Labels

Sorting meetings by project or topic, and the one thing a label never changes.

A label says what a meeting is about: a project, a client, a topic. A meeting can wear any number of them, and every label opens the meetings that wear it, across every workspace. Labels come with Chui's paid plan; on the free plan, reaching labels offers the paid plan instead, in the same place.

A label never changes who reads a meeting. That is the workspaces' job alone. Under a label each person sees only the meetings they could already open: a meeting in somebody's own «Private» workspace that wears the team's label is still read by its recorder alone — the team's admins included.

Whose labels they are

In a team, labels belong to the whole team: anybody in it makes them, and everybody sees and uses them, across every workspace. Alone on the paid plan, they are your own. Only the person who made a label — or an admin of the team — can change or delete it.

Making one

Every label has a name, a colour and a short description: one or two sentences saying what it is for and who the meetings are with. The app asks for the description because Chui reads it to decide which meetings are about the label. A label made without one (by typing to an assistant) still works by hand, and Settings › Labels marks it so a description can be added.

On a phone: on the meetings list, tap the tag button at the top right, then «+ New label».
On a computer and on chui.io: «+ New label» under Labels in the sidebar, or «New label» in Settings › Labels.

Putting one on a meeting

On a phone: open the meeting and tap «+ Label» under its title. One field finds a label as you type, or makes a new one from what you typed.
On a computer and on chui.io: «+ Label» under the meeting's title. A label comes off with the × beside it.

Only the person who recorded a meeting can put labels on it or take them off; colleagues who read it see its labels.

Chui labels meetings itself

When Chui writes a meeting's summary, it puts on the labels the meeting is about — only labels that already exist, judged by each label's description, so a label without a description is never put on by Chui. Its pill says «added by Chui»; one tap on the × (or unticking it in the sheet) takes it off for good — summarising the meeting again does not put it back.

One switch turns this off: Settings › Labels › «Chui labels meetings itself», on by default. In a team it is one switch for the whole team.

Labels Chui proposes

Chui never makes a label by itself — a label is shared with the whole team. It proposes them:

Once, «We sorted your meetings»: the first time Chui finds at least three meetings about one topic, and never before your tenth meeting, it shows each topic with a description it wrote and how many meetings, all ticked. «Save N labels» makes them and puts each on its meetings; «No, thanks» says no. On the free plan the same topics are shown with the way to get the paid plan; once you are on it, they are saved. A proposal still waiting can be opened again from Settings › Labels.
Later, on one meeting: when a new topic keeps coming back, the meeting shows «Chui suggests a new label «…»» — «No» or «Create label».

Seeing a label's meetings

On a phone: tap the tag button on the meetings list to open «Show»: all meetings, every label with how many meetings wear it, and — in a team — the workspaces. A chosen label's name appears on its own line under the «Meetings» and «People» switch (since build 237), so it is clear the list shows only its meetings; a long name wraps. «All meetings» goes back.
On a computer and on chui.io: every label is in the sidebar under the workspaces, with its count; one opens its meetings across every workspace.

Settings › Labels lists every label with its description, how many meetings wear it and who made it, and is where a label is changed or deleted. Deleting one asks first, takes it off every meeting, and deletes no meeting.

By typing

An assistant connected to Chui does all of it: list_labels() shows them, create_label() makes one (ask for the description), update_label() changes a name, description or colour, add_label_to_meeting() and remove_label_from_meeting() put one on a meeting and take it off, and list_meetings() with a label lists the meetings under it. Deleting asks first: prepare_delete_label() says how many meetings would lose it, then delete_label() with its token. list_label_proposals() shows what Chui proposes, answer_label_proposal() saves or declines it, and set_automatic_labels() turns Chui's own labelling on or off.

On Chui Pro, update_label() can also teach a label a summary shape of your own, which every meeting wearing it then follows (since build 230); What happens after you stop says how.
