FIRST-PERSON SOURCE
“I’ll send the revised rollout note on Thursday.”
Meeting commitments and tasks
A task should begin with something you actually said.
Noter only proposes a personal commitment when a verbatim first-person quote supports it. Vague intentions stay vague, soft deadlines keep their spoken wording, and nothing enters your task ledger until you choose Mine or Not mine.
PROPOSED COMMITMENT
Send the revised rollout note
Source attached
SOURCEVerbatim first person
“I’ll” is evidence. A topic or recommendation is not.
TIMENo invented precision
“After the holidays” does not become a calendar date.
OWNERSHIPMine / Not mine
You confirm every extracted personal commitment.
CONTINUITYSeries memory
Last week’s open item can carry into the next meeting.
The evidence bar
Fluent is not the same as true.
Meeting conversation is full of possibilities, polite offers, and conditional language. Noter separates those from an owned commitment before it creates more work for you.
“We should revisit onboarding.”
Useful context, but not a personal commitment. It remains a topic or open question.
“Maybe I can look after the holidays.”
The tentative wording stays visible. No exact date is manufactured.
“I’ll send the update on Thursday.”
First-person ownership and a stated date support a candidate for your confirmation.
A ledger, not a guess
Open work stays attached to the meeting that created it.
Confirmed commitments enter a task ledger with the owner, timing, status, source quote, and meeting. Meeting-series memory helps an item carry forward or discharge without losing where it began.
- Candidate
- Extracted from a meeting with a supporting first-person quote.
- Mine
- Confirmed by you and admitted to the task ledger.
- Not mine
- Rejected without turning uncertain language into noise.
- Timing
- Exact dates are used only when the meeting supports them; soft wording remains soft.
- Calibration
- Each Mine / Not mine decision is logged so extraction quality can be measured rather than assumed.
From commitment to follow-through
Prepare the work. Keep the reason.
A confirmed commitment can ground a draft email, connected-app task, status update, or document. Sensitive actions still require confirmation; the quote and destination remain visible when you review them.
Noter does not promise that every conversation becomes a task. The absence of sufficient evidence is a valid result.
Keep the promise, not the noise.
