## Handover, Features & Sales Guide

This document outlines the architecture, features, and client value proposition for the Meeting Action Item Tracker. This system transforms chaotic meeting minutes into a structured, highly interactive AI project management workspace.

## 💎 Core Features & Functionality

### 1. AI-Powered Extraction
Users simply paste raw, unstructured meeting minutes into the left panel. By clicking **Extract Action Items**, n8n passes the text to OpenAI, which automatically identifies all commitments, assigns them to the correct owner, calculates deadlines, and assigns a priority level based on context.

### 2. Interactive Kanban Board (Drag-and-Drop)
The extracted items instantly populate a Kanban board (To Do / In Progress / Done). 
- **Fluid Drag-and-Drop:** We implemented full HTML5 Drag-and-Drop. Users can grab any action card and physically drop it into a different column, updating its status instantly.

### 3. "My Workspace" User Switching
Rather than overwhelming individuals with the entire company's task list, we built a personalized workspace view.
- Using the dropdown in the top navigation, a user (e.g., "Sandra Louw") can "log in" to her workspace.
- The board instantly filters to show *only her tasks* across all historical meetings, creating a focused, distraction-free environment.

### 4. Task-Level Collaboration & Chat
Clicking any Action Card opens a comprehensive detail modal featuring three tabs:
- **Details:** Includes a private "My Notes" working area for the task owner.
- **Checklist:** Allows large tasks to be broken down into sub-tasks (e.g., *Draft budget*, *Get sign-off*).
- **Comments:** A contextual chat thread where team members can ask questions and @mention each other specifically about this task.
- **Visual Badges:** If a task has a new comment, a small `💬 2 New` badge appears directly on the card on the main board.

### 5. "Add to Calendar" Integration (.ics Export)
Inside the detail modal, we included an **"📅 Add to Calendar"** button. Clicking this instantly generates an `.ics` file. When the executive opens it, it blocks out the deadline on their Outlook, Apple, or Google Calendar automatically.

### 6. Premium PDF Report Generation
By clicking the **"📄 PDF Report"** button in the top navigation, the dashboard converts the interactive Kanban board into a clean, structured A4 document. 
- It includes 3 selectable Premium Cover Themes (Punkit Bold, Executive White, Midnight Premium).
- It opens the browser's native Print Preview, ready to be saved as a PDF for external distribution or board filing.

## 🛠️ Architecture & Deployment

### Deliverables Included
1. `meeting_tracker_dashboard.html`: The standalone dashboard front-end.
2. `meeting_tracker_workflow.json`: The n8n logic engine.

### Deployment Instructions
1. **Host the Dashboard:** Upload `meeting_tracker_dashboard.html` to AWS S3, a web server, or the client's internal portal.
2. **Import the Workflow:** Import `meeting_tracker_workflow.json` into n8n.
3. **Connect Credentials:** Add the OpenAI API key and connect your preferred Database (Airtable or Supabase) to the corresponding n8n nodes.
4. **Link the Dashboard:** Update the `extractActions()` javascript function in the HTML to POST to your newly created n8n Webhook URL.

*(Note: In this V2 build, we removed WhatsApp integration to avoid fractured communication, moving entirely to an in-dashboard notification center and task-commenting model).*
