Choose a notes model

The notes model generates summaries and answers; it is separate from speech transcription. A local model runs on your computer. An external provider processes the content sent with your request and may charge your provider account.

Available local models depend on your device. Choose from the options DoodleNote shows rather than assuming a model available on another computer will work on yours.

1. Open Settings → Notes model.
2. Select a supported local model and complete its download, or configure a listed external provider.
3. For external AI, read the data-sharing notice and enter credentials only into the app’s intended provider settings. Never paste an API key into a meeting, support message, or shared screenshot.
4. Select the model you want to use.
5. Open a short test meeting and generate notes.

You should see a completed summary. The first local request may take longer while the model loads.

Check free disk space and let downloads finish. If local generation is slow, close memory-intensive apps and choose a smaller supported model if one is available.

For external errors, check the provider credentials, connection, and usage limits. Switching providers changes who processes the request; only make that change if you are comfortable with the data flow.
