AI-Generated Action Items

When you generate an AI summary, action items are automatically extracted from your meeting conversation.

How It Works

1. Open a completed meeting
2. Go to the Summary tab
3. Click "Generate Summary"
4. AI analyzes the transcript for tasks, commitments, and follow-ups
5. Action items appear in a reviewable list

What AI Looks For

AI identifies action items based on language patterns:

• Explicit commitments: "I'll send the report by Friday"
• Task assignments: "John, can you handle the design?"
• Follow-up mentions: "We need to circle back on pricing"
• Deadlines: "This needs to be done before the launch"
• Action verbs: "Let's schedule a review", "We should update the docs"

Reviewing AI Suggestions

Before saving, review each suggested action item:

Assignee Detection

AI attempts to identify who should be responsible based on:

• Explicit mentions: "Sarah will handle..."
• Speaker context: "I'll do this" → assigns to the speaker
• Meeting attendees: Matches names to calendar participants

You can change the assignee before saving if AI got it wrong.

Saving Action Items

After reviewing:

1. Edit task text or assignees as needed
2. Dismiss items that aren't real tasks
3. Click "Save Action Items"
4. Items are added to your Action Items list

Saved items appear in:

• The meeting's Action Items tab
• Your main Action Items page
• Assignees' "Assigned to me" filter (if they're IceCubes users)

Improving AI Accuracy

• Use clear language in meetings: "I will X by Y" is clearer than "maybe we should think about X"
• Name people explicitly: "John, can you..." is clearer than "someone should..."
• Fix speaker names: Accurate transcripts lead to better assignee detection
• Review promptly: Context is fresher right after the meeting

Limitations

• AI may miss implicit commitments without clear language
• Tasks discussed but decided against may still be flagged
• Complex or technical tasks may not be accurately captured
• Sarcasm or hypotheticals may be misinterpreted

Always review AI suggestions before saving. You can also create manual action items for anything AI missed.
