How to generate governance-grade board meeting minutes with HappyScribe?
HappyScribe records the call
HappyScribe joins your Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet as a participant and records audio and video. The secretary stays in the room instead of typing, free to follow the debate and prompt the chair to confirm the vote count.
Your board minutes, ready to circulate
Governance-grade minutes land in the secretary's inbox moments after the call ends. Attendees and quorum logged, every motion captured with its proposer, seconder, and vote outcome, and every resolution attributed to the director who tabled it. Export to a signing-ready PDF for the chair, or to DOCX for redline review by counsel.
Do more with every board meeting.
Structured governance output
Minutes arrive pre-formatted with attendees, apologies, quorum, agenda items, motions, vote outcomes, and resolutions as adopted. The secretary reviews and forwards, usually within the hour.
Chat with a meeting
Ask a question about any past board recording and get an answer with the exact timestamp. No more scrubbing a three-hour audit committee session to find who objected to the auditor's fee.
Chat across meetings
Search across every board and committee meeting you have recorded. Find when a resolution was passed, who proposed it, and whether it was amended two quarters later.
Signing-ready PDF export
Export minutes with the chair's signature block, adoption date, and page numbers. Drop into the board portal, forward to DocuSign, or print for wet-ink signature at the next sitting.
Meeting recording archive
Every board call retained with audio and video as the underlying record. Revisit the source whenever counsel, an auditor, or a regulator needs it.
Controlled access and retention
Workspace permissions restrict board packs to directors, the secretary, and named delegates. Configure retention per your records policy and revoke access automatically when a director's term ends.
Custom committee templates
Different templates for main board, audit, remuneration, nomination, and risk committees. Directors see only the committees they sit on, with distinct distribution lists per template.
Speaker identification
Every director on the call labeled automatically. See who raised each concern, who seconded each motion, and who voted against the resolution, with attribution that holds up under auditor or shareholder review.
The AI Notetaker is a real game-changer for us. There's no need to write everything during meetings anymore; now I can actually engage.

GOVERNANCE
The board meeting ends. The minutes are ready for the chair.
Attendees, quorum, motions, and resolutions, each attributed to the right director. One source of truth the chair can sign and the board can adopt at the next sitting, with timestamped links back to the exact moment a fiduciary concern was raised. If your meetings are internal team syncs or client calls rather than formal sittings, see Meeting minutes for the general use case.

Executive Summary
Key resolutions highlighted, open questions flagged for the next sitting, and action items assigned to named directors or the secretary. A one-page brief the chair reads before signing, and a useful catch-up for directors who missed the call.

Generally good, though not so accurate when there is background noise

HappyScribe is a great product. Saves me so much time and the subtitles are easier to read than what may automatically come with YT.

Every question you're about to Google.
What are AI board meeting minutes?
AI board meeting minutes are governance-grade records generated automatically from a recording of a board call. HappyScribe captures attendees, quorum, motions, votes, and resolutions with speaker attribution, then delivers them in a format the chair can review and sign. The record covers what is statutorily required without the off-topic chat before the meeting was called to order.
Are AI-generated board meeting minutes legally valid?
Board meeting minutes are valid when adopted by the board at the next sitting, regardless of how they were drafted. HappyScribe produces the draft; the chair and secretary review and the board adopts. The underlying recording and timestamped transcript serve as the evidentiary backup. Jurisdictions vary, so check with counsel if your board sits under a specific statute such as the UK Companies Act 2006 or an equivalent local code.
Where are the board recordings stored?
Recordings are stored in EU data centers that are PCI DSS and ISO 27001-compliant. HappyScribe is SOC 2 Type II-certified and GDPR-compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, nothing leaves the EU, and your content is never used to train AI models. For boards under EU data sovereignty rules, nothing sits on a US server waiting for a subpoena.
Can we control who sees the board minutes and support SOX-style audit trails?
Yes. Workspace permissions are role-based, so the secretary and chair can restrict access to directors only, add named delegates such as counsel or an auditor, and revoke access when a director's term ends. The audit trail on every minute shows who viewed, edited, or exported the document, supporting SOX-style internal controls review. Exports can be watermarked with the recipient's name so a leaked minute is traceable.
Can we configure retention to match our board's records policy?
Yes. Retention policies are set at workspace level to match your fiduciary record-keeping obligations. Keep audit committee minutes for 7 years to satisfy listed-company requirements, keep founding resolutions indefinitely for a non-profit, or purge advisory-board transcripts on a shorter schedule. Deletion is permanent and the policy is enforced automatically when each window expires.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. HappyScribe offers a free plan with unlimited meeting recordings. No credit card required.
How accurate is the transcription?
95%+ across all supported languages.
What languages are supported?
150+ languages and dialects, with automatic language detection.
Can I use HappyScribe without a bot joining the meeting?
Yes. HappyScribe offers a bot-free browser recorder that captures audio from your device.
Where is my meeting data stored?
All data is stored in an EU-based data center that is PCI DSS and ISO 27001-compliant.
