I built a tool that turns meeting transcriptions into actionable to-do lists
A few months ago, I was constantly losing focus in online meetings because I was too busy taking notes.
I’d either miss something important or have to rewatch the recording just to figure out action items.
So I built Auto Note — a small web tool that:
Reads your meeting transcription (MP4 file)
Automatically extracts action items into a clean checklist
Adds a title, priority, and short summary for each task
The goal: Let you stay fully engaged in the meeting while still having a clear, structured to-do list afterward.
It’s been a game changer for me — especially in long meetings where context and responsibilities can easily get lost.
If you’re curious, here’s the live version: auto-note.up.railway.app
I’d love feedback on:
Does this solve a real problem for you?
What features would make it even more useful?
It solves a problem if it's accurate... and that bar is high.
Your challenge is going to be in figuring out how to suss out action items. It's clear if they're explicitly stated. But a lot of times a task comes from subtext. "Where is Jeff on that Persimi thing?" "I don't know, I haven't heard from him." "Ugh. Ok." might need to be a check on Jeff or check on Persimi task. On the flip side, jokes about, "We need more vacation days", or "We gotta do something about that Jeff guy commenting on our project." might end up being tasks, adding to the noise that makes the to-do signal less valuable.
Where you can't be sure about accuracy, maybe you can qualify the output with confidence ratings on tasks... highlighting the tasks you're sure are actual to-do items, and then separating things that may not be. Maybe you can even leverage this 'problem' into a solution of suggesting to-do items from subtext. Maybe even using long-term awareness as a feature, "Jeff has missed three meetings. Suggested To Do: Check on Jeff. Develop a Plan B if Persimi doesn't come through." things like that could add huge value.
Oh my god, really helpful.
it made me realize clearly what this product need to do exactly and a clear direction for development.
Thanks for your feedback.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Let me know if I can do anything more. Good luck!
Although I don't fall under the target audience, I can tell it works well. The UI is simple and light. I'd like to watch this grow
Thanks for your feedback
There are a lot of great note taking AI for meetings right now and I'm seeing them be used more and more by people, with the results continually improving.
It's a cool idea but not a problem I've personally come across. If I were you, my concern would be that something like a Granola could do this quite easily
I just checked out Granola, and it was really good. Anyway thanks for letting me know what I should do.
I've been developing a simple grid to help organise your projects.
There's a helpful template here to show how it can be used for Product Development - currently accepting Beta Users - https://www.meettoad.co.uk/templates/entrepreneurs/
tried this and found it useful, it reminds me of Trello but you have multiple rows in a board, it would be great if you allowed drag and drop of rows.
Glad you liked it - hopefully it can help you build out your product development.
Will have a think on the drag and drop of rows.
Sound good, it actually helpful features. i have tried on my meeting, yeah it work well
Thank you
