Getting Started with Wave AI Web App

Get up and running with Wave on the web — sign in, record, import, connect your calendar, and review AI summaries

Updated over 2 months ago

Welcome to Wave

Wave AI captures, transcribes, and summarizes your conversations — meetings, calls, lectures, voice memos, and more. This guide will get you up and running on the web app.

1. Sign In

Go to app.wave.co and sign in with one of these providers:

  • Apple

  • Google

  • Facebook

  • Microsoft

Important: Use the same login method you used when you first created your account. Signing in with a different provider will create a new, empty account.

2. Your Library

Once signed in, you'll see all your recordings. Everything syncs between mobile and web automatically — record on your phone, review on your computer.

Use the filters at the top to view:

  • All Waves — Everything in one list

  • Folders — Organized groups of recordings

  • Favorites — Sessions you've starred

  • By type — Recordings, meetings, phone calls, imports, etc.

3. Record or Import

The web app supports several ways to get content into Wave:

  • Record from your mic — Click the record button to capture audio directly

  • Upload an audio file — Import MP3, MP4, or other audio files

  • Import YouTube — Paste a YouTube URL to transcribe any video

  • Meeting Bots — Connect your calendar and let Wave join Zoom, Meet, or Teams meetings

4. Connect Your Calendar

This is one of the most powerful features on the web. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and Wave can automatically join and record your meetings.

  1. Go to Settings → Calendar

  2. Connect Google or Outlook

  3. Toggle recordings on for individual meetings, or enable auto-record for all

5. Review Summaries & Transcripts

Click any session to see:

  • AI Summary — Key points, action items, and highlights

  • Full Transcript — Everything that was said, with timestamps

  • AI Chat — Ask questions about the recording

You can customize summary formats, translate to other languages, and export to Notion, Google Docs, PDF, and more.

6. Search

Wave's search uses semantic matching — search by meaning, not just keywords. Try things like "meeting about budget" or "conversation with doctor" and Wave finds the most relevant sessions.
