One to-do list, built from your meetings and emails

The case

In every meeting and email thread, people make promises: "I'll send the revised brief," "Can someone check the launch schedule?" Those promises end up scattered across notes and inboxes. Nobody collects them in one place, so things slip through the cracks and people end up chasing each other.

How we solved it

We built software that reads your meeting notes and emails and suggests promises and requests for review. It works like an assistant who sits in on every meeting and hands you a tidy list of who promised what.

An example. In a meeting, Sarah says: "I'll send the revised brief to the client on Friday." Someone adds: "We should also look at the launch schedule again." The software turns that into two tasks:

• Send revised brief to client. Owner: Sarah. Deadline: Friday.
• Review launch schedule. No owner or deadline mentioned, so both are left open for you to fill in.

Each task keeps the exact sentence it came from, so anyone can check who committed to what. Finished tasks get ticked off, so you always see what's done and what's still waiting.

People phrase promises in many ways: "I'll handle it," "leave that with me," "I'll get back to you by Thursday." The software looks for commitments in everyday language and brings the suggestions back to the team to confirm.

You stay in control. Nothing goes on the list until someone on your team clicks to accept it, and the software never makes up a deadline.

What it works with

• Your meeting notes
• Email threads from inboxes you choose to connect. It only reads what you approve.
• A list of your team and your projects, so it knows who "Anna" is and which project "the launch" means
