Outlook Calendar (v3.14)
Connect your Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com calendar, next to the existing Google Calendar option.
- Meeting reminders:the desktop and mobile apps remind you when a meeting starts. You can also connect from the web app.
- Meeting context:the meeting title, attendees, time and Teams link come into the session as context, including sessions you start from a reminder.
- Where:Settings → Automation & Data → Connect Outlook Calendar.
- Work accounts:if your organisation requires an administrator to approve apps, Hedy shows what to send them, with a link you can copy.
One calendar can be connected at a time. Outlook doesn't share the invite's description, so there is no agenda from Outlook invites.

Meeting Over? Reminders (v3.14)
Hedy now asks "Meeting over?" when a running session looks finished, so it doesn't keep going after the call.
- Meeting app closed (Mac and Windows):a meeting app such as Zoom or Teams released your microphone and things stayed quiet.
- Calendar event ended:the meeting linked to the session is over and nobody has spoken for 3 minutes.
- Long silence:no new speech for 15 minutes.
Tap
Keep going
to carry on, or end the session from the prompt. On iPhone and Android you also get a notification when Hedy is in the background. Hedy never ends a session on its own. The reminders are on by default; turn them off in Settings → Sessions under Meeting-end reminders.new

Topic Suggestions (v3.14)
Hedy now helps keep your sessions organised in topics.
- Suggestions after the recap:when a session without a topic finishes, Hedy may suggest one of your topics. Tap "Add to topic", choose another, or dismiss it.
- Recurring meetings file themselves:a session started from a recurring calendar meeting goes into the topic the earlier sessions of that meeting are in.
- Catch up earlier sessions:when you file a session from a recurring meeting by hand, Hedy offers to move the earlier unfiled sessions of that meeting too.
- Faster new topics:"Create new topic" fills in the name from the meeting or session title.
Suggestions use your own topics only, and Hedy only suggests when a session clearly fits one. Suggestions and automatic filing happen in the desktop and mobile apps; the web app shows suggestions made there.

Get Started With a Chat (v3.14)
New accounts now set up Hedy in a short chat instead of a form. Hedy asks a few questions about your meetings and what you need help with, shows a short summary of what it will remember for you to confirm or change, and saves it as your personal context.
- Share only what you're comfortable with; you can skip at any point.
- You can change or remove what Hedy remembers in Settings → Personalization.
- At the end Hedy explains what the Free plan includes and what Pro adds.
- You can then start a 14-day free Pro trial, or carry on with Free. On iPhone and Android the trial runs through your App Store or Google Play account; on Mac, Windows and the web Hedy links you to the trial checkout. We email you a reminder before the trial ends.

- Connected on another device?The card offers to turn on meeting reminders on this device (phone and desktop apps).
- Not interested?Dismiss it. You can connect any time in Settings → Automation & Data.

Easier to Use Session Contexts (v3.14)
Session contexts in Settings → Personalization → Session AI Context & Instructions have an improved design that matches the session type list.
- Each context shows its title and a two-line preview, with star, edit and delete buttons.
- One tap on the starmakes a context the default for new sessions. The change applies to your next session and follows you to your other devices.
- The editor has labels above each field, a character counter and a "Use for new sessions" switch.
- Deleting your default context leaves you with no default, instead of picking another one for you.

More Reliable Sessions and Sync (v3.14)
- Importing a file and completing a session's processing keep going on networks that block parts of Hedy's cloud service.
- Transcript edits you make while speaker labels are still being worked out are kept, and exports use the speaker names you set.
- Session audio is handled more carefully around pauses, recoveries and deletes.
- Chat stays where you are reading while a longer answer streams in.
- Sharing a session that has no transcript yet tells you why.
- Session dates can go back to 2010, for older audio you import.
- On Windows, turning "Use Windows default communication device" on or off during a live session takes effect right away, and if system audio can't start, the session keeps capturing your microphone.

Create Your Own Session Types (v3.13)
Describe a kind of meeting in plain words, and Hedy sets up a session type built for it.
- What you get:a name and icon, an outline for your detailed notes, and quick prompts that fit the meeting. Your description also shapes the summary and how chat answers.
- How to create one:Settings → Personalization → Custom session types, or straight from the session picker when you start a session. Hedy shows a preview you can adjust before saving.
- Example:"Weekly 1:1s with my direct reports. I want to track commitments, blockers and how each person is doing."
- Also works for imports:pick your custom type when you import audio, video or a transcript.
- Good to know:creating custom session types needs Pro.

Speaker Labels for Whisper Sessions and Imports (v3.13)
Sessions captured with the Whisper speech engine now get speaker labels, worked out on your device after the session ends.
- Imports too:audio and video files you import with Whisper get speaker labels as well.
- Nothing to switch on:it uses Hedy's Temporary audio cache (Settings → Privacy & System), which is on by default, or your saved session audio.
- Good to know:on Android it needs a 64-bit device. If labels can't be worked out for a session, Hedy says so on the session and keeps the full transcript.
