Note Summarization requires a transcript. To generate summaries automatically when a meeting ends, turn on [real-time transcription](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/realtimekit/ai/transcription/#real-time-transcription) or [post-meeting transcription](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/realtimekit/ai/transcription/#post-meeting-transcription), and set `summarize_on_end: true`. With post-meeting transcription, RealtimeKit generates the summary after the transcript is available. ## Turn on summarization Set `summarize_on_end: true` when [creating a meeting](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/realtime%5Fkit/subresources/meetings/methods/create/). For post-meeting summaries, also set `transcribe_on_end: true` so RealtimeKit generates the summary automatically after the transcript is available: ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/realtime/kit/$APP_ID/meetings" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "title": "Product Review", "transcribe_on_end": true, "summarize_on_end": true, "ai_config": { "transcription": { "language": "en-US" }, "summarization": { "word_limit": 500, "text_format": "markdown", "summary_type": "team_meeting" } } }' ``` ## Configuration | Option | Type | Default | Description | | ------------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------- | | word\_limit | number | 500 | Summary length (150-1000 words) | | text\_format | string | markdown | Output format: plain\_text or markdown | | summary\_type | string | general | Meeting context for tailored summaries | ### Summary types Choose a type that matches your meeting for better results: | Type | Best for | | --------------------- | ---------------------------- | | general | Any meeting (default) | | team\_meeting | Regular team syncs | | daily\_standup | Agile standups | | one\_on\_one\_meeting | 1:1 meetings | | sales\_call | Customer sales conversations | | client\_check\_in | Client status updates | | interview | Job interviews | | lecture | Educational content | | code\_review | Technical code reviews | ## Consume summaries ### Webhook Configure the `meeting.summary` event in [RealtimeKit webhooks](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/realtimekit/webhooks/#meetingsummary) to receive the summary download URL when it is ready: ```json { "event": "meeting.summary", "meeting": { "id": "bbb8940e-1b97-402a-97d6-2708b7feca41", "sessionId": "05e57591-d89e-45c9-ae44-08dc1eaad0e0", "organizedBy": { "id": "c94c437b-592a-4a39-b9e2-47ef1451e43b", "name": "Example organization" } }, "summaryDownloadUrl": "https://example.com/summary.txt", "summaryDownloadUrlExpiry": "2026-06-10T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### REST API #### Fetch summary Refer to [Fetch summary of transcripts for a session](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/realtime%5Fkit/subresources/sessions/methods/get%5Fsession%5Fsummary/). ```bash curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/realtime/kit/$APP_ID/sessions/$SESSION_ID/summary" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" ``` #### Trigger manually Use the [Generate summary of transcripts for the session](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/realtime%5Fkit/subresources/sessions/methods/generate%5Fsummary%5Fof%5Ftranscripts/) API if `summarize_on_end` was not set and you want to generate a summary manually after the transcript is available. ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/realtime/kit/$APP_ID/sessions/$SESSION_ID/summary" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" ``` ## Example output With `text_format: "markdown"` and `summary_type: "team_meeting"`: ```markdown ## Meeting Summary ### Key Discussion Points - Reviewed Q4 roadmap priorities - Discussed deployment timeline for v2.0 - Identified blockers for the auth migration ### Action Items - @alice: Update design specs by Friday - @bob: Schedule security review - @charlie: Create migration runbook ### Decisions Made - Approved moving forward with Kubernetes migration - Delayed analytics dashboard to next sprint ``` ## Retention Summaries are stored for **7 days** after the meeting ends.
