Curated AI Stack · Service solopreneurs running 6–15 client or sales calls per week

Solopreneur Meeting-to-Deliverables Stack (2026)

Meetings waste money when notes die in Apple Reminders. Record with Loom when video helps, Descript when you need transcript edits, Notion for action items, Claude for client-ready recap — Make only after you send 4 recaps manually. Spend: $0–45/month. This is not a podcast stack; it is “call → tasks → email” in under 20 minutes post-call.

30-Day Implementation Plan

  1. Week 1 — Recap SLA

    1. Commit: client recap within 24h, internal notes within 2h. Write SLA on wall.
    2. Notion template: attendees, decisions, actions, links. Duplicate per call.
    3. Record one Loom with consent. Practice one-sentence consent ask.

  2. Week 2 — Descript accuracy

    1. Import one call audio to Descript. Mark action timestamps.
    2. Compare AI summary to your manual notes — fix template where AI drifts.
    3. Send recap with 3 bullets max + link to full notes if retainer client.

  3. Week 3 — Claude polish

    1. Claude draft from Notion bullets only — never from raw transcript alone.
    2. You add personal opener referencing something non-transactional.
    3. Track reply rate — recaps that get “thanks, clear” are winning.

  4. Week 4 — Automate or simplify

    1. Make scenario if you missed recap SLA twice. Otherwise skip.
    2. Drop Loom if clients never open videos — audio + Descript enough.
    3. Pair with /stack/solopreneur-scheduling-and-productivity-stack for calendar hygiene.
