Commitment Tracking

Track promises made in client meetings and email, and see which ones are at risk.

One of the quickest ways to lose a client's trust is forgetting a small promise made during a busy meeting. On a long strategy call, it is easy to make several without writing them down. The client makes promises too, and more get made in email afterward.

With your meeting tool and inbox connected, Armbrain pulls commitments out of call transcripts and email threads and saves them in that client's mind. A commitment stays open until you say it is finished.

How commitments work

A finished commitment stays on the record, so the next meeting brief shows what you delivered. This habit prevents the awkward moment when a client asks about a promise from two weeks ago that you forgot.

Read the commitment tracking guide.

Try it

  • Armbrain, what have I promised Tidewater Logistics that is still open?

  • Armbrain, which commitments are at risk across all my clients?

  • Armbrain, mark the competitor breakdown for Tidewater Logistics as done

Prompt of the day

Audit open commitments on both sides

Change these first:

CLIENTCOMPANY = Tidewater Logistics Armbrain, help me check my promises to CLIENTCOMPANY. 1. Switch to the CLIENTCOMPANY mind. 2. List every open commitment on both sides: what I promised, and what they promised me. 3. Flag any promise that is past due or due in the next 48 hours.

Why it works: Tracking both sides keeps the relationship even: you know exactly what you owe the client, and what you are still waiting on from their team before your next check-in.
