Project Description CONVERGE started from a problem I experienced while working on undergraduate research projects. In the early stage of a research project, my team met again and again to argue about which direction to take. Weeks later, we had forgotten what we had already discussed. Because of that, we often misunderstood each other's ideas, or never really understood them. The meeting notes didn't help much. They were long, mixed with tables and experiment logs, and written as a running record, not as anyone's position. You could read every page and still not know what your teammate actually meant, what the team had agreed on, or why an idea had been dropped. CONVERGE connects to a team's Notion meeting notes and uses Muse Spark to read every meeting, including tables, toggles, and whiteboard photos. It turns that record into one screen: what the team has agreed, what is still open and where each person stands on it, and what each person should do next. Every claim it shows links back to the exact line of the notes it came from. If a quote cannot be found in the notes, the claim is dropped. How CONVERGE solves the problem Forgetting what was already discussed → Now. The first screen answers three questions in plain sentences: what we agreed on, what is still open, and what my next step is. Before a meeting, anyone can see where the team stands in a minute instead of rereading months of notes. Misunderstanding each other's ideas → positions with quotes. For each open question, CONVERGE shows each person's position in their own words, quoted from the notes. A work map shows who is building which part of the project and marks the parts where people propose competing approaches. You see what a teammate actually said, not what you remember them saying. Losing the story behind ideas → History. CONVERGE traces how ideas grew over time: who proposed each one, who supported or challenged it, how it branched or merged, and when and why it was dropped. When an old idea comes back, the team can see what happened to it last time. Debates that never settle → Converge Room. For a stuck question, each member gets an AI delegate that may speak only from what that member said in the notes, with checked quotes. The delegates state their positions and answer each other over two rounds. A facilitator then proposes two ways to settle the question. Each proposal gives every member a concrete next step, how likely each member is to accept it, and the main risk. The team chooses one, and the decision and next steps are written back to Notion. Too much friction to use → it lives beside Notion. A Chrome side panel shows the board next to the notes the team already writes. One Update reads only new or changed notes, picks up new team members, and refreshes the board, at about $0.01 per meeting. CONVERGE doesn't make the team's decisions. It gives the team back its own record in a form people can understand, so the next meeting starts from what was really said.
