Aware Lens MinutesModern meetings · Minutes
Minutes you can sign.
The draft reads the whole meeting in sequence and writes minutes in your format. Everything it writes is checked against the transcript before you see it — a 3-hour meeting drafted in 45 seconds.
What is Aware Lens Minutes?
Aware Lens Minutes is AI meeting minutes software for councils, boards and commissions. It drafts minutes from the full meeting transcript in your own format — a 3-hour meeting in about 45 seconds — checks every sentence against the transcript, and takes votes and attendance from the clerk’s console. The clerk reviews and signs.
A draft you have to re-check line by line is a second job.
Generic transcription summaries read well and are quietly wrong — a plausible name, a rounded dollar figure, a tally that was never announced. A clerk who has been burned once re-checks everything, and the tool has saved nothing. The Aware Lens draft is not permitted to invent. That is the whole design, and why a clerk can sign it after a review rather than a rewrite.
The tedious half, done. The accountable half, yours.
In your format
The same learning that produces your agenda produces your minutes — headings, order, attestation block.
Follows the meeting, not the agenda
Items taken out of order, combined or skipped are recorded as they actually happened.
Checked before you see it
A name nobody said, a figure nobody read out, a tally nobody announced — removed and flagged, never left in.
Votes from the clerk
Motions, movers, seconders and every member’s position come from the vote console, not audio guesswork.
Closed sessions stay closed
Closed sessions never enter the pipeline — only the title and the statute they were closed under.
You review. You sign.
The draft is a draft. The legal record stays in the clerk’s hands.
Minutes in your format, from the whole meeting.
Section by section, in the order it happened. Names, figures and quotations the recording doesn’t support are removed, not guessed — and the record stays yours to verify and the body’s to approve.

What clerks ask about Minutes.
How long does a draft take?
A 3-hour meeting is drafted in about 45 seconds, in your town’s minutes format.
Can the draft include something that was not said?
No. Every sentence is checked against the transcript before you see it. Unsupported names, figures or tallies are removed and flagged for review.
Where do votes and attendance come from?
From the Aware Lens Vote console, recorded by the clerk during the meeting. Audio alone attributes votes correctly only about 12% of the time.
Are closed sessions processed?
No. Closed sessions never enter the pipeline — no transcript and no summary, only the title and the statute cited.
