Most meeting tools are built around preservation. They aim to capture conversations as accurately as possible and store them for later reference. This approach treats meetings as archival events.

Vance was designed with a different assumption: the value of a meeting is not the conversation itself, but the system of actions it produces.

This changes the design philosophy entirely. Instead of optimizing for documentation, Vance optimizes for extraction. Conversations are processed into structured outputs that integrate directly into the tools teams already use for execution.

Action items become tasks. Decisions become references. Summaries become shared context. Nothing remains trapped inside the meeting itself.

In this model, meetings are not endpoints. They are transformation layers between conversation and execution.
