Meeting Commitment Tracker | AI-Powered Promise Tracking
Claryti's commitment tracking automatically detects promises, action items, and follow-ups from your meetings, email, and Slack, then monitors them over time in both directions. It tracks what you owe others and what others owe you, surfacing overdue items in your daily brief. Teams using automated tracking complete 91% of action items versus 61% with manual methods (Claryti, 2025).
Commitment tracking is the practice of automatically detecting and monitoring promises, action items, and follow-ups made across meetings, email, and chat. Unlike task management that requires manual input, commitment tracking uses AI to extract obligations from natural conversation and monitor them bi-directionally over time.

What problem does commitment tracking solve?
The average professional makes 23 commitments per week across meetings, email, and Slack (Claryti, 2025). But human working memory holds only four to seven items at once. This creates a fundamental mismatch: you make far more promises than your brain can reliably track. The result is a 39% failure rate for meeting commitments, according to Claryti's research across 2,400 professionals.
Manual tracking methods like task managers and shared documents fail because they add friction at the worst moment. After a 45-minute meeting with multiple commitments, the cognitive overhead of capturing each one is too high. So most professionals skip it, and the forgetting begins.
How does AI commitment extraction work?
Claryti's AI reads your meeting transcripts, email threads, and Slack messages to identify commitment language. When someone says "I will send you the proposal by Friday" or "Can you review the budget before our next call," the AI recognizes these as commitments and automatically creates tracked items with inferred owners and deadlines.
The system understands context and nuance. It distinguishes between firm commitments ("I will send it tomorrow"), tentative plans ("We might look at that next quarter"), and requests ("Could you check on that?"). Each commitment is classified by urgency, direction (inbound vs outbound), and channel of origin.
What is bi-directional commitment tracking?
Bi-directional tracking means Claryti monitors commitments flowing in both directions: what you owe others and what others owe you. When your client says "I will get budget approval by next week" in a meeting, Claryti tracks that as something owed to you and surfaces it in your daily brief if the deadline passes without delivery.
This is the feature that distinguishes Claryti from transcription tools and basic action item extractors. Consultants and sales professionals find bi-directional tracking especially valuable because knowing what others owe you is just as important as tracking your own commitments.
