Common questions
What should meeting minutes include?
The date, place and who attended, what was discussed, what was decided, and each action with an owner and a due date. Keep to the outcomes rather than writing down every word.
Can I keep editing after I download?
Yes. Your draft stays in this browser, and the Word download can be edited by anyone you send it to.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up for everyday use, and a free account raises the daily limit if you need more.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone.
Is what I enter kept?
It's only used to get your result. Some public answers, such as the branches for a pincode, are kept for a while so the next lookup is quicker, but nothing links them to you.
