The last item of the meeting. The chair puts the motion to a vote. A person calls the vote. Steward never votes. The chair adjourns the meeting. Afterward, Steward drafts the minutes for the secretary, with the motions and votes. The secretary reviews the draft. The secretary can send it to the board for approval or request changes. Each signature is recorded with the time it was signed. The signed record can be downloaded as a PDF. Qwibie. Fourteen-day free trial. No credit card required.

The board's work

Everything Your Board Does, in One Place

A decision between meetings: the motion, the discussion and who has consented so far

Meetings, live or over days

Run a live video meeting, or a meeting held over several days when the board can't wait for the next one.

The document vault: bylaws, policies, minutes and a budget draft, one marked restricted

Records in one place

Bylaws, policies, minutes and reports in one vault, with privileged items kept to the right people.

A finance committee's own space: its meetings, messages and a draft recommendation for the board

Committees in their own space

Each committee works in its own space. Committees advise; the board decides.

Steward

AI Designed for Governance

Steward is the AI built into Qwibie. It does the preparation a board needs, and people make every decision.

  • Drafts the agenda, the packet, and the minutes. A person approves each one.
  • Answers from your board's own records, with the sources shown.
  • Answers each person only from what they're allowed to see.
  • Never votes. A person declares quorum and opens every vote.

Q-Think, the proof

No Single Model Is Trusted with What Matters Most

Financial and treasurer reports go through three independent reviewers before anyone sees them. When the last one won't sign, the report says so.

  • Draft minutes are checked against the meeting record, and minutes that don't match the tallies or quorum can't be approved.
  • Legal answers are checked against your documents, and Steward points you to your attorney when they don't support an answer.

  1. Code checks the figures

    Before any model writes, code foots the numbers.

  2. One model drafts

    A first model drafts the report from your documents.

  3. A different model family challenges

    A model trained elsewhere reads the draft against the source and pushes back.

  4. A final reviewer asks: Would I sign this?

    If the answer is no, the report can't be approved unless an officer records why.

  5. A person decides

    Disagreements are flagged for your treasurer. The report records which models checked it.

Automated workflows

From the Motion to the Signed Minutes

The record builds itself as the board works. A short film shows a decision between meetings, beside the sealed record it leaves.

Monday morning. The treasurer posts the budget motion for the board. Decide by unanimous written consent before a fixed close, if your bylaws allow it. Over three days. Directors read, discuss and consent from wherever they are. The screen shows who has consented so far. Wednesday. One director wants a meeting. One "needs a meeting" sends that motion to a live meeting instead. At the close, the record is sealed. Steward drafts the minutes for the secretary. Qwibie. Fourteen-day free trial. No credit card required.

A sealed record of action taken without a meeting, with the minutes drafted for the secretary
  • Decide between meetings by unanimous written consent; a no, an abstain, or a request for a meeting sends it to a meeting.
  • After the last vote, Steward drafts the minutes for the secretary.
  • Draft minutes are checked against the vote record before anyone can approve them.
  • Officers sign in order, and the signed PDF is sealed once.
  • Every key action goes into the System Log: who, what, and when.

Why not a general AI tool

A Chatbot Answers. A Board Has to Stand behind the Answer

Board work is a record that people sign. Steward is built around that: sources, permissions, a second and a third opinion, and a person who decides.
