Amie

Bot-free meeting notes

Records calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Slack huddles and Microsoft Teams without a bot in the meeting, then produces a transcript, summary and action items.

Calendar with todos

Todos and calendar live in one app, and dragging a todo onto the calendar time-blocks it. Action items from calls sit alongside todos from tools such as Notion or Todoist.

AI Scheduling

Puts your schedule together automatically, keeping deadlines and placing the highest-priority items first.

AI chat with actions

Ask questions across your meeting notes, or have the chat draft emails, create and update meetings, rewrite summaries and schedule tasks.

Exports to work tools

Sends meeting notes to Pipedrive, Attio, Notion, Slack, HubSpot or Linear.

MCP server

Gives Claude or ChatGPT access to your meeting notes, calendar, emails and todos.

Routine

Planner and calendar

Plan the day in a view that combines tasks with events from connected calendars such as Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Time blocking starts on the Personal plan.

Dashboard hotkey

A desktop hotkey opens a dashboard for creating tasks quickly and adding context to them without switching apps.

Universal inbox

Imports tasks, messages and notifications from connected apps and services into one inbox.

Notes and custom databases

Notes, a journal and pages sit alongside tasks. Custom databases model your own object types: 3 on Free, 10 on Personal and unlimited from Professional.

AI meeting notes

Records meetings without a meeting bot and generates a summary with the transcript and original audio. Requires the Professional plan.

AI assistant, agents and MCP

An AI assistant and voice commands are in every plan. AI agents and automations need Professional, and MCP connects Routine to assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.
