Multi-resolution summary
A multi-resolution summary presents a conversation at several time horizons at once — such as now, the last 2 minutes, the last 5 minutes, and the full call — so you can zoom from the latest exchange out to the whole meeting at a glance.

A multi-resolution summary is a meeting summary presented at several time horizons simultaneously — typically now, the last 2 minutes, the last 5 minutes, and the full call — so you can zoom from the most recent exchange out to the entire meeting with a single glance.
How it works
Instead of one summary, a multi-resolution view maintains several rolling summaries in parallel, each covering a different span of time. The shortest captures what was just said; the longest re-condenses everything so far. All of them update live as the conversation continues.
Why it matters
Different moments call for different zoom levels. When your name is suddenly called, you want the last 2 minutes. When you join late or need the broader thread, you want the full call. A single fixed summary forces a trade-off; a multi-resolution one lets you pick the right horizon instantly. This is the heart of real-time meeting summarization and what makes it possible to catch up after stepping away without asking anyone to repeat themselves.
