Prepare the decision summary for an agenda item

The decision summary is the most requested and longest document to write before a meeting: summarize the file, argue, stay neutral. The agent structures and drafts from the file's documents. The employee approves instead of drafting.

Observed use

  • In a city of nearly 12,000 residents, the team chains two agents: the summary, then the presentation for council
  • On that account, all 32 assigned licences are active
  • The Decision summary agent can run a web search to enrich the context

No public time figure for this specific task.

01Before, after

The same task, before and with Munia.

Today

  • Gather bids, applicable bylaws and correspondence
  • Summarize while staying neutral, then argue
  • Redo the layout for each item
  • Then produce the presentation, often the day before

With Munia

  • Upload the file's documents
  • Get a structured summary: context, options, recommendation
  • Chain the council presentation in a second request
  • Reread, adjust the recommendation, sign
02The recipe

How it is done, step by step.

  1. Gather the file

    Bids, applicable bylaw, correspondence, departmental opinions. PDFs and Word files are enough.

  2. Ask for the summary

    The Decision summary agent produces context, analysis, options and recommendation, in your template if you attach it.

  3. Approve the substance

    The recommendation is yours. The agent argues, it does not decide.

  4. Then the presentation, in a second request

    A second request produces the council presentation content from the approved summary.

People stay in control, start to finish

The agent prepares, the employee approves. Nothing is adopted, published, sent or destroyed without a person who reread it. That is the rule on every page of this site and in every Munia agent.
