Discover Hedy's automatic to-do tracking that extracts action items from meetings using AI. Never miss commitments again with intelligent task detection and seamless productivity integration.

May 6, 2025

The Problem Every Professional Knows

We've all been there: walking out of an important meeting with a head full of great ideas and a vague sense that something important was decided, but struggling to remember exactly what you committed to doing. By the time you sit down to follow up, the details are fuzzy, deadlines are unclear, and that crucial action item your colleague mentioned? It's lost somewhere between "I think Sarah said she'd handle that" and "wait, was I supposed to do that?"

The Solution You've Been Waiting For

Hedy's Automatic To-Do Tracking ensures that never happens again. Our AI continuously monitors your conversations, automatically identifying and extracting action items as they emerge naturally in discussion. No more frantic note-taking, no more forgotten commitments, no more wondering if you missed something important.

How It Works

Intelligent Recognition

While you focus on the conversation, Hedy's AI works behind the scenes to identify actionable items:

  • Explicit Commitments: "I'll send you the report by Friday"
  • Assigned Tasks: "Sarah, can you follow up with the client?"
  • Implied Actions: "We should probably check with legal before proceeding"
  • Deadlines & Timelines: "Let's have this ready for the board meeting next month"

Smart Organization

Every captured to-do item includes:

  • Clear, actionable descriptions
  • Automatic assignee detection
  • Todoist-compatible due dates when mentioned
  • Session context for easy reference
  • Direct links back to the original conversation

Seamless Management

Once captured, you have complete control:

  • Edit Descriptions: Clarify or expand on automatically generated tasks
  • Mark Complete: Check off finished items with satisfaction
  • Delete Irrelevant: Remove tasks that are no longer needed
  • Export Everywhere: Send to your favorite task management tool via Zapier

While Others Take Notes, You Take Action

Traditional meeting tools give you transcripts and summaries. Hedy gives you a clear path forward. Every conversation becomes a launchpad for meaningful progress rather than just another item in your digital pile.

Accuracy That Matters

Our AI doesn't just identify keywords—it understands context, relationships, and implied commitments. The difference between "we should consider expanding the team" and "we will hire two new developers by Q2" is crucial, and Hedy gets it right.
