Meeting Notes

Meeting Notes on a spatial canvas.

Good meeting notes are useless if they're disconnected from your tasks, projects, and follow-ups. Melo lets you take meeting notes on a spatial canvas where your action items, project context, and AI assistant are right next to your notes — so nothing falls through the cracks.

What is meeting notes?

Meeting Notesis more than a feature — it's a way of working. Most tools claim to offer meeting notes, but they bolt it onto rigid structures that don't match how you actually think. Melo approaches it differently: a spatial canvas where your meeting notes tools live alongside everything else you work with.

Instead of switching between apps for notes, tasks, AI, and web references, you tile them all on one board. Your meeting notes setup becomes a visual workspace that you navigate spatially — the way your brain naturally organizes information.
