AI Minutes Editor, Knowledge Base Sections & Bot Reliability
Highlight any section of your minutes and prompt the AI to rewrite it — referencing the board pack, adjusting to template language, or expanding on key points. Knowledge bases now have structured sections so the AI knows exactly which document to prioritise. Plus: smarter shared room detection, faster bot exit, and cleaner Word exports.
NEW FEATURES
AI Minutes Editor
Why we updated this
After generating the draft minutes, making edits was entirely manual.
How it works now
In the minutes editor, highlight any section and prompt the AI to make changes. For example: "Expand this section, referencing the board pack" or "Rewrite to match the template language." The AI has access to the full transcript, board pack, and template.
What to do
Open the minutes editor after generating minutes. Highlight the section you want edited. A toolbar pops up automatically. Click the AI stars button, type your prompt, and the AI will regenerate the section.
Knowledge Base Sections
Why we updated this
All documents uploaded to a knowledge base were stored in one flat list. The AI had to go into each document to distinguish between the current board pack, a glossary of terms, or last quarter's minutes.
How it works now
Knowledge bases now have structured sections: Current Board Pack, Entity Information (glossaries, reference docs), Previous Minutes, and Previous Board Packs. The AI agent uses these categories to prioritise which documents to reference.
What to do
Next time you upload documents, you'll see the new sections. Drag and drop files into the appropriate section. Existing documents need to be moved manually. We recommend doing this before your next meeting cycle.
IMPROVEMENTS
Shared Audio Device Detection & Flag
Why we updated this
When someone joined a Teams meeting from their own profile but was physically in a shared meeting room, it sometimes reduced the accuracy of speaker recognition and mappings for that audio channel.
How it works now
We've improved the automatic detection of shared audio devices. We've also added an optional flag: at the start of a transcription, the Starlight user sees a prompt to indicate which participants are on a shared device. Flagging a channel as shared increases the sensitivity of the speaker recognition engine.
What to do
Optional. When starting a transcription, you'll see a prompt asking which participants are on shared devices. Selecting them takes a second and improves accuracy. If you skip it, the system still works with the improved automatic detection.
FIXES
Meeting Bot Exit Behaviour
Why we updated this
The Starlight Teams bot was sometimes staying in the Teams meeting for up to an hour after the meeting had ended. This was visible to attendees and caused confusion.
How it works now
A new monitoring service tracks the live status of each call. When the meeting ends, the bot exits promptly. This service also now tracks the actual duration, participant count, and observed speakers.
What to do
No action needed. The fix is live and automatic.
Word Export Formatting
Why we updated this
Exported Word documents had formatting issues that required manual cleanup — double horizontal rules and incorrect justified text.
How it works now
Horizontal rules now map directly to the style defined in your DOCX template's styles pane. Justified text is applied correctly throughout. The exported document matches your template much more closely out of the box.
What to do
Make sure the latest version of your template is uploaded to the correct agent. No other changes needed.
