Debrief
Use cases / Team leads
Every decision,
on record.
Engineering and product leads spend a large share of the week in meetings and the rest remembering what was agreed in them. MeetingDebrief records the meetings, extracts owners and deadlines, and lets you dictate the updates that follow.
The problem
Your calendar is full of meetings nobody writes down.
Standups, one-on-ones, and planning sessions produce decisions all week. Most of them survive only in whoever was paying attention, until someone asks what was agreed.
Writing it all up is a second job. Skipping it means the same discussion happens again in three weeks, with less certainty about who said what.
How it works for you
Record the recurring meetings
Standups, one-on-ones, planning, and retros. Start a recording from the app or with a global keyboard shortcut, and keep your attention on the people in the room.
Get owners and dates
The Action Items template lists who committed to what and by when. Summaries know the date of the meeting, so "by Friday" means the Friday after that meeting.
Dictate the updates
Hold the shortcut in Slack, your issue tracker, or a review comment and say the update. It is typed in and saved to your dictation history.
What you get
Action items with owners
Every commitment from the meeting, with a name and a deadline attached. Copy it straight into the ticket or the channel.
Date-aware summaries
Relative references like next quarter, end of the month, or by Friday resolve against the day the meeting happened.
Notes per meeting
Keep an agenda or private notes for each one-on-one. Notes are searchable and included as context when you chat with the meeting.
Search across months
Find the retro where the team first raised the deploy problem. Search covers transcripts, summaries, notes, and dictations.
Summaries that stay honest
Edit a transcript or re-transcribe it, and older summaries are flagged as out of date instead of quietly describing a transcript that changed.
Time saved, measured
The Insights dashboard estimates the hours you did not spend writing up meetings, and what that time was worth.
Every one-on-one, with your own notes.
Add talking points before the meeting and follow-ups after it. The transcript, summary, and notes live on one page.
See where the hours went.
Insights counts the meetings you debriefed and the time you got back, based on your own hourly rate.
