How to Use the Fellow ChatGPT Plugin to Search and Act on Your Meetings

Your meeting notes, transcripts, and action items already live in Fellow. But when you're mid-conversation in ChatGPT, drafting a proposal, analyzing a strategy, or prepping for a call, those meeting insights are a tab switch away. The Fellow ChatGPT plugin eliminates that gap by connecting your AI meeting assistant directly to ChatGPT, so your meeting intelligence is available exactly where you're already working.

This guide covers what the Fellow ChatGPT plugin does, how to set it up, what you can ask it, and how enterprise security controls keep your meeting data protected throughout.

What is the Fellow ChatGPT plugin?

The Fellow ChatGPT plugin is an official integration, listed in the ChatGPT Plugin Directory, that connects your Fellow workspace to ChatGPT. Once connected, you can search your meeting history, retrieve transcripts and summaries, check on action items, and even add talking points to upcoming agendas, all through natural-language prompts in a ChatGPT conversation.

Under the hood, the plugin uses Fellow's MCP Server (Model Context Protocol), the same open standard that powers Fellow's connections to Claude, Cursor, and Microsoft Copilot. ChatGPT gets one exclusive feature the other clients do not: an interactive meeting widget that displays search results as visual cards inside the chat, complete with titles, attendees, and summaries you can click through.

The plugin is available on every paid Fellow plan (Team, Business, and Enterprise). You do not need Developer Mode or a manually entered server URL to install it.

What can you do with Fellow inside ChatGPT?

The plugin gives you two categories of capabilities: reading your meeting data and writing to your agendas. Here is what each covers.

Search and retrieve meeting intelligence

Fellow's search tool is the workhorse of the plugin. You can query across transcripts, AI meeting notes, summaries, and calendar metadata using natural language. Results can be filtered by participant, company domain, date range, internal versus external meetings, or recording channel.

Specific read capabilities include:

1. Meeting search by topic, speaker, participant name, email, company domain, date range, or channel

2. Meeting summaries including decisions and AI-suggested action items

3. Full speaker-attributed transcripts for any recorded meeting

4. Participant lists showing who attended a given meeting

5. Action items filtered by assignee, status, date, or topic

6. Agendas and agenda templates for upcoming or past meetings

When you search for meetings in ChatGPT, Fellow can display results using an interactive visual widget. Each card shows the meeting title, attendees, and summary, with a link back to the full meeting in Fellow. This widget is exclusive to ChatGPT and makes browsing through multiple results faster than scanning text.

Write to meeting agendas from the chat

Beyond reading, the plugin lets you add talking points, notes, and follow-ups directly to a meeting agenda without leaving ChatGPT. You can append new items, prepend them, or make targeted edits to an existing agenda.

You can also manage agenda templates: search for saved templates by title, apply a template to an upcoming meeting, or set a template as the default for an entire recurring series.

Write access is limited to agendas and templates. The plugin cannot create or complete action items, share recordings, change workspace settings, or join meetings. This deliberate boundary keeps the integration focused and ensures that destructive changes always require confirmation.

How to connect Fellow to ChatGPT

Setting up the plugin takes about a minute. Here is the process:

1. Open ChatGPT and navigate to the Plugin Directory (or search for "Fellow" directly)

2. Select Fellow and click Connect

3. You will be redirected to Fellow's OAuth sign-in page, where you log into your workspace

4. Approve the five permission scopes: read calendar, read meeting content, read action items, read channels, and write meeting agendas

5. Return to ChatGPT and start querying your meetings

Write access (the fifth scope) is never granted by default. If a ChatGPT client requests no specific scopes, Fellow grants only the four read permissions. The write scope must be explicitly requested and approved, adding an extra layer of intentional consent.

A Fellow workspace admin must first enable the MCP connection in Workspace Settings before any user can connect. This setting is off by default for every workspace, giving admins full control over whether meeting data flows to external AI clients.

What to ask: practical prompts for teams

The real power of the Fellow ChatGPT plugin emerges when you combine meeting data with ChatGPT's general capabilities, like drafting, analysis, and synthesis. Here are prompts that go beyond simple lookups:

Before a client call: "@Fellow.ai What should I know about the Q2 marketing campaign from the team meeting?" pulls the relevant context so you walk in prepared.

Tracking commitments: "@Fellow.ai What were my action items from this week?" returns accepted action items filtered to you, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Cross-meeting research: "@Fellow.ai What did the customer say about pricing in our last three calls? Pull quotes from the transcripts." This kind of cross-meeting query is where the plugin shines, because ChatGPT can synthesize findings from multiple transcripts into a single coherent answer.

Preparing a briefing doc: "@Fellow.ai Summarize the key decisions from our last five leadership syncs." ChatGPT takes the meeting summaries Fellow returns and drafts a briefing you can share with stakeholders, combining Fellow's meeting intelligence with ChatGPT's writing strength.

Agenda prep: "@Fellow.ai Add a talking point about the Q4 launch to my next 1:1 with Jared." Fellow writes the talking point directly to that meeting's agenda in your workspace.

Applying templates: "@Fellow.ai Apply our QBR template to Thursday's meeting with Globex." Standardizes the meeting structure without you opening Fellow separately.

The advantage over Ask Fellow (Fellow's built-in AI query tool) is context combination. Inside ChatGPT, your meeting data sits alongside whatever else you have connected: Google Drive, Gmail, a CRM, or the web. Ask Fellow remains the faster option for questions that only need meeting data, but the ChatGPT plugin excels when you need to blend meeting intelligence with other sources or generate long-form output from it.

How admin controls protect meeting data in ChatGPT

For teams in regulated industries or enterprises with strict data governance requirements, the Fellow ChatGPT plugin is built with the same security and privacy controls that govern the rest of the platform.

Workspace-level admin controls

In Fellow's Workspace Settings, admins manage every aspect of the ChatGPT connection:

1. Master MCP switch: off by default for every workspace, so no data flows until an admin explicitly enables it

2. Per-tool toggles: admins can disable individual tools (for example, turn off transcript access while keeping summaries available, or disable all write tools entirely)

3. Dependency enforcement: disabling a read tool automatically disables any write tools that depend on it

4. New-tool defaults: admins choose whether tools Fellow ships in the future are enabled or disabled automatically

5. Connection visibility: a dashboard lists every user's active connections, and admins can revoke any of them

6. Audit logging: every connection added, removed, or tool setting changed is recorded in the workspace security audit log

The plugin only sees what you can already see

The ChatGPT plugin operates entirely within the signed-in user's permissions. It cannot access meetings, transcripts, or action items that the user would not already be able to see in Fellow. There is no admin-level or cross-user access through the plugin.

Tokens are revoked automatically when a user is deactivated or when the token expires. Disconnecting removes the token and ends the connection.

Enterprise security foundations

Fellow is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR compliant. Fellow never trains AI models on your meeting data, transcripts, notes, or summaries, on any plan, with no opt-out required. These protections apply to all data accessed through the ChatGPT plugin, just as they apply to data accessed through Fellow directly or through any other connected client.

For financial services teams that need archiving, Fellow also integrates with Global Relay for regulatory record-keeping, and the compliance portal provides workspace-wide search, review, and audit capabilities across all recorded meetings.

Making meeting intelligence portable

The Fellow ChatGPT plugin represents a shift in how teams interact with their meeting data. Instead of context living in one app and work happening in another, the plugin makes your full meeting history available wherever your thinking is already happening. Pair it with Fellow's 50+ native integrations, and your meeting intelligence flows into the tools your team actually uses, from CRMs to project boards to the AI assistants you rely on every day.
