Can AI really write professional board meeting minutes?

Yes. Beaver captures a live transcript of your board meeting, then uses AI to generate structured minutes - attendees, agenda items, decisions made, actions assigned, and next steps. The output is formatted professionally and is ready to review and distribute. You always have the full transcript to verify accuracy.

How accurate are AI-generated meeting minutes?

Beaver's AI works from the full transcript of your meeting. It reliably captures decisions and action items. For formal governance minutes where precision is critical, we recommend reviewing the AI output against the transcript before distribution - which takes a fraction of the time of writing from scratch.

Can I edit the AI minutes before distributing them?

Yes. The AI-generated minutes and summary are editable. You can refine the output before sharing. The full transcript is always available alongside for reference.

Does Beaver record audio for board meetings?

No. Beaver transcribes meetings into text only - no audio is ever recorded or stored. This is particularly important for board and governance meetings where audio recording may raise legal or confidentiality concerns.

Which platforms do AI meeting minutes work with?

Beaver supports Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. For board meetings held on these platforms, Beaver joins as a participant, captures the transcript, and generates structured minutes automatically.

Is board meeting data secure with Beaver?

Yes. No audio is recorded, all data is encrypted at rest, access is restricted to your account and explicitly shared users, data is never shared with third parties, and meeting content is never used to train AI models. Beaver is GDPR compliant.
