AI meeting summary archetypes

One summary format does not fit every meeting. An executive standup requires a bulleted action checklist, while an architectural design review demands technical trade-off analysis. Oyma provides 5 deterministic summary archetypes.

The 5 built-in summary archetypes

1. General Meeting Summary

Best for cross-functional catch-ups, client calls, and company presentations:

• Executive Summary: 3–4 sentence overview of core discussion themes.
• Key Decisions: Binding choices confirmed during the conversation.
• Action Items: Structured table with owner names, tasks, and deadlines.
• Open Questions: Unresolved issues requiring offline follow-up.

2. 1-on-1 Mentorship & Catch-up

Tailored for managers and direct reports:

• Priorities & Progress: Review of ongoing initiatives since last meeting.
• Feedback & Coaching: Constructive guidance and observations.
• Career & Personal Growth: Long-term goals and professional aspirations.
• Support Needed: Actionable blockers the manager committed to resolving.

3. Daily Standup Log

Optimized for rapid agile teams:

• Yesterday’s Completed Work: Shipped commits and resolved issues.
• Today’s Commitments: Planned tasks for the next 24 hours.
• Active Blockers: Dependencies requiring external intervention.

4. Sprint Retrospective

Built for post-launch team debriefs:

• What Went Well: Successes and high-performing practices.
• What Could Be Improved: Frictional bottlenecks and edge cases.
• Process Adjustments: Concrete experimental changes for the upcoming sprint.

5. Design & Architecture Review

Designed for staff engineers and product designers:

• Proposed Solution: Architectural topology or UX pattern under review.
• Evaluated Trade-Offs: Latency, security, maintainability, and complexity.
• Required Revisions: Prerequisites before formal approval.
