AI agent for board members
Board Meeting Follow-Up Action Tracker Agent
Make sure board actions are done, on time and backed by evidence.
What it does
After a board meeting, actions are agreed and then forgotten, or management reports them done without evidence. The agent extracts action items from the minutes, assigns owners and dates, and tracks updates. When an owner says an item is complete, it checks the claim against evidence such as a document, a policy or data. It flags overdue items and drafts questions for the chair. The board member approves the questions before they go to management. Edge case: management reports that a cyber policy was updated, but the policy on file still has last year's date, so the agent asks for the new version.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
An action is closed only when the evidence matches what the board asked for. A reported completion without evidence is queried. Overdue items go to the chair's list.
- An item past due by 7 days goes on the chair's list
- A reported done without evidence is open
- A document date must be after the meeting
- Questions are limited to 5 per update
