Never lose a decision or commitment

Turn scattered voice notes, WhatsApp messages, and hallway chats into a permanent, searchable record of promises and decisions.

For: founders and consultants who make real commitments on the go, between meetings

If you’ve ever promised a client a follow-up while walking between meetings, or made a key product decision over WhatsApp that vanished into your message history — this is for you.

The most important business decisions don’t happen in formal docs — they happen on the go. You agree to a pricing change during a walk-and-talk, promise a client an updated proposal over WhatsApp, or outline a strategic shift in a 30-second voice memo. Because manual filing requires sitting down at a computer, these critical commitments get buried under new chat notifications and forgotten — a decision that isn’t captured within the day is, in practice, a decision you’ll have to make again from scratch.

How the capture works

Dori captures decisions from whatever device or channel is fastest in the moment. Whether you send a WhatsApp message, record a voice memo on your watch, or drop a text note, Dori transcribes the content, extracts the core decision or task, tags the relevant people and projects, and files it safely into your Markdown vault.

What’s actually driving this, and what it costs

Audio transcription (Whisper / local speech-to-text) and text parsing are managed locally by Dori’s engine, at zero API cost. High-level entity extraction and decision tagging is the part that uses your connected AI provider.

Questions you can ask about past commitments

Once on-the-go captures are flowing into Dori, you can query your past decisions effortlessly:

• “What did I promise to send Priya by the end of this week?”
• “What pricing decision did we make during Tuesday’s walk-and-talk?”
• “Summarize all open commitments I’ve made across all clients this month.”
• “What did I agree to regarding the Q4 feature roadmap?”
• “Find the voice note where I discussed custom contract terms with Sam.”

See Voice & WhatsApp for more capture options.

Quick setup (one time, about two minutes)

A real-world scenario: Capturing a commitment on the walk back

1. The Walk-and-Talk: You finish a coffee meeting with Marcus. On your walk back to the office, you record a 20-second voice note on WhatsApp: “Decided to give Marcus a 10% volume discount if they sign by Friday. Promised to send revised contract terms today.”
2. Background Processing: Dori transcribes the audio, identifies the key decision (10% volume discount for Friday sign-off), extracts the action item (Send revised contract terms), and tags Marcus and the Acme Account.
3. Six Months Later: You’re negotiating a renewal with Marcus. Instead of trying to recall what was agreed over coffee half a year ago, you search Dori: “What discount did I give Marcus last time?” Dori retrieves the exact decision note with date and context attached.

Why this beats standard notes apps

• Zero Manual Filing: You don’t have to categorize, tag, or move files into folders—Dori extracts entities and files notes automatically.
• Unified Memory: Voice notes, text messages, and meeting summaries live in one searchable place rather than split across separate messaging apps.
• Action Item Resurfacing: Promises you make don’t get lost—they surface as actionable items alongside your project dashboard.
