# AI meeting notes, without the meeting

A meeting note-taker records a meeting you already had. It still costs everyone the hour,
still needs a time that suits eight calendars, and still leaves the quiet people quiet.

Carbon Voice comes at it from the other end. Have the discussion **asynchronously**, so
everyone speaks when it suits them, and you get the notes as a byproduct, because every
message was transcribed the moment it was said.

## What you end up with

- **A full transcript**, written as the discussion happened rather than reconstructed
  afterwards.
- **A summary** of what was decided and what changed.
- **Action items**, pulled out by AI and assignable.
- **Engagement stats**, so you know who has actually caught up.

## How to run one

1. **[Why there's no meeting](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/why-no-meeting)** — what changes when the discussion is
   async.
2. **[Run an async meeting](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/run-an-async-meeting)** — set a topic and a reply deadline,
   and let people contribute.
3. **[Get the notes](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/get-the-notes)** — the summary, the transcript, and what AI can
   reshape them into.
4. **[Action items](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/action-items)** — what AI found that someone needs to do.
5. **[Share the notes](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/share-the-notes)** — into another conversation, your notes app,
   or wherever your team keeps decisions.
