Beyond Minutes: The Strategy Function

Stop just organizing notes. The Strategy function turns Minutes.AI into your core meeting partner, converting discussions into high-impact actions, all powered by ChatGPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.

What is the Strategy Function?

Strategy is the decision-support layer that elevates your minutes from a simple record to an actionable plan. It's one of our most popular features because it moves you from 'what was said' to 'what to do next'.

Instead of just a summary, Strategy analyzes the entire discussion using advanced AI to provide six distinct, actionable outputs:

  • Boost — Positives & How to Amplify Them: Identifies what's working and suggests concrete ways to scale that success.
  • Counter — Constructive Opposition & Improvements: Deliberately provides an opposing viewpoint or identifies risks, suggesting how to fix the underlying issues.
  • Top Issue — The Core Problem: Pinpoints the single most important question or conflict from the meeting that needs to be solved.
  • Logical Thinking — A structured, step-by-step solution for the Top Issue.
  • Critical Thinking — Challenges the core assumptions, biases, and unasked questions behind the Top Issue.
  • Lateral Thinking — A 'breakthrough' idea that leaps beyond the obvious, conventional solutions for the Top Issue.

Get Boost, Counter, Top Issue, and three thinking modes at a single glance.

How It Works

  1. Generate your meeting minutes as usual (iOS, Android, or Web).
  2. Tap the 'Strategy' button to analyze the full transcript with ChatGPT-5 & Gemini 2.5 Pro.
  3. Receive your 6-part analysis: Boost, Counter, Top Issue, and the three thinking modes.
  4. Share, copy, or export the insights directly into your task management system or report.
Outputs adapt to language and domain; concision by default for quick reading.

See It in Action: A Real-World Example

Example Minutes: 'Solar Chill' Summer Blend Meeting

  • Topic: New summer limited blend 'Solar Chill' (cold brew + passion fruit + mint).
  • Decision: Proceed with 'Solar Chill' as the main summer product. Keep the name.
  • To-Dos: Design team to create mockups. Final recipe to be uploaded to 'FlavorSync'.
  • Risk: 15% of staff feedback noted the drink was 'too sour'.
  • Summary: Product rated highly for concept, name, and SNS potential.

Strategy Output (Powered by AI)

Boost
  • Boost: 74% 'would drink again' is a powerful indicator of market fit. Action: Deep-dive into the 15% 'too sour' feedback. Don't just reduce sourness; consider A/B testing a 'sweetness-adjusted' option in pilot stores to maximize appeal without losing the core product identity.
Counter
  • Counter: The meeting dismissed the 'Spice-Infusion' proposal without discussion. Was this a missed opportunity given market trends (e.g., chai, turmeric)? The decision to make 'Bloom Latte' store-exclusive might also be underestimating its potential. Action: Re-evaluate the 'spice' concept against market data. Test 'Bloom Latte' online or via partnerships, not just in-store.
Top Issue
  • Top Issue: How to successfully launch two distinct limited-run products ('Solar Chill' and 'Bloom Latte') and optimize their respective go-to-market strategies (mainstream vs. niche).
Logical
  • Logical: 1. Define target segments for each product (Solar Chill = younger, SNS-focused; Bloom Latte = health-conscious, relaxation). 2. Create distinct value propositions (Refreshment vs. Wellness). 3. Offer 'syrup-level' customization for Solar Chill to handle 'sour' feedback.
Critical
  • Critical: Is the team biased by 'SNS-hype' and past successes? The dismissal of the 'spice' idea suggests a potential blind spot. Action: Implement a quantitative scoring model for new proposals (cost, trend-fit, brand-fit) to remove subjective bias from decision-making.
Lateral
  • Lateral: Break free from the 'beverage' framework. Action: Develop a 'non-drinkable' version of the blend. Create a 'Solar Chill' room fragrance or 'Bloom Latte' bath products. This expands the brand into lifestyle goods, reaches non-coffee customers, and creates new revenue streams.
