meetings by generating AI-powered summaries sent straight to your inbox. The tool acts as a meeting's personal scribe, providing complete and automatic meeting minutes including summaries, next steps, key topics, and participant details. It works through a Chrome extension that you install from the Chrome Web Store, then open the ARTU icon in your browser toolbar to activate listening mode for all your meetings.
The tool features a precise context system finely tuned for accuracy, allowing users to share information about themselves and their meetings for significantly more accurate transcription summaries. ARTU operates in automatic mode with listening mode activated in all meetings, processing minutes at the end of each call and sending notifications about any meeting that hasn't been processed. It includes a mini/minimize mode designed to maximize screen space during large meetings, five customizable color options for a retro aesthetic, and integrations with Slack, Discord, Notion, and Google Drive to send summaries directly to private channels.
ARTU also functions as an AI Copilot for organizing creative chaos, letting users forward emails, send WhatsApp messages, share links, assign tasks, and connect via Telegram. It processes ideas, tasks, videos, links, and social media posts, then summarizes, prioritizes, tags, and organizes them in your favorite workspace like Notion. The security-focused tool doesn't store transcriptions, only processes meetings when requested, uses encrypted connections, and adheres to industry security standards. They offer self-hosted and desktop options for maximum company data privacy.
This tool is ideal for professionals who attend multiple virtual meetings (sales, marketing, admin, management, innovation, communications teams), creative builders, founders, and companies needing meeting documentation. It supports Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings, delivering minutes directly to email automatically at the end of each meeting.
