Can Wave track action items from project meetings?

Yes. Wave's AI summary lists the action items from each meeting, with owners and due dates where they were said aloud, next to the decisions and risks discussed.

Does Wave work for remote standups?

Yes. The Wave desktop app for Mac and Windows records Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles from your side without joining the call. A Wave bot can also join scheduled Zoom, Meet, and Teams standups from a Google or Outlook calendar.

How do project managers share Wave summaries with the team?

Post recaps to a Slack channel with Wave for Slack, send the summary to a Notion database, share a link or email invite, or use Wave's Zapier trigger to send each finished summary to another tool.

Can I search past project decisions in Wave?

Yes. Every Wave meeting is searchable, and Wave Assistant answers questions like "when did we move the launch date?" across all your recorded meetings, citing the meeting each answer came from.

Is project meeting data secure in Wave?

Wave is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant for the Security criteria. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are encrypted in transit and at rest, are never used to train AI models, and belong to you.

The AI Note Taker Built for Project Managers

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Wave AI is an AI note taker for project managers: it records standups, sprint reviews, and stakeholder updates from your desktop without a bot, then writes a summary with decisions and action items you can post to Slack or Notion. It works on Mac, Windows, the web, iPhone, and Android, and is free for 30 minutes a month.

How project managers use Wave

How do project managers use an AI note taker?

Project managers record their recurring meetings with the Wave desktop app or a calendar bot, and Wave writes a summary of decisions, risks, and action items for each. The recap goes where the team already works: a Slack channel, a Notion database, or any tool Zapier reaches.

Record: start the Wave desktop app for Mac or Windows, or let the Wave bot join scheduled Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls from your Google or Outlook calendar.
Review: check the summary's decisions and action items, and edit anything that needs it.
Distribute: post the recap to Slack with Wave for Slack, send it to Notion, or share a link.
Follow up: ask Wave what was decided about a risk three sprints ago and get the answer with a link to the meeting.

Can Wave send meeting notes to my project tools?

Yes. Wave for Slack can post meeting recaps to a channel, the Notion integration sends a meeting's summary to the database you pick as a new page, and Wave's Zapier trigger fires when each session is ready so a Zap can send it to any of Zapier's 8,000+ apps.

Stakeholders Dispute What Was Decided

Scope arguments end faster with a timestamped transcript of the meeting where it was agreed.

Write-Ups Eat Into Delivery Time

Documenting meetings after the fact takes time from the project. Wave's summary is ready shortly after the call.
