Jooto, a task and project management tool operated by PR TIMES Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takumi Yamaguchi; TSE Prime, Nagoya Prime: 3922), has released the Chrome extension 'Jooto Next' on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. This new tool allows users to record meetings, transcribe speech in real time, summarize discussions using AI, and create actionable tasks—all within one screen. It enables the accumulation of meeting content and interactions with AI as linked tasks in Jooto, while also offering AI-powered features such as task execution support, standardized document creation, and team member analysis—realizing a collaborative work experience where humans and AI work together. 'Jooto Next' combines visibility into individual work patterns with AI utilization, transforming personal AI usage into organizational outcomes.

Operational Visibility in the Age of AI

As generative AI becomes more widely adopted, discussions in meetings, communications between team members, and even conversations with AI are increasingly becoming critical inputs for business decisions. However, in most cases, this information remains scattered in personal notes or chat logs, with only final deliverables being shared.

Relying solely on deliverables makes it difficult to understand the rationale behind decisions, the data used for execution, or who was responsible for what—obscuring the actual workflow and making effective role allocation and process improvement challenging.

Jooto believes that in the AI era, it's not just the final output that matters, but also the underlying meetings, decisions, tasks, work logs, and AI dialogues that should be systematically captured as operational data. To leverage these insights for future decisions and actions—and to drive better 'next steps'—this product was developed.

Deciding the Next Step in Meetings: Automating Task Creation from Recordings

With Jooto Next, users can seamlessly proceed through four key steps: ① recording meetings, ② real-time transcription, ③ AI-powered summarization and Q&A, and ④ creating the next actionable tasks.

Moreover, transcribed content, AI-generated responses, and Q&A sessions can all be attached and saved within Jooto tasks. When reviewing tasks later, users can revisit the discussions and decisions that led to each task, making it valuable for handovers and process improvements.

① Meeting Recording

In addition to meeting notes, users can record microphone or tab audio. Whether online or offline, meeting content can be preserved as operational data.

② Real-Time Transcription

Recorded audio is transcribed in real time by AI. This allows participants to confirm what was said during the meeting, aiding in alignment on discussions and decisions.

③ AI-Powered Summarization and Q&A

Based on meeting notes and transcripts, users can ask questions to the AI or organize key decisions and discussion points. This feature can be used during or after meetings, treating AI as an active participant.

④ Creating the Next Actionable Tasks

Action items extracted from meeting content can be organized as 'Next Tasks.' Instead of reviewing minutes after the meeting to identify action items, teams can align on tasks during the meeting and immediately manage them within Jooto.

From Planning to Management: Advancing Work Continuously with AI

Jooto Next categorizes AI integration with Jooto into four areas: 'Planning Support,' 'Execution Support,' 'Operational Support,' and 'Management.' Corresponding AI features include 'Create Tasks,' 'Advance Tasks,' 'Create Standardized Documents,' and 'Member Analysis.'

[Planning Support] Create Tasks

This feature extracts required actions from textual information such as meeting transcripts, documents, or notes created in Jooto Next, and organizes them as tasks within Jooto. By uploading PDFs, Excel files, meeting notes, or request emails, AI analyzes and structures action items. For example, it can extract decisions and follow-ups from meeting minutes or identify necessary customer-facing actions from sales materials, generating draft task titles and descriptions. This reduces the burden of manually interpreting documents and prevents missed tasks.

[Execution Support] Advance Tasks

This feature supports users in executing Jooto tasks by helping confirm necessary information and organize work content. Based on task descriptions, comments, checklists, and attachments, AI assesses feasibility. If information is missing, it suggests additional items to verify; if sufficient data is available, it supports drafting messages or creating deliverables. This minimizes situations where users are unsure how to start a task or where work stalls due to missing information.

[Operational Support] Create Standardized Documents

This feature generates standard operating procedures or response manuals based on past tasks and related information handled in Jooto. For recurring tasks such as customer inquiries, routine operations, application processing, or client responses, AI compiles past tasks, comments, attachments, and related URLs into reusable, well-structured documents. This reduces dependency on individual staff, enabling better team-wide knowledge sharing, handovers, and training.

[Management] Member Analysis

This feature analyzes team members' and teams' work status based on Jooto tasks and work logs. AI organizes data such as individual task patterns, working hours, progress status, stalled tasks, and workload imbalances. Rather than simple numerical aggregation, it helps identify where bottlenecks occur, which tasks are prone to delays, and what improvements the team can make.

This enables managers to make data-driven decisions for process improvement and team support, going beyond intuition.

Going forward, Jooto Next will continue expanding its functionality across all areas, moving beyond isolated AI task assistance to deliver a comprehensive collaborative work experience—from planning and execution to operations and management.

UI Design That Visualizes Human Work and Builds the Foundation for AI Utilization

Based on the previously released JootoTimer, Jooto Next enhances work time tracking and adds a user interface designed to capture team members' actual work patterns—making it easy to organize 'what to do next.'

Users can register routine tasks like checking emails or chats, expand tracking to include non-Jooto work or meetings, and import high-priority, deadline-approaching tasks from Jooto. This allows users to start each day by organizing the work they should focus on.

Additionally, recorded work hours are visualized in analytical reports, enabling users to review how much time is spent on each task. This supports not only individual productivity improvements but also team-wide operational oversight.
