A decision log that writes itself every Friday

Every decision made across this week's meetings, compiled with its context -- so 'why did we decide that' always has an answer.

Decisions are the most valuable output of meetings and the least preserved. They live in someone's memory, half a Slack thread, and a doc that was never updated. Three months later, a new exec asks why the team chose the expensive option and nobody can reconstruct the reasoning.

Companies re-litigate old decisions constantly -- not because people love arguing, but because the record doesn't exist.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine runs every Friday. It goes through the week's meetings, extracts every decision that was made, and compiles them into a single log: what was decided, the context around it, and who was in the room.

Keep the log running and 'why did we decide that' becomes a search, not an archaeological dig.

What it uses

Meeting Notes captures decisions as they happen, and your calendar ties each one back to the meeting where it was made.

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
  2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
  3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.

FAQ

Does it capture informal decisions?

If it was decided in a captured meeting, it can land in the log. Side conversations in hallways stay famously unrecorded, as they should.

Can I filter by project or team?

Yes. Ask for the log grouped by project, team, or meeting series -- the prompt is plain English.

What does the decision log cost?

It runs on the free Basic plan. Plus costs $17 per month billed annually or $20 monthly, with a 14-day trial, for bigger routine stacks.

How is this different from meeting notes?

Notes are per meeting; the log is the decisions across all of them, deduplicated and searchable by week.
