    • File transcription shows actual audio time if timestamps are available.
  • Highlight badge when a segment is marked.
  • Translation line in italic if translation is enabled and available.
  • A star icon appears on hover to mark or unmark a highlight.

If no transcript exists:

Summary side panel

When a summary is generated, a right-side panel can slide in.

Panel header:

  • Title
  • Close button
  • Session date and duration

Panel sections:

  • Summary
  • Key Topics
  • Decisions
  • Action Items

These sections are designed so the agent and your team can quickly reuse outcomes, not just read raw transcript text.

If the panel is closed and a summary exists, a floating wand button appears on the right. Click it to reopen the panel.
