Brainstorm records a conversation: a meeting, a planning session, or thinking out loud. Janet listens live. As you talk, Janet builds a running capture of the insights, decisions, and actions that matter. When you stop, it saves a notes document and proposes tickets for you to review. Brainstorm is part of Janet Agent: each brainstorm is a chat session you can keep talking to.

​
Start a brainstorm

Janet Agent home

On the Janet Agent home page, click Record a meeting in the composer toolbar to start a new brainstorm session.

Sidebar

Find past brainstorms under the Brainstorm tab in the sessions list, or start a fresh one with New.
New sessions are titled Brainstorm {date} by default, which you can edit.

​
While you record

As you speak, Janet transcribes the conversation and shows What Janet’s capturing: a live timeline of moments grouped into Insights, Decisions, and Actions. The raw transcript stays hidden; the timeline is the live view. You can:
  • Ask Janet while you record: type in the composer to ask questions or give direction without interrupting the recording.
  • Pause and Resume: pause to review what was captured or to ask Janet to fix something, then resume.
  • Discard: throw away the session.
  • Stop & save: finish and generate your notes and proposals.
Ticket proposals are prepared in the background while you record but are only presented for review after you stop and save.
Brainstorm needs microphone access. If your browser blocks the mic, allow it for the site and reload. When a session records raw audio (used for speaker attribution), Janet shows a reminder that everyone present should agree to be recorded. For the best transcription with speaker labels, Brainstorm uses live streaming transcription. If that isn’t available, it falls back to your browser’s built-in speech recognition (Chrome or Edge).

What you get when you save

When you stop and save, Janet produces: After saving, Janet starts a review in the chat (Let’s confirm what I captured) so you can walk through the notes and proposals together and ask follow-up questions.
