Definitely, the GitLab meeting linked (https://app.circleback.ai/view/lt93jwzdg3hdzcdnxmm) is one example. Let me know if any other public meetings come to mind I can import to show this.

If you want to test it with multiple languages, perhaps try all the parliaments of the world? They tend to have public recordings.
Great idea. I imported a Scottish Parliament meeting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2WPUzr5ieI), you can see the results here: https://app.circleback.ai/view/ltg9d70asxk05j1fyaq.

Right now, speaker identification (and thus everything downstream that depends on that) works better for meetings where Circleback joins the call (compared to those imported) but I wanted to share this anyway.

The summary is very high quality! Thanks for that.

I think the thing I'd like most is if the AI could "cite" its source (i.e. provide a timestamp of when exactly the statement was made that it's summarizing) directly inline in the summary (vs. only in the transcript).

Similarly to how they're used in AI-powered search (e.g. Perplexity), inline citations would help me easily cross-reference statements and gain confidence that the summary is accurate and the information can be relied on.

excellent idea! this could be the litmus test of product fitness
It's kind of weird to transcribe a meeting from someone who isn't your customer and use it in marketing material (this post). Folks who don't have the context would think GitLab is a customer of yours and you have their permission for using their stuff in marketing.
I would expect them to showcase their dogfooding of the product. Just use it for every internal meeting and cherry-pick the best result to put on display.
