Comu builds an AI meeting infographic from a transcribed recording. The visual summary sits at the top of the Summary tab, opens full screen, zooms from 50% to 200% and saves as an image. The free Starter plan includes 2 uses in the first month, then 1 per month (checked Nov 9, 2026).
If you want the steps, jump to where the visual summary appears. If you want to see how four other tools handle visual summaries, skip to the comparison of other AI note takers.
What is an AI meeting infographic in Comu?
A Comu visual summary is a one-image version of your written meeting summary. Comu takes the core points of the summary and lays them out as a modular infographic, so you can scan the whole meeting before you read any text. The design target is a 30-second overview of the meeting.
Meeting notes to infographic inside the app
The conversion from meeting notes to infographic happens inside the app. You do not copy the summary into a design tool, and you do not write a prompt. Comu's AI produces a structured version of the summary, and the app turns that structure into the graphic. The AI chooses which modules to use, so two meetings can produce two different layouts.
The written summary stays on the page, below the graphic.
How it works in brief:
- It runs in the Comu app and on shared summary links.
- It needs a transcript. A visual summary is generated for a recording that has transcribed content, and enough of it to produce a summary.
- It has a monthly allowance. Starter, the plan that comes free with the device, includes a set number of uses each month. Premium or Elite raise it. The allowance table is further down.
Where does the visual summary appear after a recording is transcribed?
The visual summary appears at the top of the Summary tab in the recording's detail screen, above the text summary.
Turn recording into infographic: the four steps
- Record the meeting. Record with Comu Action Pro or Comu Note Pro. The recording syncs to the Comu app.
- Transcribe and summarize. On Starter you start the transcript and summary yourself. With AI Note Automation, a Premium or Elite feature, transcription and summary start on their own after the recording syncs. The switch is in Me, then Preferences.
- Tap Generate Now. The generation popup has Summary Settings with Adaptive Summary and Create Template, an Analyze Notes switch, and Output Language, which is set to automatic by default.
- Open the Summary tab. The recording screen has three tabs at the top: Summary, Insights and Actions. The graphic is the first thing on Summary.
The summary screen keeps its usual generation animation. The graphic and the text appear together once both are finished, so you do not wait for the text and then wait again for the image. The graphic adds roughly 10 to 15 seconds of processing for each hour of audio, on top of the time the text summary takes.
What you see before you generate one
If you have uses left and no graphic yet, the area at the top of the summary shows a blurred placeholder with a generate button in the middle. An upgrade banner sits below it, with a counter that reads "n visual summary left" and an exclamation icon. Tap the icon and a dropdown titled "Visual summary" lists the plan allowances in one place.
If you have used your allowance, the placeholder becomes a blurred mask with a lock. Tapping the lock opens the upgrade screen, and the banner is gone.
What does the visual summary of meeting content contain?
The visual summary of meeting content has three parts from top to bottom: a title area, grouped cards, and a bottom summary bar. Comu's AI picks the modules from the structure of the summary.
| Part | Component | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Title area | Main title | A headline that states the conclusion of the meeting |
| Title area | Subtitle | One sentence that sums up the meeting |
| Grouped cards | Group heading | A label the AI writes from your content, such as core discussion items or an implementation plan |
| Grouped cards | Cards | Two to three cards side by side in each group. Each card has an icon, a title, a status tag, a key point and short bullets |
| Grouped cards | Timeline | The content shown step by step, with a one-line summary |
| Grouped cards | Table | A progress table added after the cards when a meeting covers many topics, for example five or more modules |
| Bottom summary bar | One-line conclusion | The core takeaway in one sentence, with key words highlighted |
Comu decides which of these appear. A second group of cards or a table is optional, and a meeting that covers many modules can add a progress table.
Why a graphic next to the text
The graphic gives the meeting a visual hierarchy: the conclusion first, topics grouped under headings, and a status tag on each card. Readers who need the detail keep scrolling to the text below.
How do you turn a recording into an infographic you can save and share?
