Minutes that write themselves and tasks that don’t get lost
Echo records the committee, the team meeting or the one-to-one and, when it ends, leaves the summary, the decisions and the tasks with an owner and a due date. Tasks go to a shared board and Echo sends a reminder when they’re due.
What it costs today
Someone has to take notes
Whoever writes the minutes doesn’t really take part, and the minutes arrive late or not at all.
Tasks are left hanging
Something gets agreed, nobody writes it down with a date, and the next meeting covers the same ground again.
Decisions are scattered
Finding out what was decided a month ago means digging through emails, notes and memory.
How Echo helps
The minutes, as soon as it ends
Every meeting comes with its summary, decisions, tasks and timed chapters.
- The assistant joins the Teams meetings in your calendar on its own
- For Meet or Zoom, the Chrome extension or uploading the recording
- A follow-up email with the decisions and next steps, ready to review and send
- “My notes”: write your points and Echo fills them in with what was said
Tasks with an owner and a due date
Tasks from the summary move to Tasks on their own, with the date that was said: “on Friday”, “next week”.
- Assigned to people in the workspace, who get an email
- A board with To do, In progress and Done
- Reminders by email or Slack when they’re due
- Echo spots when a task comes up again in another meeting
- Send them to Asana, Trello or Jira
Arrive prepared
Before each meeting, what was discussed last time and what is still pending.
- A pre-meeting brief about 15 minutes before, by email or Slack
- Earlier meetings in the same series, with their open tasks
- A weekly digest of decisions every Monday
Ask all your meetings
Ask the way you’d say it and Echo answers, citing the meeting and the minute.
- “What did we decide about the marketing budget?”
- Filter by folder, dates and person
- Every citation plays when you click it
- Scheduled questions every week, by email or Slack
A Monday with Echo
The Monday leadership committee meets on Teams. The assistant joins on its own from the calendar and says in the chat that it’s recording. When it ends, everyone has the minutes with the decisions and their tasks on the board, with the date that was said. On Thursday, Echo reminds whoever has a task due. The following Monday, the pre-meeting brief recalls what is still pending.
Frequently asked questions
Does Echo join Google Meet or Zoom meetings?
For now the assistant joins Microsoft Teams. Meet or Zoom meetings in the browser are recorded with the Chrome extension, or you can upload the recording.
Who can see the team’s minutes?
Meetings in a team workspace are visible to its members according to their role: Viewer, Editor, Admin or Owner. For the most sensitive material there are restricted folders.
Do people need to be told they’re being recorded?
Yes. The assistant announces it in the meeting chat, but it’s best to tell participants beforehand.
Can tasks go to the tool we already use?
You can send each meeting, or a single task, to Asana, Trello, Jira or HubSpot, and the summary to Slack or Notion. Connect them in Settings, Integrations.
Which plan do I need?
Team workspaces work on any plan, including Free. The assistant that joins meetings is part of the Pro plan; SSO, policies, groups and team usage are part of the Team plan.
