Nothing is lost between two meetings.

Prepare the minutes and pick up the open actions. BrickNote works from your project folder and the meeting recording. You review, approve and issue.

These films show prepared examples on a French worked project. On your own project, check the cited passages and the model’s conclusions before approving anything.

The beta is now available on Mac. You can get started without requesting a demo.

The worksheet

A date has changed. Find the document behind it.

The schedule says 17 July; an email says 24 July. BrickNote brings the documents together and proposes a new deadline. You check the commitment before updating the action.

The path

From one meeting to the next.

Find the latest information, prepare the minutes and follow up on open actions. If you chair the progress meeting, issue the minutes and chase the trades — as contract administrator, construction manager, owner’s representative or site coordinator — BrickNote follows your week.

  1. Find your documents

    Open your project folder: minutes, drawings, photos, emails and the action log spreadsheet. BrickNote reads them where they are.

    PDF · DOCX · XLSX · EML · MSG · photos, HEIC included

  2. Check the latest information

    Ask your question. The answer brings together cited documents and proposed actions. Check the sources, review the conclusion and approve each proposal.

    Citations checked · proposals validated one by one

  3. Prepare the minutes

    Record the meeting, or paste its transcript. BrickNote drafts the minutes in the report's standard sections; you review, you issue — from your own mailbox, PDF attached.

  4. Follow up on open actions

    Every action keeps its reference from one meeting to the next. BrickNote drafts the reminders for overdue items; you decide whether to send them.

    Deadlines tracked · reminders to approve · Excel export

The minutes

Minutes ready to review and issue.

The standard sections, your letterhead, the new actions and those still open. Recipients get a PDF from your own email address.

  • Standard sections, your letterhead
  • Every action keeps its reference from one set of minutes to the next
  • Keep the issued version

A French worked example: meeting minutes, as a French coordination firm (OPC) issues them — fictional project, firm and trades.

The intelligence

What BrickNote does. What stays in your hands.

Drafts and proposals help you prepare the next steps. Check the sources before making your decision.

BrickNote doesYou stay in control
01Reads every document in the folder, scans, photos and emails included, and checks every citation: the document must exist, and the quoted passage must be in it.Each reference links to a document in your folder. Check the cited passage and the model’s conclusion before approving: a real source does not guarantee a correct interpretation.
02Proposes what the register should do: open, carry over, close, remind.You validate or dismiss each proposal. The register never moves on its own.
03Transcribes the meeting, attributes who spoke, extracts decisions, actions and defects, drafts the minutes in the report's standard sections.You proofread and correct before sending. Nothing leaves without you.

Start with the demo project, without an AI key — a French worked example. Connect a model when you want to draft from your own documents.

At your desk

Keep your way of working.

Start with your folders and your Excel action log. The trades keep receiving a PDF, with no account or app to install.

  • On your computer

    Available on Mac; Windows coming soon. BrickNote reads the folder on your disk or on your firm’s shared drive.

  • Your files stay with you

    Your documents stay on your computer. What leaves it, and nothing else: the excerpts sent to the model you configured (or nothing, with a local model), the audio if you ask for a transcription, the messages you decide to send, the update check, and usage measurement if you turned it on.

  • The model you choose

    Explore the demo project without a key. For AI drafting, connect a provider in settings. Any provider charges are separate from BrickNote. Need help getting started? Write to us.

  • Your choice of email

    Microsoft 365 is optional. Connect it to read site emails and send directly, or use your usual email client.

  • Your letterhead, your numbering

    The project sheet — client, design team, meeting cadence — heads every set of minutes. Your action log spreadsheet is imported as it is.

  • Keep a record

    The issued minutes are kept with their digital fingerprint. The activity log records what was done in BrickNote.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Will it work on my computer?

The beta is available for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The download page lists the minimum macOS version. Windows is coming later. On your phone, watch the film and save the link for your computer.

Can I try it without setting up AI?

Yes. Explore the show site in your browser without installing anything or providing a key. On Mac, the app opens on a demo project. You can also open and index a real folder without a model; AI drafting requires connecting a provider.

Can I keep my Excel action log and my minutes template?

You can import your action log from a spreadsheet. The minutes use the report's standard sections, with your letterhead and the project details in the header. Check a sample first: the beta does not promise to reproduce every existing layout exactly.

What is free, and what might I pay for?

The download page states the offer included in the available version. Versions with one free active project let you archive a project to open another; archives remain readable and exportable. Multiple projects require a named licence: ongoing use, updates included, with seats and price agreed on the order. No automatic payment. Any charges from your AI provider remain yours.

How do I start with my first project?

Explore the demo project first. Then open your project folder and import your action log if you have one. For AI drafting, connect a provider in settings. Prepare and review a first set of minutes, keeping your usual workflow alongside it during the trial.

Where is my data?

On your computer: the project folder stays where it is, and what BrickNote derives from it — worksheets, register, log — is stored on that computer. Only the documents you ask about are sent to the model you configured, at the provider you chose, under its contract. There is no BrickNote server.

What do the trades and other recipients see?

An email sent from your address, with the minutes as a PDF. Nothing to install, no page to open elsewhere, no account. The PDF carries its SHA-256 fingerprint in the footer.

Do participants have to be told?

Yes. In France, Article 226-1 of the Penal Code requires it; elsewhere, the rules of the place where the meeting is held apply, and may be stricter. BrickNote shows the announcement text before every recording and asks you to confirm that participants were informed.

Does BrickNote work in English?

Yes. Two settings, deliberately separate: the interface language, and the language your documents go out in — a coordinator in France can run the app in English and still owe their contractors French minutes. Worksheets and reminders follow the document language, with or without an AI model; drafting meeting minutes requires a connected model. Issued minutes keep their original language. Explore the English sample in the interactive show site now. In the desktop app, the sample project and guided tutorial come in English or French, following the interface language when you first open them. The illustrated specimens on this page and the published films also show a French worked project. Country-specific trade and contract profiles are planned.
