Release Notes
Introducing Magic Minutes Templates. Your Minutes Just Got a Little More Magic.
Every meeting has a different purpose. Sales calls drive customer discovery. Engineering standups drive action items. All Hands drive team alignment. So why should they all have a standardized summary format? Introducing Magic Minutes Templates: now you can customize the structure, tone, and content to tailor output of Magic Minutes based on the meeting type, so your summaries match the intended outcome.
Create templates for meeting types such as:
Sales Meetings (Pipeline, Objections, Next Steps)
All Hands (Announcements, Metrics, Decisions)
Standups (Blockers, Progress, Deployments)
Customer Calls (Health, Risks, Expansion Signals)
Board Meetings (KPIs, Decisions, Strategic Risks)
Or create your own fully customized templates! Create a template in Settings > Meeting Templates or choose from one of the example templates.
Then apply the template to a meeting in Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar or to a Lobby link. You can even apply a template after the meeting is over to update the summary to get exactly what you want. With Magic Minutes Templates, summaries don’t just recap, they drive work forward.

Introducing the Roam Developer Channel
Join our new Developer Channel with Rob, who leads Developer Experience at Roam. We’re working on making Roam more programmable, currently focused on the following:
A remote MCP server, supporting ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and others.
Personal API tokens so you can hook up OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot), n8n, Zapier, or your own tools.
Webhook relays, allowing you to easily pipe notifications from other systems into Roam chat.
Expanding/refining the API and other integrations: OpenClaw skills, Gong video uploads and chat notifications, an automation plugin for Make, and more…
If you’re interested in staying in the loop on our developer roadmap (including for launch announcements on the items above), subscribe to our Developer Channel in Settings > Developer. It’s low-volume, and we’d love to hear your input on what we’re building.
