For everyone who runs, records, or keeps the minutes of a meeting
Less of your evening on scripts, minutes, and Robert’s Rules
Councils, school boards, HOA and condo boards, church boards, and nonprofit boards use Ask the Chair to turn the agenda into a script the chair can read from, draft minutes from the meeting recording, and answer procedure questions in plain English with the rule cited.
No credit card. Your first chair’s script and your first minutes from a recording are free.
A script for the chair, from your agenda
Upload the agenda. Ask the Chair writes out what the chair or president says for each item — calling to order, taking a motion and a second, handling an amendment, calling the vote, and what to do on a tie.
Your first script is free.
Minutes from the meeting recording
Upload the recording or paste the YouTube link. You get draft minutes — motions, who moved and seconded, and how each vote went — to check and finish. The audio is deleted once it’s transcribed. No email attachments, so file size isn’t a problem.
Your first one is free when you sign up here (recordings up to 2 hours).

Ask any procedure question in plain English and get a clear answer with the section of Robert’s Rules it comes from — before the meeting or during it.
Two free questions a day.
How to start
- 1. Create a free account (two minutes, no credit card).
- 2. Add your organization — a council, board, association, or congregation.
- 3. Upload your next agenda for a free chair’s script, or a recent recording for free draft minutes.
After the free ones, minutes from recordings are included in the Chair, Board, and Public Body plans, or $19 each. Drafted by AI from a meeting recording. Check it against the recording before the body approves it; the approved minutes are the official record.
