“So What? The Problem with Summary Apps and How MAKi Is Different”

Oct 8, 2025

Every week, a new app claims to “summarize your meetings with AI.”
You turn it on, it listens quietly, and then you get a nice paragraph recap of what was said.
It feels smart until you realize… nothing actually moved forward.

Let’s break it down.

🧠 The Problem with Summary Apps

1. They summarize, but they don’t execute.
Most tools today stop at text summaries. They tell you what happened, but not what to do next.

2. Action items are buried inside paragraphs.
Sure, the meeting is summarized. But now you’re left hunting for every “we should” and “let’s do this” hidden inside it.

3. You still have to copy everything somewhere else.
To make progress, you open another tool — Notion, Asana, Jira — and manually create tasks again.
You’ve just automated the listening part, not the doing part.

That’s not productivity. That’s busywork with extra steps.

⚡️ The MAKi Way: From Conversation to Execution

MAKi doesn’t stop at summarizing — it acts.
When your team chats or meets inside MAKi, the system doesn’t just capture what you said.
It recognizes actionable items in real time and instantly turns them into trackable tasks.

No switching tools.
No manual input.
No “What do we do next?” moments.

Your conversation itself becomes the source of truth —
organized, assigned, and ready to move forward.

💬 In Other Words

Summaries tell you what happened.
MAKi helps you make things happen.

Because at the end of the day,
your work doesn’t live in a paragraph — it lives in action.
