In a workplace of AI meeting summaries, the real gap is personal follow-through. Generic meeting notes pile up in unopened inboxes; ownership blurs; action decays.

Flash Notes is a meeting-room printer that listens to the discussion via the room computer, identifies stakeholders, and prints personalised takeaway slips containing only that person’s action items.
