The bottleneck
After a meeting, a workshop, a client visit or a working session, one thing always remains: the report. Someone has to capture the agreements, write up the action items, add any photos, and link everything to the right project. That slips to the evening, details fade, and the report goes out later than promised. Clients are waiting for the summary, and internally not everyone remembers exactly what was agreed.
How AI solves it
- Record the meeting or dictate your findings on the spot. Speech-to-text turns it into clean text.
- AI structures the report: it extracts the topics discussed, decisions and action items, and puts them in a fixed format per meeting or visit type.
- Photos and attachments via WhatsApp or upload, automatically linked to the right project or file.
- One click and the report goes out, to the client or internally, in your house style.
Sectors where this works
Anywhere people meet and need to capture what was said afterwards:
- Consulting, advisory and professional services: workshops, strategy sessions, kick-offs, client meetings
- AI and software development: refinement sessions, briefings, hand-overs (Sevendays uses this itself for every client meeting)
- Sales and account management: client visits, account reviews, follow-up
- Construction and infrastructure: site meetings, hand-overs, progress reports
- HVAC and technical installation: interventions, maintenance, checks
- Inspections and audits: quality control, certifications, follow-up
This is about in-person meetings and visits. For online meetings there are other solutions we look at separately.
Systems involved
- Speech-to-text for recording and transcription
- WhatsApp or a simple upload for photos and attachments
- Your project or CRM system to link the client and the file
- Document storage and email for delivery
What it delivers
- Report within an hour of the meeting, instead of days later
- No more evening work writing up minutes
- All agreements, decisions and action items captured, so nothing falls through
- One consistent structure per meeting type, no matter who writes it up
Not just a report: also input for your company brain
What gets agreed in a meeting or visit is more than a finished report: it is also valuable input for your central company data. Alongside email, telephony and WhatsApp, a recorded discussion becomes one of the sources that make up your 360° timeline per customer, quote and project. So an agreement made on site or at the client automatically also lands in the right deal record, the right project file and the right customer history.
See how our platform ties it together, and how to build that 360° foundation in Connect systems and channels.
