Action items

The part of a meeting write-up people actually use is the list of things someone agreed to do. Carbon Voice extracts those from the discussion so you don't have to comb back through it.

Finding them​

In a conversation. Open Conversation Settings and tap Action Items to see what AI found in that discussion. Tap Find Action Items to scan again after new messages.

Across everything. Open Notebook → Action Items for every action item you have, from every conversation.

Action items for a conversation, with AI suggestions above the to-do list

When AI spots new ones, you'll see an AI found new action items banner in the conversation.

Working through them​

  • Tick one off to mark it done, and untick to put it back.
  • Assign one to a person, and give it a due date.
  • Sort by due date, filter by assignee, or Show Completed to see what's done.
  • Add your own with the "+", since you don't have to wait for AI to find something.
  • Edit the wording if the extracted version isn't quite right.
  • Move an item to a different conversation.
  • Delete anything that isn't real.

If AI proposes a batch of items at once, you'll be asked to confirm before they're all added, so a long discussion doesn't dump twenty items on you unannounced.

Sharing them​

Tap Share Action Items to send the list out of Carbon Voice, into a message, an email, or your task tracker.

From an AI assistant​

If you've connected Claude or ChatGPT over MCP, you can work through action items from there too: pull them out of a voice memo or a conversation, ask what's still open, and mark things done. See what your assistant can do.

Offline​

Action items work offline. Anything you tick, add or edit while disconnected is queued and applied when you're back. You'll see a note saying so rather than losing the change.
