Meeting notes to decisions

What was decided, who does what, what is open

Your AI turns a transcript or rough notes into the record everyone reads, the way a chief of staff would: decisions first, actions with one owner and a date, open questions, short neutral discussion notes and a follow-up message ready to send.

By Vander Labs. A Vander Labs Original, written by the Vander Labs team with AI assistance. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code.

What your AI learns

  • Separates decided from proposed and marks anything implied
  • Gives every action one named owner and a date, or marks it proposed
  • Writes a follow-up message under 150 words that asks for confirmation

How it works

  1. Read for structure: Topics rather than time order, who concluded what, and where the record has gaps.
  2. Extract decisions: One sentence each with who confirmed it and the reasoning; implied agreement marked proposed.
  3. Extract actions: Verb, object, one person and a date; intentions without an owner go to open questions.
  4. Open questions and risks: Unanswered questions, unresolved disagreements, dependencies and who resolves each.
  5. Summarize briefly: Two to five neutral bullets per topic with no attributions of tone or motive.
  6. Write the summary: Three lines at the top: decided, next, blocked.
  7. Follow-up message: Decisions, actions and open questions for the team channel, asking owners to confirm within a day.
  8. Carry forward and verify: Previous actions with status, repeat offenders flagged, every line traceable to the source.

Limits and safety

  • Nothing is added that was not said; later additions are labeled with who added them.
  • Not a verbatim or legal record.
