Turn Meeting Notes Into Assigned Tasks

For meetings that end with "someone should..." DuckyHelper reads the notes in Google Docs, finds every action item, works out who owns it and when it's due, and creates the tasks in Asana in one go.

WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.

Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

Sign in to Google Docs to keep going

DuckyHelper is built not to type your passwords or card numbers. Sign in yourself, then it picks up where it stopped.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Turn the action items in these meeting notes into Asana tasks with owners and due dates."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Google Docs and Asana and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

Everyone agrees on next steps, then the notes get filed and nothing happens.