You turn a recording into an infographic by generating its summary, then opening the graphic at the top of the Summary tab. From there you can enlarge it, save it as an image, regenerate it or send a share link.
View it full screen
Tap the graphic and it opens as a large image. The image zooms between 50% and 200%.
Save it as an image
Use the download button on the enlarged view. A toast tells you whether the download succeeded, is in progress or failed. The image is saved to your phone's photo album.
Regenerate it
Tap the three-dot button in the top-right corner and choose the regenerate option. Comu shows a loading animation for the layout and then replaces the graphic with a new one. On Premium, a regeneration uses one of your 30 monthly visual summaries.
Rate it
A thumbs-up and thumbs-down sit under the graphic. Thumbs-up shows a toast. Thumbs-down opens a feedback form with four reasons to pick from: Poor visual hierarchy, Confused Layout, Too much content and Key information missing.
Share it with a link
Comu shares a summary as an H5 link. In the share dialog, choose Summary. The shared page shows the visual summary under the Summary label, and it fits both phone and computer screens.
People who open the link can:
- tap the graphic to enlarge it,
- drag with two fingers and zoom in proportion,
- tap the save button in the top-right corner to save it to their photo album,
- tap the back arrow in the top-left corner to return to the page.
A share link is valid for 7 days by default and shows a snapshot of the content at the moment you created it. If you edit the recording afterward, create a new link.
What the Copy button does
The Copy button copies the summary text. A note under the button reads "Copying does not include images". To pass on the graphic, save it as an image or send a share link.
How many visual summaries does each Comu plan include?
Starter includes 2 visual summaries in the first month and 1 per month after that. Premium includes 30 per month, and Elite includes unlimited visual summaries. The count resets on the 1st of each month.
| Starter (free with the device) | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual summaries | 2 in the first month, then 1 per month | 30 per month | Unlimited |
| Automatic generation | Locked | Off until you turn it on | On by default |
| Price | Free with Comu Note Pro or Comu Action Pro | $14.99 a month or $119.99 billed yearly | $39.99 a month or $359.99 billed yearly |
Premium and Elite prices are US list prices as of Oct 26, 2026. You buy a subscription inside the Comu app through the App Store or Google Play. The website does not sell subscriptions.
How uses are counted
- A successful generation uses one. That means a recording with transcribed content that is enough to produce a summary.
- The first month is counted from the day you download or update to the version with the feature.
- The count applies to both kinds of summary. Whether you generate a basic summary or a Deep Dive Suite summary, the same visual summary allowance applies.
- Premium regenerations count. Each regeneration uses one of the 30.
Automatic generation, Premium or Elite
Visual Summary Automation is a separate switch under Me, then Preferences, below AI Note Automation. On Elite it starts on. On Premium it starts off. On Starter it shows a lock, and tapping it opens the upgrade screen with the title "Unlock Visual Summary".
On Premium, the second time you tap Generate on a visual summary with automation off, a bottom sheet appears. The title is "Enable automatic visual summary". The message reads: once enabled, your next visual summary will be generated automatically after the text summary, with no manual action required. The buttons are Enable Now and Not Now. Either way, the visual summary you just asked for is generated.
The two automation switches combine like this:
| AI Note Automation | Visual Summary Automation | What happens after a recording syncs |
|---|---|---|
| On | On | Transcript, text summary and graphic are produced automatically and appear together |
| On | Off | Transcript and text summary are produced automatically. You tap to generate the graphic |
| Off | On | You tap to start the summary. The text and the graphic appear together once you do |
| Off | Off | You tap to start the summary, then tap again to generate the graphic |
How do you get a better AI summary infographic from your recording?
Three recording habits to try: record the whole meeting, take one topic at a time and say the conclusions out loud.
Record the whole discussion
A visual summary is generated only when the transcript has enough content to support a summary. A clip of a few sentences may not reach that point, and a recording without a transcript cannot produce one. Record the full meeting, and wait for the transcript before you tap Generate.
