Turn government and public meeting transcripts into structured minutes
City councils, boards, committees, and public agencies produce a lot of recorded meeting time — and every one of those meetings usually needs to become a written record. Clerune turns a meeting transcript into a structured draft of decisions and action items, so building that record starts from a complete first draft instead of a blank page and hours of note review.
What a public meeting record needs
Public and administrative meetings tend to need the same core things a written record captures: what was discussed, what was decided, and what happens next. Clerune's transcript analysis produces exactly that structure:
- A summary and key discussion points for each agenda item covered
- Decisions captured as their own structured, reviewable entries
- Action items with an owner and deadline, when the transcript actually states them
- Finished minutes composed from that same analysis — no separate, inconsistent second draft
You review and finalize — Clerune never publishes on its own
Every decision, action item, and line of the draft minutes is editable before it becomes the record. Clerune is built to avoid inventing attendees, decisions, or deadlines that the transcript doesn't actually support — anything uncertain is left blank rather than guessed — but the clerk, secretary, or administrator reviewing the draft is always the one who confirms it's accurate and ready to be official.
From draft to filed record
Once minutes are finalized, export them as a clean PDF in one click — ready to file, distribute to members, or post publicly, depending on your organization's own process. Action items don't have to stay text in the minutes, either: convert any of them into a trackable task with an owner and status (see action item extraction), so follow-up work from a public meeting doesn't get lost between sessions.
Where this fits
- City, town, or village council meetings
- School board and district committee meetings
- HOA, condo association, and community board meetings

Clerune's Free plan covers this workflow at no cost, with monthly limits on AI-assisted features; Pro raises those limits for organizations running meetings on a regular schedule. See pricing for details.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Clerune handle long public meeting transcripts?
- Yes — council, board, and committee meetings often run long, and Clerune is built to process a full transcript rather than a short excerpt. Paste the text or upload a .txt/.md file and Clerune analyzes the whole thing.
- Does Clerune track motions and vote counts?
- Not as a dedicated feature today. Clerune extracts decisions and action items from what's actually said in the transcript — if a motion, a vote, or its outcome is described in the transcript, it can appear as a decision, but Clerune does not have a specialized parliamentary-procedure or roll-call-vote tracker.
- Is Clerune compliant with open-meeting or public-records law?
- Clerune doesn't make legal-compliance claims — record-keeping and public-disclosure requirements vary by jurisdiction and organization type. What Clerune provides is a structured, editable, exportable minutes workflow you review and finalize yourself, so you stay in control of what becomes the official record.
- Can minutes be exported for public filing or a public website?
- Yes — once minutes are reviewed and finalized, export them as a clean PDF with one click.
