Action items: how they work

Every commitment in a meeting becomes a structured action item with an owner, due date, and priority.

When Amlin enhances a note, it doesn't just write a bulleted list of next steps — it extracts each commitment as a structured action item with:

  • Text — what was committed to

  • Owner — who owns it, when the conversation made that clear

  • Due date — when it was actually stated

  • Priority — inferred from how it was discussed

  • A source quote — the exact transcript line it came from

Because they're structured records rather than prose, they can be checked off, edited, reminded about, and gathered across every meeting you've ever had.

Nothing is silently committed: extracted items are always reviewable, and anything Amlin got wrong is one click from being fixed or removed.

Where they appear

  • Inside the note, under the Enhanced view

  • In the Action items view in the sidebar, which gathers every open item across all meetings

Checking one off

Click the checkbox. It strikes through in place, so a mis-click is one click back. Checked items stay visible in the note and drop out of the open list.

Fixing or removing one

  • Edit — change the text, owner, due date, priority, or reminder

  • Move — flip an item between Mine and Waiting on

  • Dismiss (×) — remove it entirely. Dismissed items don't come back if you re-enhance the meeting.

Tracing an item back

Click the icon on any extracted item to jump straight to the note and flash the exact transcript line it came from. Useful when an item is ambiguous and you want the context before you act on it.
