Review action items from a meeting

Approve or dismiss the action items Brev finds in a recorded meeting, and choose how Brev adds them.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

ai
Open in app
The Generated by Brev group, holding one suggestion with its Dismiss and Approve buttons, under the Dismiss all and Keep all buttons.

After a recorded meeting, Brev finds the action items people agreed to. Each comes with a proposed owner and suggested goals.

Brev proposes an owner only when the name matches exactly one attendee. Otherwise the item arrives unassigned, for the right person to claim.

Approve or dismiss suggestions #

  1. Open the meeting.
  2. Click the Action items icon at the right of the tab row (not shown on phones). The panel opens.
  3. In the 'Generated by Brev' group, click a suggestion's check to keep it, or its X to dismiss it. You can set its owner, goal, tags and due date first. Hosts also see others' pending suggestions under 'Awaiting others'.
Success check
A kept item leaves the group and shows up in its owner's Actions.

To act on every suggestion at once, use Keep all or Dismiss all in the group's header. Your suggestions from all meetings also wait in the Generated by Brev group on Actions, with the same buttons.

Check-ins Brev captured in the meeting are offered as drafts on the relevant goals, if Suggested Check-ins is on.

Choose how Brev adds action items #

Each person picks their own Agent mode. It applies to every meeting. Approval is the default. To change yours:

  1. Go to Actions.
  2. At the top right, open the menu beside Agent mode.
  3. Pick Approval, Agentic or Manual.
Approval
Brev suggests items for you to approve.
Agentic
Brev adds items automatically.
Manual
Brev never adds items, and you add your own.
Success check
The Agent mode menu shows the mode you picked.

To add an action yourself, click Add action item in the Action items panel.
