Overview

  • The recent launch follows a June introduction of Record Mode for Team, Enterprise and Education users on macOS.
  • Record Mode listens locally to system and microphone audio without joining calls, making it compatible with any conferencing platform.
  • After each session, the app uploads recordings to OpenAI’s servers to generate structured summaries, key points, action items and follow-up questions.
  • Each session is limited to 120 minutes and the original audio is automatically deleted once transcription is complete.
  • The feature remains exclusive to the macOS desktop app and requires both a ChatGPT Plus subscription and user consent to comply with local recording laws.
