# 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.

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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai-assistants/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.
