How to use
  • Write the summary last (after decisions/actions are clear).
  • Treat action items like a contract: owner + due date.
  • Publish the minutes to the same place every time.
Common mistakes
  • Capturing discussion but not decisions.
  • Leaving action items without owners.
  • Writing minutes as prose instead of a skimmable structure.
AI note‑taker fit
  • If your tool fails Names, action items become unassignable.
  • If your tool fails Numbers, timelines and budgets drift.
  • Export/copy matters more than fancy dashboards.
