AI Action Items Extractor

Pull the To-Dos Out of a Meeting Recording.

Send the recording of your meeting to @vustScribeBot and get the action items pulled out — the concrete tasks and follow-ups people actually committed to, as a checklist. It won't invent tasks that weren't agreed; if nobody committed to anything, the list comes back empty. Audio goes in; there's no paste-your-transcript box and no bot in your call.

How the extraction behaves

Real commitments become tasks — everything else stays in the summary

An action item here means something specific: a task, follow-up or deadline someone actually committed to in the recording. Back-and-forth discussion, opinions and undecided topics don't become to-dos — they land in the summary instead. And when a recording contains no real commitments, the action-item list comes back empty on purpose, rather than padded with restated points. That restraint is what makes the checklist worth trusting.

The input is the audio recording — not a transcript you paste, and no bot that joins your call.

See the difference

A transcript excerpt from a real-shaped recording, and the action items Scribe pulls from it — including the honest empty case.

A recording with real commitments buried in discussion

The recording (transcript excerpt)

"...so the budget thing, we went back and forth but the decision is we hold the hire until Q3. Which means, Dana, you'll need to redistribute the two open tickets — can you do that by end of week? And I'll flag it to finance. We also talked about the office move but honestly nothing was decided there, we'll revisit..."

The extracted action items

Action items • Dana — redistribute the two open tickets by end of week. • Flag the held hire to the finance team. (The office-move discussion produced no commitment, so it appears in the summary — not as an action item.)

A recording that's all discussion, no commitments

The recording (transcript excerpt)

"...just thinking out loud about the roadmap — maybe we do the API work first, maybe the mobile app, I'm not sure yet, nothing to decide today, I just wanted to get my thoughts down before the planning session..."

The extracted action items

Action items (none) Because nobody committed to a concrete task, the action-item list comes back empty rather than padded with restated summary points. You still get the summary of the thinking itself.

Distrust tools that invent to-dos to look thorough.
An empty action-item list when nothing was committed — restraint you can trust.

How it works01–03

How action items get pulled

  1. 01

    Send the recording

    Audio in — a voice message, audio file or video note. No transcript to paste, no bot joining your call.

  2. 02

    It separates tasks from talk

    A Claude Haiku pass keeps concrete commitments — tasks, follow-ups, deadlines someone agreed to — and leaves general discussion in the summary.

  3. 03

    Get a checklist back

    Action items as short imperative lines, or an honest empty list when nobody committed to anything — never padded with restated points.

Quality & trust

What counts as an action item

Commitments, not musings

'We should maybe' and undecided topics don't become tasks — only things someone actually committed to. The list is meant to be acted on, not admired.

Empty when it should be

If the recording has no real commitments, the action-item list comes back empty on purpose, rather than restating summary bullets as fake tasks.

Audio in only

The input is the recording itself, not a typed transcript. Send the file and it produces the transcript and the checklist.

Limits and refund

Up to 20 minutes / 20MB; longer is rejected upfront, no charge. Free ≤5min (3/day); 5-20min is paid, priced before you confirm, refunded on failure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does it decide what counts as an action item?

The pass looks for concrete commitments — tasks, follow-ups and deadlines someone actually agreed to — and returns them as short imperative lines. General discussion, opinions and 'we should maybe' musings stay in the summary instead. The goal is a checklist you can act on, not a transcript of everything said.

Does it make up tasks to fill the list?

No, and that's the point of this page. The summariser is explicitly told to return an empty action-item list when the recording contains no real commitments, and never to restate summary bullets as fake tasks. An honest empty list beats a padded one you can't trust.

Can I feed it a transcript I already typed up?

No — the input is the audio recording itself: a voice message, an audio file or a video note. There's no paste-your-text mode. If your meeting only exists as a recording, that's exactly the input this wants; send the file.

Does anything join my call to capture the action items live?

No calendar access and no bot in your meeting. You record the meeting (or export the audio your call tool saved) and send that file afterwards. The action items are pulled from the recording, not from a live participant bot.

Do I get anything besides the action items?

Yes — alongside the action-item list you get a short summary of the key points and decisions, plus the full transcript, all in the language the meeting was held in. The action items are the part this page focuses on, but they arrive together.

What are the limits and the cost?

Up to 20 minutes and 20MB per recording; anything longer is rejected upfront with no charge. Clips of 5 minutes or less are free, 3 per day. From 5 to 20 minutes it's a paid run with the exact price shown in Telegram before payment: the exact price is stated up front, the debit happens when you send the file, and processing or delivery failure triggers an automatic refund.
