Every meeting ends with clear decisions and owned action items
Briefly is a meeting platform that transcribes conversations, summarises them, picks out decisions and organises action items. It’s for teams who leave meetings unsure what was agreed. I designed and built the web app, from the meeting list to the meeting page.
01The problem
Most meetings end with notes no one reads, and the decisions and tasks get lost in an hour of transcript. A transcript is complete but too long to use, and a summary is quick but hard to trust without the source.
Who it’s for
Team leads
To know what was decided and who owns what, without rewatching the call.
People who missed it
A short catch-up they can trust, with a way to check the exact moment.
Project managers
Action items they can follow up on after the meeting ends.

04Key decisions
Decision 01
AI summaries tend to retell a meeting in order, which buries what was agreed somewhere in the middle.
Considered
A chronological summary of the conversation.
Chosen
The meeting page opens with decisions and action items, followed by a short summary and then the full transcript.
Why it works
People come back for outcomes, not the story. Putting outcomes first answers the main question at a glance.
Decision 02
People hesitate to act on an AI summary when they can’t check what was actually said.
Considered
A clean summary with no visible link to the transcript.
Chosen
Each decision and summary point links to the moment in the transcript it came from.
Why it works
Trust comes from being able to check. A link costs little space and turns a summary into something people can quote.
Decision 03
Tasks buried in meeting notes are forgotten once the page is closed.
Considered
Action items as a bullet list inside each meeting’s notes.
Chosen
Action items live in their own list across meetings, each with an owner and a link back to the meeting it came from.
Why it works
Follow-up happens days later, away from the meeting page, so the tasks need a home of their own.
05What’s inside
Turns recorded conversations into a searchable transcript.
Condenses each meeting into a short summary of what matters.
Picks out decisions so the outcome of a meeting is clear at a glance.
Organises tasks with owners, linked back to the meeting they came from.
Jumps from any summary point to the moment it was said.
06How it was built
I designed it and wrote the code, so the design survived contact with reality.

What I learned
AI output earns trust when people can check it against the source.
The order of a page is a product decision. Moving decisions to the top changed what the product was for.
Next step
Pick a time that suits you. You'll leave the call with a clear next step, whether we work together or not.
