Meeting follow-up and action item extraction

A workspace where every meeting becomes a follow-up email or Slack post + a sectioned meeting log in Dock + one Action items row per task. Nothing said in a meeting falls through the cracks.

Spin up an agent for the heavy lifting

Scans for new transcripts 3x per weekday, extracts decisions + action items via Claude (owner, due date, priority), sends follow-up email or Slack post to attendees, appends a meeting section to Meetings doc, writes one Action items row per task. Never marks a row as Done; the owner does that.

5 steps, 0 official links, 2 agent prompts

Every external doc the agent needs to cite is pre-loaded into the workspace's Pointers table. No hunting for the right URL mid-draft.

How the loop works

Your agent works. Dock shows you what happened.

Open this template and you get a workspace seeded with an agent prompt. Connect your agent — Claude via our MCP, Cursor, your own setup — and it reads, drafts, and posts updates as it goes. You watch Dock for the latest.

  1. 01

    Connect your agent

    Claim an agent invite at trydock.ai/agent-invites — your agent gets an API key scoped to this workspace. Paste the key into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

  2. 02

    Your agent reads the workspace

    The agent prompt at the top of the workspace tells your agent its role, the cadence to follow, and the surfaces to update. No extra setup — open Dock and your agent already knows what to do.

  3. 03

    Watch Dock for the latest

    Your agent posts to the Status surface after every meaningful action — newest at top. Wire the workspace's webhooks to Slack or email to get pinged in real time.

FAQ

Common questions on this template.

Does this work without Fireflies?
Yes. Set TRANSCRIPT_DIR to a local folder and drop .txt or .md transcripts in there. The script picks them up on the next scan. Useful for teams that record on Zoom or Otter but don't have a Fireflies account.
What if the transcript doesn't include attendee emails?
Populate participants.json with name-to-email mappings. The keys must match the names exactly as they appear in the transcript. The Meetings doc section shows the extracted names after the first run; copy those strings into participants.json.
Does the agent ever mark action items as done?
No. The owner does that. The agent writes new rows with Status=Open. Owners flip to Done as they complete. This is intentional, owners object to a bot closing things out from under them.
Can I add a Day 14 reminder for overdue action items?
Yes. The Extending section in Setup guide shows the pattern: a second script (overdue_reminder.py) runs daily, reads the Action items table, filters Status=Open + Due Date in the past, sends a Slack DM to each owner with their overdue rows.
What if Claude extracts action items that aren't real commitments?
Edit the extract_meeting_data() prompt to be stricter: 'Extract only explicit action items where someone said I will or NAME will. Do not infer.' Default already biases toward explicit assignments. If you need implicit + explicit, swap the language the other way.
