Find Decisions in WhatsApp Chats
Decisions in WhatsApp look like casual messages. AI finds them all — including agreements buried in voice notes.
Decisions in WhatsApp chats do not look like decisions. Nobody writes "DECISION: We will launch on March 15." Instead, decisions happen like this:
"So we're going with option B right?"
"Yeah let's do it"
"Cool, I'll tell the team"
Three messages. One decision. Buried between 200 other messages about lunch plans and meeting times.
Why finding decisions matters
Missed decisions cause problems:
- Someone reverses a decision because they did not know it was made
- Two people work on the same thing because the split was decided in a chat nobody scrolled back to
- A deadline passes because the agreed date was mentioned once and forgotten
- A client gets confused because the internal decision was never documented
The manual approach
To find decisions manually, you would:
- Scroll through the entire chat
- Look for messages that imply agreement
- Note who agreed and what was decided
- Try to remember context from surrounding messages
- Hope you did not miss any
For a 500-message thread, this takes 30-60 minutes. For a group chat with voice notes, even longer.
The automated approach
- Export the WhatsApp chat as a .zip
- Upload it to ThreadRecap
- Select a summary or meeting recap goal
- Get a structured list of decisions with context
ThreadRecap identifies decisions by looking for agreement patterns, confirmations, and commitment language across the entire conversation, including transcribed voice notes. You can also extract action items in the same analysis.
