About promisedby

The gap we close

Every meeting produces promises. Someone says they'll send the revised timeline by Thursday, someone else agrees to confirm a decision with another team. Then the call ends, and almost none of it reaches the tools where the work actually happens.

Notetakers already solved the listening problem — they capture everything that was said. Task trackers already solved the doing problem. What sits between them is a person re-reading a transcript and retyping its commitments by hand, which is the step that quietly gets skipped on a busy week.

What we built

promisedby is that missing step and nothing else. It reads the meetings you already record, pulls out the commitments with an owner and a date, and shows them to you as a short list to approve. Approved items file themselves into Notion or Linear. It takes about ten seconds, and it replaces a job nobody enjoys doing.

How we think about it

You approve before anything is filed. Models misread meetings — they miss items, invent detail, and mistake who was speaking. Nothing reaches your tracker until a person has looked at it.
Every task carries its evidence. Each item keeps the quote it came from, so “did we actually agree to this?” has an answer instead of an argument.
We stay in the gap. We are not trying to become your notetaker or your task tracker. Both already exist and you already like yours.
Your meetings aren't our training data. Content is processed to give you a result and for nothing else. The privacy policy names every provider that touches it.

What happens to your meeting content

This is the question worth answering carefully, because using promisedby means letting something read the transcripts of your conversations.

Transcripts come from the source you connect, not from a bot that joins your calls. promisedby never sits in a meeting; it reads what your notetaker already recorded.
Transcript text is sent to one AI provider — Anthropic — to extract the commitments in it, and for nothing else. Under their commercial terms it is not used to train models.
Connection tokens are stored encrypted. They exist so tasks can be filed on your behalf, and disconnecting an integration revokes that access.
Content is kept while your account is open. Delete a meeting or close the account and the associated records go with it.
A brief is private until you publish it. Publishing creates a link anyone holding it can open — that is the point of it — and unpublishing revokes that link.

The privacy policy names every provider that touches your data and what each one receives. If something there is unclear, that is a bug in the writing — tell us and it gets fixed.

What we will not build

A short list, because what a tool refuses to do says more about it than its feature list:

Filing without review. The ten-second queue is the product. Removing it would move a cleanup job onto you rather than taking one away.
A meeting bot. Nothing from promisedby will ever join your call. There are enough of those in the room already.
Becoming a task tracker. Tasks belong in the tool your team already opens every morning.
Selling or training on your meetings. Not a roadmap item, not a future revenue line.

Where it is today

Being straight about the edges, since finding them after signing up is worse than reading them here:

Fathom is the only supported source. Other notetakers are the most requested addition, and requests genuinely order the roadmap.
Notion and Linear are the destinations. Both file real tasks with owners, dates and evidence quotes — see Fathom to Notion or Fathom to Linear for exactly what lands where.
Extraction is not perfect. It misses items and occasionally proposes one nobody committed to. That is precisely why nothing files until you have looked at it.

Get in touch

We read everything that comes in, and the product is early enough that a single email can change what gets built next. Support questions, privacy requests and “this misread my meeting” reports all go to the same place, and we aim to reply within two business days. Contact us.
