Guides
Practical guides on summarizing meetings, audio, YouTube, and PDFs with AI — and getting clean notes with action items without writing them.
These guides show how to turn the things that eat your day — meetings, calls, lectures, long YouTube videos, and PDFs — into short, structured notes you can actually use. Each guide answers one question directly, then shows the exact steps, the common mistakes, and what a good result looks like.
They are written for people who would rather listen than type: founders and consultants in back-to-back meetings, sales teams on the road, students in 90-minute lectures, and anyone learning from video. Every guide is available in English and Czech.

How to Write Meeting Minutes (Template + AI Shortcut)
What meeting minutes should include, a simple template, and how AI drafts them for you — decisions and action items with owners and deadlines.
Transcript, summary, or minutes: which do you need?
A transcript is every word — useful when you need an exact quote. A summary is the structure: key points, decisions, and action items, useful when you need to act. Minutes are the formal record a team agrees on: who attended, what was decided, and who owns each task.
Most people need the summary first and the transcript only occasionally, which is why a good AI note app keeps both side by side. If your team needs formal minutes, the summary is the fastest first draft.
How do AI notes work?
An AI note app records or imports the audio, transcribes it, and uses a language model to pull out structure: headings, key points, decisions, and to-dos with owners. For YouTube it works from the link; for PDFs it reads the document text.
Quality depends mostly on the input. Clear audio with the phone close to the speakers, and text-based PDFs rather than image-only scans, give the best results — so each guide includes practical tips on getting a clean source.
About Soliqo
Soliqo is the mobile app these guides are built around. It turns meetings, calls, lectures, YouTube videos, and PDFs into clean notes with action items, works in 70+ languages, and can return the summary in a different language than the source. It runs on iPhone and Android, with a free trial and then a weekly or annual subscription.
The guides stay honest about limits: where a free tool or a simpler workflow is enough, they say so.
