Who uses this tool

TEAMS & MEETINGS
Standups that end in a list
Record the standup and get the commitments as a checklist instead of re-listening for who said they would do what.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Status calls → task tracker
Pull every task and deadline out of a status call, ready to paste into your project tracker.
SALES
Follow-ups that don't slip
Every promise made on a sales call — the demo, the revised quote, the intro — captured before it is forgotten.
AGENCIES & CLIENT WORK
Client calls, on the record
A checklist of what was agreed on the call, so scope changes and deliverables are written down the same day.
CONSULTING
Workshops into work
A half-day workshop recording becomes the follow-up list — decisions to act on, owners where named, dates where stated.
BOARDS & COMMITTEES
Minutes without the typing
Committee and board recordings distilled to the resolutions and follow-ups, with deadlines pulled into their own section.
SECURITY

Built for sensitive documents

Bank statements, medical files, case records. Security isn't a feature we added — it's the foundation.
