How It Works

No new hardware. No software to install. No IT project.

1

Upload your meeting recording

Upload any audio file from your existing recording setup — no new hardware required. Supports MP3, WAV, M4A, and more.

2

AI transcribes and structures the minutes

BoardBreeze transcribes the audio, identifies agenda items, motions, votes, and action items, and formats the output into a structured minutes document.

3

Review and export

Your clerk reviews the AI draft (typically 20-30 minutes of review for a 2-hour meeting), then exports to Word (.docx) or Google Drive for distribution.

Built for Public Bodies

BoardBreeze is built around how public governing bodies keep minutes, not repurposed from a business meeting tool.

Open Meeting Law Essentials

Every draft records what open meeting minutes are expected to show: who was present and whether there was a quorum, public comment, the language of each motion, and how each member voted. Your clerk reviews and approves it before it becomes the record.

Ready for Records Requests

Approved minutes export to Word, tagged PDF, Google Drive or email, so the file you hand over for a public records request is the same one the board approved.

No Recording Liability

BoardBreeze never joins your meeting. You upload your own recording or paste the link to your public meeting video, and recordings are deleted after 4 days.

Closed Session Handled Carefully

Upload your agenda and any item marked closed session gets only the recess and reconvene times and any action reported in open session. The draft never summarizes closed session discussion, which suits Brown Act agencies in California.

Robert's Rules of Order

Identifies motions, seconds, amendments, and votes, and labels each parliamentary action the way your clerk already writes it. If a mover or vote cannot be heard, the draft marks it instead of guessing.

Action Minutes

Many councils and special districts keep action minutes. On Pro and Enterprise, choose Action minutes in Settings and every draft records only motions, movers and votes, with no discussion summaries.

Long Meeting Support

City council and county board meetings run long. Pro and Enterprise handle meetings up to 12 hours.
