  • Ask Marloo anything: Query across all stored information - every meeting transcript, document, and note you've ever made

  • Built for teams: Secure collaboration features designed specifically for financial advice practices

Marloo works with any client interaction:

  • Virtual meetings: Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and all major platforms

  • In-person meetings: Record using web app or mobile apps

  • Phone calls: Mobile app recording for any conversation

  • All meeting types: Initial consultations, annual reviews, insurance discussions, mortgage meetings

How accurate is the transcription?

Can I try Marloo before purchasing?

Yes! You get 10 free meeting summaries with no credit card required. This gives you a complete experience to evaluate how Marloo fits your practice.

Do I need to change how I conduct meetings?

Not at all. Marloo works in the background, allowing you to focus entirely on your client. You retain complete control - you always manually admit Marloo to meetings and can remove it anytime.

How does Marloo handle different languages?

Marloo supports transcription in over 30 languages. You can set your transcription language in settings and change it on a case-by-case basis for meetings conducted in different languages.

Can I use Marloo without connecting my calendar? Yes, while calendar integration provides the best experience, you can manually add meetings and upload recordings or transcripts directly to Marloo.

Which video conferencing platforms does Marloo support?

Marloo works with all major platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Hangouts, and many others. If you have a meeting link, Marloo can likely join it.

Why isn't Marloo joining my meeting automatically?

Check these common issues:

  • Auto-join settings: Ensure auto-join is enabled in Settings > Meetings

  • Calendar integration: Verify your calendar is properly connected

  • Meeting format: Ensure the meeting has a video conferencing link

  • Waiting room: Marloo waits in the waiting room until you manually admit it

My transcript has errors. How can I fix them?

You can improve transcript accuracy several ways:

  • Speaker identification: Name speakers once and Marloo applies it throughout

  • Find and replace: Fix recurring errors across the entire transcript

  • Direct editing: Click anywhere in the transcript to edit text directly

  • Audio quality: Ensure good microphone placement and minimal background noise

Why can't I see some clients in Clients' View?

Common causes and solutions:

  • Calendar integration: Ensure calendar is connected and syncing

  • Client tagging: Manually tag clients to meetings if email addresses don't match

  • Hidden clients: Check if clients are hidden using the filter options

  • Team settings: Verify your team view settings (own clients vs. all firm clients)

Ask Marloo AI isn't finding information I know exists. Why?

Try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Processing time: Wait a minute after uploading documents before querying

  • Question specificity: Make questions more detailed (e.g., "What was Q3 performance?" instead of "Tell me about performance")

  • File quality: Ensure PDFs are text-based rather than scanned images

  • Upload location: Verify documents are uploaded to the correct client's file

How can I improve audio quality for recordings?

Best practices for better recordings:

  • Microphone placement: Position your device appropriately for balanced audio

  • Background noise: Choose quiet locations and minimize interruptions

  • Device quality: Use devices with good microphones when possible

  • Distance management: Keep recording device reasonably close to the conversation

My calendar isn't syncing properly. What should I do? Try these solutions:

  • Reconnect calendar: Disconnect and reconnect your calendar in settings

  • Check permissions: Ensure Marloo has proper access to your calendar

  • Sign-in refresh: Re-authenticate with your calendar provider

  • Multiple calendars: Verify you're syncing the correct calendar if you have several

Can I recover a meeting if the recording failed?

Options for recovery:

  • Re-upload: If you have a backup recording, upload it manually

  • Transcript paste: Paste existing transcripts directly into Marloo

  • Manual creation: Create meeting records manually and add notes

  • Team recordings: Check if team members recorded the same meeting