The actual performance of transcription, speaker identification and AI content is affected by recording distance, environmental noise, speaking style, network and language.
Move through topics one at a time
Comu writes the group headings from your content and puts two to three cards in each group. When a meeting covers many topics, it can add a table. Finishing one topic before starting the next keeps the recording in a clear order. In a weekly meeting, reading the agenda aloud at the start gives the recording an outline.
Say the conclusions out loud
Each card has a status tag and a key point, and the bottom bar has a one-line conclusion. Saying decisions and open questions out loud puts them in the transcript.
Speaker labels
Comu identifies and labels the different speakers in a recording automatically. Speaker identification is a software feature of the app and works with both devices.
To see how speaker labels work, read how to choose a voice recorder with speaker identification.
Add your own notes
The Analyze Notes switch in the generation popup lets the summary use the notes you wrote for the recording. Comu can combine audio, images, documents and your notes in one summary.
Set the output language
Output Language in the popup is set to automatic by default. Comu transcribes and summarizes in 113 languages.
Regenerate and tell Comu what is wrong
If the layout does not suit the meeting, regenerate to get a new graphic. If the result is off, use thumbs-down and pick one of the four reasons.
When is the written summary the better choice?
The written summary is the better choice when you need to edit or copy text, or when the recording is too short for a graphic.
| If you want to | Use |
|---|---|
| Get the shape of the meeting in a glance | The visual summary |
| Send something to a person who missed the meeting | The visual summary, saved as an image or shared as a link |
| Paste the summary into an email or a document | The written summary. The Copy button copies text and leaves out images |
| Edit the wording | The written summary. Summary content can be edited |
| Pull out tasks, owners and deadlines | The Actions tab, which extracts to-dos, owners, decisions and deadlines from the recording |
| Summarize a very short recording | The written summary, since a graphic needs enough transcribed content |
| Keep going after your monthly visual allowance is used | The written summary. Basic summaries are unlimited on every plan |
How do other AI note takers handle visual summaries?
Plaud, Notta, Tagalong and Noda each generate an infographic from meeting content, and Comu generates its graphic together with the summary at the top of the Summary tab (checked Nov 9, 2026).
| Tool | How you create the infographic | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Comu | Generated with the summary, at the top of the Summary tab | Full screen view, saved to the photo album, or shared as a link |
| Plaud | Tap Generate an infographic in Ask Plaud, on the Notes tab of a recording that has Notes | Save to your device or share from the result page |
| Notta | Ask Notta Brain for a summary infographic in a meeting record on Notta Web or the mobile app | Preview, then download or save to your phone |
| Tagalong | Use the Visual Note card, a Pro feature | Saved to the meeting folder on your Mac |
| Noda | One tap on a meeting | Shareable infographic |
Plaud's Ask Plaud turns meeting notes into an infographic of key points, decisions and action items. The feature is open to all Plaud users with a recording that has Notes generated. You can generate up to 10 infographics a day, and the limit resets at midnight UTC.
Notta Brain can generate images, including structured infographics with the meeting background, key conclusions and action items. The feature is available on all Notta plans and roles, on Notta Web and the mobile app.
Tagalong's Visual Note card produces a sketchnote-style image of a meeting in 4K. It offers styles such as Sketchnote, Corporate Clean, Whiteboard, Dark Dashboard, Minimal, Light Dashboard and Notebook, and four aspect ratios from 16:9 to 9:16. Every visual note also lands in a Visual Notes gallery.
Noda turns a meeting into an infographic with stat cards, charts and key takeaways in one tap. It also makes a two-host podcast and a video from the same meeting.
In Comu, the recording, transcript, text summary and graphic are in the same app.
Which Comu device records the meeting?
Either Comu device records the meeting. Comu Action Pro costs $179.99 (checked Nov 9, 2026) at store.comu.com, and Comu Note Pro costs $128.99 at its product page. The free Starter plan comes with the device, so the first visual summaries need no subscription.
