How Meeting Notes Action Item Extractor works

Press Load model once: your browser downloads Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned (web build) (2.0 GB) from this site and keeps it in its cache. Then add your text and press Extract locally. The model runs on this device using your graphics card, so nothing you enter is sent to a server. Until the model is loaded, or if your device cannot run it, the tool falls back to a simple keyword check and labels the result as the fallback.

Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned (web build) is a small open language model from Google. The tool sends it the instruction below plus your text, asks for a JSON answer with fixed fields, and shows each field as a card. It runs at temperature 0, so the same input gives the same answer on the same device, though different graphics cards can word it slightly differently.

Inputs longer than 6,000 characters are cut to that length before they reach the model, and the result says so. The model only sees what you paste: it does not look anything up.

The instruction the model gets

You read meeting notes and pull out the action items. An action item is a task someone agreed to do. Decisions and status updates are not action items.

What it returns

  • Action items: One entry per task, written as 'Owner: task (due date)'. Use 'Unassigned' when no owner is named and leave out the due date when none is given.
  • Decisions: Things the group decided that are not tasks.
  • Blockers: Anything the notes say is blocked or waiting on someone else.
  • Missing owners or dates: Tasks that have no owner or no due date, so someone should follow up.

Worked example

The model's output for the built-in sample, recorded on a desktop browser. Your run may word things slightly differently.

Meeting notes: Sam will send revised contract by Friday. Priya owns QA checklist. Move launch review to Tuesday. Blocked until finance approves vendor invoice.

Limitations

  • Small language models make mistakes: they can miss an item, merge two, or state something more confidently than the text supports. Check the result against your input before you rely on it.
  • It needs WebGPU and about 8 GB of memory, so it is offered on desktops and laptops, not on phones and tablets. Devices that cannot run it get the keyword fallback, clearly labelled.
  • Results describe the input you gave, not the real-world situation behind it. Review them yourself before acting.

Good uses

  • Triage calendar and scheduling notes before deeper review
  • Prepare consistent labels for repeat workflows
  • Reduce manual sorting on small batches
  • Keep sensitive drafts in the browser preview

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Meeting Notes Action Item Extractor

No. The model files download from this site once, and then everything runs in your browser tab. The text you enter is never sent to a server, and closing the tab discards it.
