Debrief mode for capturing information relevant to meetings processed by a virtual meeting assistant

Abstract

In one embodiment, the interactive virtual meeting assistant implements a meeting debrief post-processing operation. For a given meeting that the interactive virtual meeting assistant participated in, a meeting post-processing engine enables one or more participants of the meeting to associate a debrief with the meeting. The debrief may be an audio recording, a video recording, text, or any file. The meeting post-processing engine stores the debrief in data stores and provides access to the debrief via the meeting GUI associated with the meeting. The meeting post-processing engine also processes the debrief to generate tasks to be assigned to participants or other entities and/or schedule reminders to be provided to the participants or other entities. The debrief may be private, such that only the participant who provided the debrief may subsequently access the debrief.

         2 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 receiving, by a virtual meeting assistant, a meeting invite from a participant of a meeting;   parsing, by the virtual meeting assistant, one or more meeting parameters from the meeting invite, the one or more meeting parameters enabling the virtual meeting assistant to join the meeting;   electronically connecting, by the virtual meeting assistant, to a meeting environment based on the one or more meeting parameters parsed from the meeting invite;   processing, by the virtual meeting assistant, speech from one or more meeting participants to generate meeting metadata;   determining, via a background process that operates during the meeting and identifies when meeting participants leave the meeting, that meeting has concluded;   subsequent to determining that the meeting has concluded, for a first participant of the one or more meeting participants:   determining that a debrief setting associated with the first participant is activated and applicable to the meeting,   electronically transmitting a link to the first participant that enables the first participant to provide a debrief, and   subsequent to the first participant accessing the link, receiving the debrief, wherein the debrief is associated with the meeting metadata.   
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , further comprising providing the debrief to a collaboration tool. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 3 , wherein the debrief is provided to the collaboration tool in a format that enables users of the collaboration tool to perform an action in association with the debrief. 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , further comprising generating a GUI associated with the meeting for presentation to the first participant, wherein the GUI comprises data associated with the debrief. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises an action item memorialized during the meeting. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises notes generated during the meeting. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a memory storage; and   a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:   receive, by a virtual meeting assistant, a meeting invite from a participant of a meeting;   parse, by the virtual meeting assistant, one or more meeting parameters from the meeting invite, the one or more meeting parameters enabling the virtual meeting assistant to join the meeting;   electronically connect, by the virtual meeting assistant, to a meeting environment based on the one or more meeting parameters parsed from the meeting invite;   process, by the virtual meeting assistant, speech from one or more meeting participants to generate meeting metadata;   determine, via a background process that operates during the meeting and identifies when meeting participants leave the meeting, that meeting has concluded;   subsequent to determining that the meeting has concluded, for a first participant of the one or more meeting participants:   determining that a debrief setting associated with the first participant is activated and applicable to the meeting,   electronically transmitting a link to the first participant that enables the first participant to provide a debrief, and   subsequent to the first participant accessing the link, receiving the debrief, wherein the debrief is associated with the meeting metadata.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the processing unit is further operative to provide the debrief to a collaboration tool. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the debrief is provided to the collaboration tool in a format that enables users of the collaboration tool to perform an action in association with the debrief. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the processing unit is further operative to generate a GUI associated with the meeting for presentation to the first participant, wherein the GUI comprises data associated with the debrief. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises an action item memorialized during the meeting. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises notes generated during the meeting. 
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
 receiving, by a virtual meeting assistant, a meeting invite from a participant of a meeting;   parsing, by the virtual meeting assistant, one or more meeting parameters from the meeting invite, the one or more meeting parameters enabling the virtual meeting assistant to join the meeting;   electronically connecting, by the virtual meeting assistant, to a meeting environment based on the one or more meeting parameters parsed from the meeting invite;   processing, by the virtual meeting assistant, speech from one or more meeting participants to generate meeting metadata;   determining, via a background process that operates during the meeting and identifies when meeting participants leave the meeting, that meeting has concluded;   subsequent to determining that the meeting has concluded, for a first participant of the one or more meeting participants:   determining that a debrief setting associated with the first participant is activated and applicable to the meeting,   electronically transmitting a link to the first participant that enables the first participant to provide a debrief, and   subsequent to the first participant accessing the link, receiving the debrief, wherein the debrief is associated with the meeting metadata.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , further comprising providing the debrief to a collaboration tool. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the debrief is provided to the collaboration tool in a format that enables users of the collaboration tool to perform an action in association with the debrief. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , further comprising generating a GUI associated with the meeting for presentation to the first participant, wherein the GUI comprises data associated with the debrief. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises an action item memorialized during the meeting. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the meeting metadata comprises notes generated during the meeting.
