Free Action Items Generator

Paste a meeting transcript or your notes. Get every task that was agreed, with the owner and due date when someone said them. Copy it as a table or a checklist. Free, no account.

Works with transcripts from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, or notes you typed during the call. Up to about 400,000 characters. Free up to 5 times a day.

How it works

  1. Paste the meeting. A transcript or the notes you took. Names in the text ("Maya: I'll send the deck") let the AI fill in owners.
  2. Find the action items. The AI lists each task someone committed to, with the owner and due date when they were stated. When they weren't, it says "Not stated" instead of guessing.
  3. Put them to work. Copy the table into a doc or spreadsheet, copy the checklist into Notion, Obsidian or GitHub, or download .docx and .md.

Common questions

Is the action items generator free?

Yes. You can run it 5 times a day for free, with no account.

How does it decide who owns a task?

Only from what was said. If someone says "I'll send the deck by Friday" or is asked and agrees, they are the owner. If the text doesn't say who will do it, the owner is "Not stated". It never assigns a task to whoever spoke most or raised the topic.

What if no due date was mentioned?

The due date is "Not stated". Dates are kept in the words used ("by Friday", "before the launch") and are not converted into calendar dates, so nothing is invented.

Can I paste rough notes instead of a transcript?

Yes. Bullet notes, a chat log or a full transcript all work. The more the notes say who agreed to what, the more owners and dates it can fill in.

What happens to my notes?

They are sent to our AI provider to find the action items and are not published or shown to anyone else. Please don't paste anything you aren't comfortable sharing with us.
