Summarize this thread or doc and what's waiting on me

Minda reads a thread, doc or page from start to end and tells you what was decided, what is open and what is waiting on you. It is a ready-made task for the SI agent in Minda Super Intelligence. It runs when you start it. It works with Gmail, Slack and Google Docs.

In Minda: Tasks → New → Browse tasks → Summarize this thread or doc and what's waiting on me. Minda Super Intelligence for Windows is coming soon.

  • Docs
  • Gmail
  • Slack
  • Google Docs

What you get

  • Read in full first Minda reads the replies, comments and linked attachments before it summarizes anything.

  • What is waiting on you You get what is waiting on you with its deadline, and who is waiting on whom.

  • Quotes you can check The 3 most important quotes are listed with who said each one.

  • Unclear stays unclear Minda does not fill gaps with assumptions and marks anything ambiguous as 'unclear'.

Why use this?

Minda reads the whole thread, doc or page, including the replies, comments and attachments it links to, before it writes anything. Then it tells you what it is about, what was decided, the open questions and what is waiting on you. It only reads, so it replies to no one and edits nothing.
