How The Automation Works

3. Consolidate and Organize Agenda

The automation collects all submitted agenda items from email and, deduplicates them, organizes by category, assigns time slots, and creates a structured agenda document.

4. Gather Supporting Documents

The automation retrieves all linked documents,, and email attachments, organizes them by agenda item, and creates a pre-read package.

5. Publish Agenda and Pre-Reads

The finalized agenda and all supporting documents are published board and sent via email to all board members with a read-by reminder.

6. Capture and Transcribe Minutes

The automation listens to the meeting recording or processes live notes, extracts decisions, action items, owners, and deadlines, and formats them into official minutes.

7. Log Action Items and Notify Owners

Extracted action items are logged with owners, due dates, and status. notifications are sent to each owner with their assigned tasks and deadlines.

8. Distribute Minutes and Archive
