Rough notes in, formal minutes out

Paste whatever you captured during the meeting. Get minutes where every decision is on the record and every action item has an owner, ready to send. Free, no account needed.

How it works

Paste your notes

Bullets, fragments, a transcript excerpt. Messy is fine: the generator extracts structure, it does not require it.

Decisions and actions surface

The AI separates what was decided from what was discussed, and collects every task with its owner and due date.

What belongs in meeting minutes

Good minutes are short, and they lead with what people came for: decisions first, then action items with an owner and a date, then the context worth keeping, and the next meeting last. Everything else is detail that readers skip. Most minutes fail by recording everything that was said and nothing that needs to happen; the generator enforces the opposite. If you want the full argument, read how to write meeting minutes that get acted on.

Meeting minutes templates by meeting type

The same backbone flexes per meeting type. Use these as templates, or paste your notes above and let the generator apply the structure for you.

Board meeting minutes

  • Meeting: name, date, attendees, apologies
  • Approvals: prior minutes, reports accepted
  • Decisions and resolutions, one line each
  • Action items: task, owner, due date
  • Next meeting and items carried forward

Standup minutes

  • Date and who was there
  • Blockers raised, and who unblocks them
  • Decisions (scope cuts, priority changes)
  • Action items outside normal sprint work

1:1 minutes

  • Date and the one big topic
  • Agreements made, both directions
  • Action items: task, owner, due date
  • Topics parked for next time

Client call minutes

  • Meeting: client, date, attendees
  • Decisions and commitments made
  • Action items on our side, with owners
  • Action items on the client side
  • Open questions and next meeting

Frequently asked questions

What should be included in meeting minutes?
Five things, in this order: the meeting name with date and attendees, the decisions that were made (one line each), the action items with an owner and a due date, the key context or open questions worth keeping, and the next meeting. Decisions and actions come first because that is what people open the minutes for; the generator produces exactly this structure.
How does the minutes generator work?
You paste whatever you captured during the meeting: bullets, fragments, half sentences, or a transcript excerpt. The AI extracts what was decided, what was assigned to whom, and what context matters, then formats it into formal minutes. It only extracts; it never invents attendees, owners, or decisions that are not in your notes.
What is the difference between meeting minutes and meeting notes?
Notes are for you; minutes are for the record. Notes can be fragmentary and personal. Minutes are the shared, structured account of what was decided and who does what next, written so that someone who missed the meeting can act on them. This tool turns the first into the second.
Can it handle a transcript instead of notes?
Yes, up to 20,000 characters. Paste the transcript excerpt that covers the decisions and the generator distills it into minutes. For whole meetings, recording directly in Neural Summary is the better path: it transcribes the full audio and produces the minutes, action items, and follow-up email automatically.
How do I share the minutes?
Four ways. Copy as text pastes cleanly into an email or chat message. Copy as Markdown drops into Notion, Confluence, or a ticket with the action items as a table. Copy link makes a URL that reopens these exact minutes for anyone, no account needed. Download PNG renders the minutes card as an image.
Are my notes stored anywhere?
The notes are sent to the AI once, to produce the minutes, and are not stored server-side. The result lives in your own browser storage so it survives a refresh, and a share link carries the minutes inside the link itself rather than on a server. The pasted notes never enter a share link.

The minutes are the after; the meeting agenda generator is the before. Working from a recording instead of notes? Start with how to transcribe audio to text. And the full engine: Neural Summary records the meeting and produces the minutes, action items, and follow-up email automatically: how it works.
