It started at our own board

I am on the board of BRF Kasernen 2, a housing cooperative in Stockholm. Like most boards of our kind, we are neighbours doing this in our spare time, and every meeting began the same way: someone had to take the minutes, and nobody wanted to.

Whoever ended up with the pen did their best. The notes were sparse, the context was lost between meetings, and the minutes took longer to write up than the meeting had taken to hold. The signatures took longer still.

So we tried something simple. We recorded a meeting in Voice Memos on a phone and let AI write the first draft of the minutes. It came out better than our notes ever had, and it was ready before the evening was over.

I kept going, at first only to serve our own board. Then it struck me that there are thousands of associations in exactly our situation, run by people who would rather spend their evening on the building than on the paperwork. That is what Styrelseprotokoll is for: capture the meeting, create the minutes, adjust them together, sign them, and keep the board's history in one place.

It is early, and we build it with the boards that use it. If that could be yours, I would like to hear from you.
