How do I keep better 1:1 meeting notes with AI?
Short answer
Record the 1:1, with the other person's agreement, and turn on Acta's 1:1 check-in template. Acta writes wins, blockers and the help needed, feedback both ways, growth goals, action items and topics for next time, in the same structure every week, and tracks the action items across meetings.
