  • Using the AI Meeting Summary Assistant

    1. During a student appointment, open the Appointment Summary Report and locate the AI tool area on screen.
    2. Select Meeting Summary Assistant to activate live transcription.
      • Confirm that the student has provided explicit consent before turning it on.
      • If the meeting is conducted online (e.g., via Zoom), you may instead use the Zoom-generated meeting transcript to help generate the summary.
      • The assistant will begin generating a draft transcript during the meeting.
    3. After the appointment discussion, click to generate the AI summary.
      • The tool will create a structured draft including discussion topics, decisions, and action items.
      • You may adjust or refine the output using prompts if additional clarification is needed.
    4. Review and edit the AI-generated content.
      • Correct any inaccuracies.
      • Remove unnecessary or sensitive information.
      • Add additional context or details where appropriate.
    5. If needed, you may regenerate the summary or make additional edits before finalizing.
    6. When satisfied, insert the finalized content into the Appointment Summary Report.
    7. If sensitive topics arise at any point, or if requested by the student, turn off the Meeting Summary Assistant immediately.
    8. Once fully reviewed and finalized, save the Appointment Summary.

    Usage Guidelines to Keep in Mind:
    Important Privacy + Scope Notes

    Important: No audio is recorded or stored by Navigate360 or our third-party transcription service. The Meeting Summary Assistant uses live transcription that generates a transcript temporarily available on the Appointment Summary Report. Navigate360 does not store the transcription after the Appointment Summary Report is saved or closed, and neither does the third-party transcription service.

    These guidelines apply to the use of the Navigate360 Meeting Summary Assistant feature only. The use of other third-party AI meeting assistants is not authorized.

    Student Consent (Required)

    Student consent is required to use the Meeting Summary Assistant. Students (and any other meeting participants) must explicitly consent before the tool is turned on.

    Suggested consent script:

    “I’d like to ask your permission to use an AI tool that helps me draft notes and action items from our meeting. Using this tool helps capture follow-up items and reminders, but it is completely optional. I will review and edit everything for accuracy before saving any information in Navigate. Are you okay with me turning it on?”

    When to Disable the Tool (Anytime)

    Be prepared to disable the tool at any point, either upon the student’s request or if sensitive information is being shared.

    Do Not Use for Sensitive Topics

    Do not use an AI meeting assistant when discussing sensitive topics such as (but not limited to):

    • Crisis or safety concerns, mental health, or medical details
    • Title IX or conduct matters
    • Legal or immigration issues
    • Situations involving high sensitivity, conflict, or student discomfort

    When in doubt: turn it off. Protect the student’s privacy and safety.

    Review Before Saving (Required)

    Always review the output before saving the Appointment Summary. All information entered in Navigate becomes part of the student’s official academic record. AI summaries or transcripts should not be saved until you:

    • Read them thoroughly
    • Correct errors to ensure accuracy
    • Remove unnecessary or sensitive information
    • Add additional context or details if needed
    Recommended Prompts (Consistency + Safety)

    Use this structure for consistency and safety:

    • Topics discussed (2–5 bullets)
    • Decisions made
    • Action items (who / what / when)
    • Referrals or resources provided
    • Follow-up plan
