How to give ChatGPT access to your calls
ChatGPT can’t hear your calls. SwitchDesk can. It records them on your Mac with no bot in the meeting and writes the notes when the call ends. Share those notes, and ChatGPT can search every call, pull the action items and draft the follow-up in the same chat.
- No bot in your call
- Recorded on your Mac

Draft a follow-up to Joe from yesterday’s Lumora call.
Read Lumora kickoff · Oct 7
Hi Joe, thanks for the time yesterday. As promised, the revised proposal for the 12-seat pilot is attached…
Why give ChatGPT your calls
ChatGPT is where you already write. With your calls in reach, the follow-up email, the proposal outline and the answer to “what did they say about price?” come from what was actually said, not from memory. One sign-in also covers Codex and OpenAI dots.
What to ask ChatGPT
“Draft a follow-up email to Joe from yesterday’s Lumora call.”

Ask about a call
Start with something you can check, like “Draft a follow-up email to Joe from yesterday’s Lumora call.”
Want exact words? Tick “Include full transcripts” in the same place. SwitchDesk warns: “Other people’s exact words.” Then give ChatGPT Full control, or switch Transcripts on in Fine-tune. Summaries, action items and your own notes don’t need it.
What ChatGPT can and can’t see
| From your calls | ChatGPT |
|---|---|
| Summaries and action items | Yes, once you share your calls |
| Your own notes from the call | Yes |
| Search across every shared call | Yes |
| Full transcripts | Only with “Include full transcripts” and Full control |
| The audio | Never |
| Calls marked “Never share this call” | Never |
| Editing or deleting your notes | Never |
Every call ChatGPT makes shows up in Activity on your Mac. Revoke ends the connection at once.
Which calls work
Any call whose audio plays through your Mac: Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, in the browser or the app. SwitchDesk records your voice and theirs on separate tracks, so there’s no bot in the participant list. On Google Meet in Chrome, it also names who said what. How SwitchDesk records calls.
