How to Write Effective Meeting Minutes (With an AI Assistant That Does It For You)
Great meeting minutes are clear, concise, and actionable. But let’s be honest: writing them is a chore.
If you’re responsible for documenting meetings, you know how hard it is to:
- Keep up while actively participating
- Capture important decisions and next steps
- Share a summary that others actually read
That’s where AI-powered tools like Quill come in.
The Anatomy of Effective Meeting Minutes
Every solid meeting recap includes:
- Date & attendees
- Agenda overview
- Key decisions
- Action items (with owners & due dates)
- Next meeting time
Quill automatically captures and formats this structure, letting you focus on the conversation—not your keyboard.
Traditional Approach vs. AI Assistant
Manual method:
- Distractions
- Missed points
- Delayed distribution
Quill method:
- Real-time transcription
- On-device summarization
- Immediate shareable output
Example: AI-Generated Minutes
Meeting Topic: Q2 Product Launch Attendees: Alice, Ben, Carla Decisions: Move launch to May 15 Action Items: Ben to update roadmap by Friday
