Collect Otter.ai action items from all your meetings

1. Open the Action Items tab next to the Calendar tab on the Otter home page.
2. Review the items assigned to you across all conversations; click the three dots next to one and choose View in transcript to see where in the call it came from.
3. Click an item to edit its text, check the box when it is done to move it to Completed, or choose Copy all action items to paste the list into another document.
4. To hand an item to someone else, click the three dots, choose the assignee line and pick a new user; the item leaves your list at once.
5. Items assigned to other people do not show up in your list, so the full picture of a call stays inside its own conversation.

Every Friday, list my open Otter action items from this week's meetings, grouped by meeting, and mark the ones I tell you are done.

1. 01

   Pull your open items

   list_action_items returns the open items assigned to you, the same set as the Action Items tab, each with the conversation it came from. Your agent pages through the cursor until the list ends.

2. 02

   Group by meeting

   Items are grouped by conversation and ordered by meeting date, so you read the week as a list of calls instead of one long pile. Duplicates across meetings are merged and the duplicate meetings are named.

3. 03

   Look at the call only when needed

   An item whose text is unclear, such as "Send it over", gets one get_conversation call for the summary of its meeting, so the report says what "it" is.

4. 04

   Close only what you named

   complete_action_item runs for the items you say are done, and for nothing else. An item completed by mistake is reopened with the same call and completed set to false.

5. 05

   Flag what moved to others

   If you ask to hand an item to a colleague, assign_action_item asks for your OK first, because the item then appears in their list and disappears from yours.
