Data inputs

Corporate secretaries are responsible for producing accurate, legally sufficient minutes after every board and committee meeting, but manually transcribing discussion into properly formatted minutes and tracking down resolution language and voting results is time-consuming and prone to omission

Delayed minutes create governance risk, especially when resolutions need to be formally adopted for financing, M&A, or regulatory filings

This agent processes meeting recordings or notes to draft structured minutes that separate reportable decisions from general discussion, correctly capture motions and voting outcomes, and generate an action item tracker for follow-up

It gives the corporate secretary a strong first draft within hours of a meeting instead of days, while flagging any resolution language that needs legal review before circulation

The agent triggers when a board or committee meeting recording, transcript, or notes file is uploaded, then uses speech-to-text and speaker diarization where audio is provided to produce a raw transcript. An LLM parses the transcript to identify agenda items, distinguish formal motions and votes from general discussion, and draft minutes in the company's standard governance format, including resolution language pulled from company templates. The agent extracts action items with named owners and due dates into a tracker, flags any resolution requiring outside counsel review based on materiality thresholds, and routes the draft to the corporate secretary for editing before final board approval at the next meeting.
