Meeting Notes

Purpose

Turn a meeting into a record of what was decided and what happens next. A transcript is not notes; nobody reads a transcript, and the value of a meeting evaporates within a week without a record of its decisions.

When to Use

• Summarizing a meeting or a call.
• Processing a transcript or a recording.
• Producing a record of decisions for people who were not there.
• Extracting action items.

Capabilities

• Extracting decisions, actions, and open questions.
• Distinguishing what was decided from what was discussed.
• Attribution and ownership.
• Structuring notes for a reader who was absent.
