Auto-generation of actions of a collaborative meeting

Abstract

A method for identifying and initiating actions of a meeting. The method includes a computer processor monitoring a meeting where monitoring the meeting includes receiving input from at least a first computing device. The method further includes identifying a plurality of metadata triggers associated with the received input of meeting. The method further includes identifying an occurrence of a first metadata trigger of the plurality of metadata triggers associated with the received input of the meeting. The method further includes analyzing a first portion of the received input of the meeting that includes an occurrence of the first metadata trigger and identifying a first action associated with the first metadata trigger. The method further includes determining a response criterion of the first metadata trigger. The method further includes responding to a determination that the first metadata trigger includes a response criterion indicating immediate action by initiating the first action.
