# Generate an advanced summary

The Advanced Summary API turns a processed media recording into structured, meeting-style insights. From a single request, you get a high-level overview, detailed notes, action items, key decisions, key metrics, open questions, sentiment, and speaker talk time.

[Notes Agent](/docs/agents/notes-agent) produces these advanced summaries automatically for every meeting it records. Use this API when you want the same structured summary for a media asset you have already uploaded, such as a webinar, interview, or a recording captured outside Notes Agent.

Just want to try it? You can generate an advanced summary in the dashboard with no setup. See [Generate an advanced summary from the dashboard](#generate-an-advanced-summary-from-the-dashboard).

> Note: You can generate AI features only for existing media. Upload and process your video first, then generate an advanced summary on the ready media.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have the following:

* A FastPix account with an active workspace. See [Activate your account](/docs/getting-started/activate-your-account).
* A media asset that has finished processing, so you have its `mediaId`.

\


## Generate an advanced summary with the API

You can trigger an advanced summary and fetch the structured result programmatically with the In-Video AI API. For the endpoints, request and response schemas, and the `video.media.ai.advanced_summary.ready` webhook, see the API reference: [Trigger advanced summary](/docs/in-video-ai-api/advanced-summary/create-advanced-summary) and [Get advanced summary](/docs/in-video-ai-api/advanced-summary/get-media-advanced-summary).

\


## Generate an advanced summary from the dashboard

If you prefer a no-code option, you can generate an advanced summary for any media from the FastPix dashboard. No access token, webhook, or API call is required.

1. In the [FastPix dashboard](https://dashboard.fastpix.com/), go to **Video** > **Media**.

2) Click the media you want to summarize to open its detail page.
3) In the left sidebar, under **In-Video AI**, click **Advanced Summary**.

4. Click **Generate Advanced Summary**.
5. Wait while FastPix processes the media. Each section shows a **Processing** state until it is ready.
6. Review the result. Alongside the summary, the page shows action items, key decisions, key metrics, detailed notes, open questions, sentiment, speaker talk-time, and dates and times. Use the **Advanced Summary** list in the left sidebar to jump to any section.

When a section has no relevant content for the media, it shows **Not Available**.

\


## Limits and considerations

* All timestamps reference the position in the original recording, so you can use them for playback navigation.
* Empty arrays are returned when a section has no relevant data, for example when no action items were discussed. The API never fabricates content.

* [Notes Agent](/docs/agents/notes-agent) generates advanced summaries automatically for recorded meetings.
* API reference: [Trigger advanced summary](/docs/in-video-ai-api/advanced-summary/create-advanced-summary) and [Get advanced summary](/docs/in-video-ai-api/advanced-summary/get-media-advanced-summary).
* [In-video AI events](/docs/webhooks/in-video-ai-events#videomediaaiadvanced_summaryready) for the webhook payload.
