AI Meeting Notes with Action Items: How to Get Them in Minutes
Taking notes in a meeting is a job in itself. You half-listen, half-type, and still miss the action items. An AI note-taker records the conversation and gives you back a clean summary with the decisions and the to-dos — usually before you leave the room.
TL;DR
To get AI meeting notes with action items: hit record on your phone, talk through the meeting, stop the recording, and an app like Soliqo returns a structured summary — key decisions, follow-ups, and action items — usually in under two minutes. Works for in-person meetings, calls, standups, and 1:1s in 70+ languages.
How does an AI take meeting notes?
It records the audio, transcribes the conversation, and uses a language model to extract a structured summary — the points discussed, decisions made, and concrete next steps. You hit one button instead of typing throughout the meeting.
- 1
Start recording
In Soliqo tap New > Audio and let the meeting run. Works for in-person meetings and phone-speaker calls.
- 2
Stop when done
Tap stop. The app processes the recording in the background — you can keep working.
- 3
Read the summary
Within a minute or two you get key points, decisions, and action items in a clean structure.
- 4
Share with the team
Send the summary as a note or copy it into Slack, email, or your CRM. The transcript stays available if anyone needs an exact quote.
What should good AI meeting notes include?
Useful notes are not a transcript dump. They should be scannable in 30 seconds and tell you what was decided and what you owe.
- Key points — what was discussed, condensed
- Decisions — what the group actually agreed on
- Action items — concrete to-dos, ideally with the name of the owner
- Open questions — things flagged but not resolved
- Original transcript — kept available for verification
Can it handle in-person and remote meetings?
Yes. For in-person meetings, place the phone on the table and let it record. For remote calls (Zoom, Meet, Teams) the easiest path is to record the speaker output on your phone, or share the audio file into the app after the call.
Zoom and Microsoft Teams also have built-in recording that shows participants a recording notice. Zoom’s local recording can additionally save an audio-only file, which you can import into Soliqo after the call.
Are AI-generated meeting notes accurate?
Modern AI transcription is strong for clear audio in supported languages. The summary captures the structure well, but for high-stakes decisions glance at the transcript or ask a follow-up question to confirm specifics.
Is it legal to record a meeting?
Usually yes, if everyone knows. In Czechia, § 86 of the Civil Code says nobody may make a sound recording of another person’s private life without their consent unless there is a legal reason; § 88 lists exceptions, such as a recording made to exercise or protect someone’s rights.
Rules differ between countries, and a work meeting is not always “private life” in the legal sense — which is why the safest habit is also the simplest: say at the start that you are recording, and why. It keeps the conversation relaxed too, because everyone sees the phone on the table and knows what it is for.
This is general information, not legal advice. If you plan to use a recording as evidence or publish it, check with a lawyer.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for phone calls?
Yes — record on speaker, or capture the audio another way and upload it. Soliqo turns the audio into a structured summary either way.
Does it identify who said what?
For action items Soliqo attributes the owner where the speaker named one. For full speaker separation see the in-app help.
Can I export the notes?
Yes. Copy the summary as text, export as PDF, or share into other apps (Slack, email, notes apps).
