Features
Structured summary output Produces a TL;DR, key decisions with who made them, action items with owners, open questions, and concrete next steps in a consistent format.
Signal over noise Skips redundant “+1” comments, off-topic tangents, superseded proposals, and resolved sub-discussions to focus on what actually matters.
Edge case handling Flags stale threads where decisions may be outdated, presents heated discussions neutrally, clearly states when no decision was reached, and breaks long threads into phases.
Decision attribution Links each key decision to who made it and provides context, making it easy to follow up or understand the reasoning behind choices.
