Regenerate a summary
Write the summary of a call again from a template, with extra instructions you give.
MCP tool fathom_video_write → regenerate_summary
write Confirm
Selects a summary template on the call page, adds your instructions with the gear icon and clicks Regenerate Summary. The new text replaces the summary shown on the call, including for people the call is shared with. Set apply_to_future to true to also click Apply to Future Summaries, which keeps the instructions for that template. Summary customization needs a Premium or Team plan. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
