We've all felt it. You walk out of a three-hour strategy session. A week later, you get a summary that vaguely captures the first 10 minutes and the final decision, but all the critical debate, the "why" behind the "what," is lost.
Long meetings are a necessary evil. But what if their length was no longer a barrier to their value? What if you could get a perfect, high-fidelity summary of a 4-hour workshop with the same clarity as a 15-minute check-in?
With our latest release, HiNotes v2.2.14, we're introducing the integration of Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, the most powerful and intelligent AI model for long context, to power your long meetings and lectures.
What's New in HiNotes v2.2.14
With this update, HiNotes users can now choose Google Gemini 2.5 Pro as their AI engine for meeting summaries, alongside GPT-4.1, GPT-5 and Claude 4.1.
Gemini brings richer understanding, smoother writing, and deeper context awareness — giving your notes more meaning than ever before.
Why Google Gemini 2.5 Pro Matters
1. The 1 Million Token Context Window
This is the feature that makes everything else possible.
Gemini 2.5 Pro has a 1 million token context window, which is a technical way of saying it can process the entire transcript of an all-day, 10-hour meeting in one single pass.
- No more chunking.
- No more lost context.
- No more "U-shaped" summaries that only remember the beginning and the end.
This new integration means our AI can now connect a question asked in the first hour with an answer given in the fourth. It can identify recurring themes, track the evolution of a decision, and understand the complete, unbroken flow of your entire conversation, from start to finish.
2. "Adaptive Thinking" for Deeper Insights
We're not just giving you a longer summary; we're giving you a smarter one.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is a true "thinking model." It doesn't just condense text, it comprehends it. Thanks to its "Adaptive Thinking" capability, it can analyze the complex, nuanced, and often-messy reality of a human conversation.
- Before: "The team discussed the budget."
- With Gemini 2.5 Pro: "The team approved the marketing budget ($50k), following a lengthy debate. Sarah's concern about Q4 ad spend was the primary blocker, which was resolved when Mark agreed to move the developer-hire budget to Q1."
You get the what, the why, and the how—effortlessly.
3. Natively Built for Spoken Language
This is the upgrade you will feel. Gemini 2.5 Pro was designed as a native multimodal model, meaning it was trained on audio, video, and speech—not just text from the internet.
Why does this matter for your transcripts?
Because it understands the pattern of human speech. It knows that "umms," "ahs," and false starts are just conversational noise. It can differentiate between a casual suggestion and a firm decision, just by the conversational flow. This results in action items and summaries that are uncannily accurate and reflect what was meant, not just what was said.
What This Means for You: Practical Use Cases
HiNotes with Google Gemini 2.5 Pro is especially powerful in long, complex, or multi-part meetings where understanding the full narrative matters. Instead of breaking your day into multiple summaries, it delivers one coherent, well-organized brief that captures the big picture and all important details.
Ideal scenarios include:
- All-Day Workshops or Strategy Retreats
Record the entire session and receive a clear executive summary with key decisions, strategic pillars, and assigned owners.
- Lengthy Legal Depositions or Negotiations
Capture hours of detailed conversation and get a precise, clause-aware summary that retains critical context and agreements.
- Multi-Part Lectures or Training Seminars
Turn a full day of instruction into a structured study guide, complete with concepts, definitions, and Q&A highlights.
- Extended Team Meetings or Project Reviews
When you simply need to know what happened and what's next—without digging through hours of notes.
