Press record, or let it start

It notices when you join a call on Zoom, Meet or Teams and listens to your computer's audio.

2

Read the recap in 10 seconds

When you hang up you get the digest, the decisions and the open questions, ready to read.

3

Hand off to the right person

Action items come grouped by owner, ready to send or to remind before they are due.
