What is Analyzer?

Analyzer, in the Daisy desktop app, is where you turn a recorded meeting into a written document. Pick a meeting, pick a prompt (on the Analyzer page it's labelled a Topic), and Daisy runs it over the transcript and writes the result — rendered as markdown you can copy.

A prompt is a named instruction describing what an analysis should produce. Everything Daisy writes about a meeting is a prompt: the notes that appear automatically after a recording are the one prompt that runs on its own. Analyzer lets you run any prompt, on demand, over any meeting you've recorded.

Built-in prompts

Daisy ships six prompts you can run as-is, edit, or copy into your own:

  • Daisy Summarizer — the default notes that run automatically after every recording: TL;DR, action items with owners and due dates, decisions, open questions, and key topics.
  • Zoom-style Meeting Notes — a narrative executive summary, a section per topic, and action items.
  • Otter-style Meeting Notes — a chapter summary, then a bulleted outline and action items.
  • Project Manager coaching, Management Consultant coaching, and Team Lead coaching — communication coaching on how you showed up on the call: a one-paragraph assessment plus up to three strengths and up to three improvements, each tied to a concrete moment in the transcript.

You can also write unlimited custom prompts, or pick Ad Hoc… to type a one-off instruction and run it without saving — for example, "Did I hit my goals for this meeting?"

Run an analysis

  1. Open Analyzer from the navigation. If you don't see it, turn on Nerd Mode in Settings → Display.
  2. Under Meeting, pick a recording. Only meetings that have a transcript can be analyzed.
  3. Pick a Topic — any prompt, or Ad Hoc….
  4. The instruction appears in an editable box. Tweak it if you like; Save changes to your own prompts or Save as… a new one (built-ins are save-as-only).
  5. Select Run Analysis. The result renders as markdown with a Copy button.

Results are saved per meeting and prompt, so they reload when you come back; re-running replaces the previous result.

Managing prompts

Edit and organize prompts in Settings → Prompts: rename and edit your own prompts, edit Daisy Summarizer or Reset to default, pick one as Default for summaries, Delete your own, or Save as… a copy. Each built-in shows its Example output.

What you need

Analyzer can use Daisy's built-in AI, a local server (LM Studio or Ollama), or your own cloud key. Analyzer has no copy-paste mode. See the FAQ for how Daisy handles your data, and Getting an API key.
