Action Items Agent
Paste a meeting transcript — it pulls out every action item with an owner, due date and priority, plus a two-line summary.
01 · The opportunity
What it set out to solve
The decisions in a meeting are worthless if the follow-ups get lost. Someone has to listen back, work out who committed to what and by when, and turn it into a task list — and usually nobody does, so things slip.
02 · The approach
How I thought about it
I built it as an agent that reads a transcript the way a good chief-of-staff would: find the commitments, attribute each to an owner, pull out the due date, and rank by urgency. The demo uses verb/name/date heuristics; production runs the same shape on your real call transcripts with an LLM.
03 · What I built
- Paste-in transcript with a realistic prefilled sample
- A visible extraction loop: read → spot commitments → assign → prioritise
- Action items with task, owner, due date and P1–P3 priority
- A two-line summary of who owns what and what's urgent
- One-click copy of the whole list
04 · The result
What changed
A working agent that turns a wall of transcript into an owned, prioritised task list in seconds — the kind of ops automation I wire into a client's meeting and tracker stack.
Pull the action items.
Paste a meeting transcript (or use the sample) and watch it pull out every action item with an owner, due date and priority, plus a two-line summary. All in your browser.
Meeting transcript
Paste a transcript in Name: … form, or use the sample.
Every commitment — task, owner, due date and priority — plus a two-line summary will appear here.
05 · Decisions & trade-offs
The questions I'd get asked about this, and my answers
How does it decide the owner and priority?
Owner comes from who was addressed ("Raj, can you…") or who committed ("I'll…"); priority comes from signal words (urgent, blocker, EOD → P1; 'can wait', 'after launch' → P3). In production the same rules back an LLM so it also catches what the keywords miss.
How would this run for real?
Connected to your meeting tool (Fireflies, Otter, Meet, Zoom): every call is transcribed, the agent extracts the action items, and pushes them straight into your tracker — assigned, dated and prioritised — before anyone's left the room.
