Follow-through
Meeting follow-ups that get written, and promises that get kept
When a meeting ends, Bumblebee offers to draft the recap to the people who were in it, with the action items, and saves it in your Gmail Drafts for you to check. It keeps every promise made, by you or to you, and reminds you before one comes due. When a reply stalls, it has a nudge ready.
Bumblebee is in a closed alpha. Sign in with your email; if you are not invited yet, you join the waitlist and we write when a place opens.
How it works
- 01
Tell it what happened
Type or say what was agreed, during the meeting or straight after. A sentence or two is enough.
- 02
The recap is drafted for you
When the meeting ends it offers once to draft the recap. It is written in your style and saved in your Gmail Drafts. Nothing is sent.
- 03
The promises are kept
Action items become promises with a source and a date. You get a reminder before each is due and a nudge when someone goes quiet.
How is the meeting recap written?
The recap is written from the meeting brief and what you told your assistant since the meeting began, in the style it learned from your sent emails. It is addressed to the people who were in the meeting and saved as a draft in your Gmail.
It never invents a decision. Where it does not know something, it leaves a note in square brackets for you to fill in. You can edit the draft in Gmail or ask for changes in the conversation, and by default it is sent only after you approve it on a card.
Where does it find my promises?
From three places: what you say in your conversation with it, your sent email, and meeting recaps. Each promise keeps where it came from, who it is with and when it is due, so you can open the email or message behind it.
It also notices what other people promise you in their emails. Their email can only add something owed to you, never something you promised. All of it is listed on the Memory page under Promises.
How do nudges work when someone goes quiet?
When someone has not replied for a while, you get a suggestion like "No reply from Priya on MSA for 5 days. Want me to draft a nudge?". One tap drafts it in your Drafts, and by default nothing is sent until you approve it.
When three or more people are waiting on you at once, they come together on one card ("3 people are waiting on you") and you answer each line on its own. Replies you have already sent and threads you have archived drop off before you see them.
When does it remind me about a promise?
The morning before it is due. If you said you would send the CFO revised numbers by Friday, a suggestion arrives on Thursday morning and offers to start on them. You can answer Start on it, Later, Done already, Not now, or Fewer like this.
It respects your quiet hours and your daily limit on interruptions, and anything that can wait goes into your next brief.
What it won't do, or doesn't do yet
- It does not record or transcribe meetings. Recaps come from the brief and from what you tell it.
- Recaps and nudges are drafts. Nothing is sent until you approve it, unless you have set a rule in Settings that lets it send.
- Promises are read from Gmail, meeting recaps and your conversation. Outlook is not supported yet.
- It can miss a promise worded vaguely. You can add or correct one any time by telling it.
Questions people ask
Does it listen to my meetings?
No. Bumblebee does not join calls, record or transcribe. The recap is written from the meeting brief and what you tell it, which can be a sentence typed as you walk out.
Will it send the recap automatically?
No. The recap is saved in your Gmail Drafts. You can send it yourself from Gmail, or approve it on a card and Bumblebee sends it, with ten seconds to undo.
How do I see everything I have promised?
Ask "what did I promise people this week?" or open Memory, then Promises. Each one shows who it is with, when it is due and where it came from.
Does it track what other people promised me?
Yes. Promises others make to you in their emails, and ones you mention in conversation, are tracked as owed to you. When someone goes quiet on something they owe you, you get a nudge ready to approve.
Can I mark a promise as done?
Yes. Press Done next to it on the Promises list, answer "Done already" on its reminder, or just say so.
What if it gets a promise wrong?
Tell it in the conversation and it corrects what it keeps. If you forget the message a promise came from, the promise goes with it.
