AI meeting notes from a whiteboard — in ten seconds.
Short answer
BoardSnap is an iOS app that generates structured meeting notes from a whiteboard photo automatically. Snap the board, VisionKit corrects the perspective, and BoardSnap AI produces a summary of key points plus a tri-state action item list in about ten seconds — organized by project, with persistent memory for follow-up questions.
## Why whiteboard photos don't become meeting notes
After a whiteboard meeting, the typical path: someone photographs the board, sends it to a Slack channel, and the photo sits unread. The action items stay on the board (or get erased), and the same topics come up next week.
The gap isn't the capture — it's the transformation from photo to structured notes. That's what BoardSnap closes.
## What BoardSnap produces from a whiteboard
After you snap a board, BoardSnap AI returns:
Summary — A concise paragraph identifying the purpose of the meeting and the key decisions or conclusions. Written in plain English, not a bullet dump.
Action items — A tri-state list:
- Open (not started)
- In-progress (someone's working on it)
- Done (completed)
Each action item can expand into AI-generated subtasks. Tap the item to edit text or change status inline.
Chat (Pro) — Ask follow-up questions about the board. "What's the rationale behind the API redesign decision?" "Which tasks are unassigned?" BoardSnap answers from the board content and, in a project context, from all previous boards.
## How this differs from audio transcription tools
Otter.ai, Fireflies, and similar tools transcribe the conversation in a meeting. This produces a raw transcript of everything said — useful for context, but not pre-digested into decisions and tasks.
Whiteboard meeting notes from BoardSnap are different: they represent what the team decided to write down — the distilled, agreed-upon version of what matters. Both have value, and they complement each other.
## Project memory
Every board in BoardSnap belongs to a Project. The project accumulates board history. When you ask a follow-up question two weeks after the meeting, BoardSnap AI can pull from all previous boards in that project to give context-aware answers. This makes the meeting notes cumulative, not just per-session.
## Sharing the notes
Export via the iOS share sheet as plain text — it pastes cleanly into Notion, Confluence, Slack, email, or any PM tool. There's no proprietary format to deal with.
Frequently asked
Can BoardSnap identify who owns each action item?
If names are written on the board next to tasks, BoardSnap reads them and includes them in the action items. Ownership that was only spoken, not written, won't appear — the app reads the board, not the room.
How do the meeting notes get shared with the team?
Via the iOS share sheet — plain text export that pastes into Slack, email, Notion, or any other tool. There's no native integration that pushes to Slack automatically, but the formatted text is clean enough to paste directly.
