Direct Answer
Kona Notetaker captures the meeting, Meeting Assistant turns it into 1-on-1 prep and notes, and Kona Coach coaches managers on how they show up.
Key Rules
- Kona Notetaker is the bot that joins the meeting and captures it. It is visible in the call.
- Kona Notetaker is a separately purchased add-on and the recommended meeting source for Meeting Assistant. It is the same meeting bot existing Kona customers use, under a new name, at the same pricing.
- Meeting Assistant is an agent in the Agents Hub. Before a 1-on-1, it sends the manager prep. After the meeting, it writes notes and suggested actions into the 1-on-1.
- Meeting Assistant needs a meeting source: Kona Notetaker or Google Meet transcripts.
- Kona Coach is a paid add-on that coaches managers on specific manager behaviors. It is not part of Meeting Assistant.
- Kona Coach tips come only from Kona Notetaker. Google Meet transcripts give notes and action items, but not Kona Coach tips.
- Kona Coach customers keep their current experience until coaching is added to the Agents Hub.
- Meeting prep is different from a Focus Brief. A Focus Brief covers what to care about this week. Meeting prep covers what to discuss in one 1-on-1.
Common Misunderstanding
Kona Notetaker is not being replaced. It is the recommended meeting source for Meeting Assistant.
