Clean minutes for every advisory meeting, kept over time

Why advisory minutes get skipped, and why that costs you

Because an advisory board has no statutory minute-keeping duty, minutes are the first thing to go. Someone jots a few notes, or nobody does, and the session's real output — sharp, expensive advice from people you brought on for exactly that — is never written down. Over a year or two of quarterly meetings, the company accumulates dozens of hours of high-value counsel with almost nothing to show for it. When you want to revisit what an advisor said, brief a new hire on the board's thinking, or simply thank an advisor with a record of their impact, there's nothing there. The absence of a habit, not a rule, is what erases the value.

What MinuteSmith does

• Readable minutes from every session. Each meeting becomes clean, accurate minutes that capture the discussion and the guidance given, so you have a real record of the session without a person transcribing it by hand afterward.
• A durable record that builds over time. Minutes accumulate into one continuous archive across every advisory meeting, so the board's contribution becomes a body of counsel you can look back across — not a scatter of one-off notes.
• Cited and searchable, meeting by meeting. Ask AI answers questions from your minutes with a citation to the exact meeting, so any past session's guidance is retrievable in seconds instead of buried in a folder.

What you keep

• Clean, accurate minutes for every advisory meeting

Ask your archive

Questions this record can answer — every answer cites the exact meeting it came from:

• “Summarize what the advisors covered at our last meeting.”
• “What did we discuss about fundraising across this year's sessions?”
• “Show me the minutes from the meeting where we reviewed the roadmap.”
• “What has this advisor contributed over their time on the board?”
