How to use
  • Create a Doc template and use it for every meeting.
  • Use the action-items table as the source of truth.
  • Share the Doc link immediately after the call.
Common mistakes
  • Multiple docs for the same meeting (no single source of truth).
  • Hiding action items inside paragraphs.
  • Not using headings (makes it unsearchable).
AI note‑taker fit
  • Prioritize export/copy so you can paste cleanly into Docs.
  • Names and numbers are the high-stakes failure points.
  • Use a recap generator to ship follow-ups faster.
