Requirements are only as good as the record

For a product manager, a meeting is where a vague need becomes a concrete requirement. That makes lost meeting detail uniquely expensive: the thing you forget isn't just a note, it's a spec that arrives at engineering wrong. The stakeholder said "it should feel instant" and by the time you write the ticket it's become "add a loading spinner." Nuance leaks, and the leak ships.

You're also the person in every kind of meeting — discovery, roadmap, standup, stakeholder sync, user interviews — so you accumulate more requirements per day than anyone can hold. Trying to capture them by typing means you stop asking the follow-up question that would have surfaced the real need. That's the meeting tax hitting the exact point where it does the most damage.

The full conversation, not your paraphrase of it

Pavleur's foundation is no meeting information loss. The whole call is captured, so the requirement is preserved in the stakeholder's own words, not your rushed rephrasing. When engineering asks "why did we decide this?" three weeks later, the answer is in the transcript instead of your fading memory. Cut decisions and their reasoning stay on record, so you stop relitigating settled questions.

The automatic post-meeting report then gives you a recap you can actually hand off: decisions made, requirements surfaced, action items owned. Instead of spending your evening turning scribbles into a spec, you review a generated recap and route it.

Product meetings live on the screen

So much of product work is visual — a Figma mockup, a metrics dashboard, a competitor's UI, a prototype. Audio-only tools capture your commentary and lose the artifact it was about. "Move this up and make it primary" is meaningless without the screen it referred to.

Pavleur captures video and on-screen screenshots with context, so the mockup a stakeholder reacted to and the dashboard that justified a priority call are in the record next to the discussion. This is the real gap against audio-only tools like Otter and Fireflies — for product work, the visual is the requirement. See how they stack up on the comparison page.

Where it lands in your week

Roadmap reviews. Run a project kickoff or roadmap session and capture both the priority decisions and the dashboards behind them.
Standups. Use the daily standup agenda; let Pavleur catch the blocker someone raised that you'd otherwise forget to unblock.
User interviews. The verbatim need and the screen the user pointed to are both captured, so research doesn't get flattened into your summary bias.

It learns your product cadence

Pavleur's auto-improvement tunes recaps to how your team runs product — recurring reviews, the stakeholders whose asks tend to shift, the decisions that keep coming back. The painkiller is intact requirements; the vitamin is a system that gets better at your specific meetings over time.

The bottom line for product managers

Ship what was actually asked for. Pavleur captures the conversation and the screen so requirements reach engineering intact, and writes the recap so you're not the bottleneck. Compare it against the audio-only options on the comparison page and judge it on a discovery call where the detail matters.
