Only mildly sarcastically:

I need a natural language robot that can attend meetings for me and produce minutes and an artificial intelligence that can write an executive summary of those minutes, calling out anything should care about.

Alternately, I need a robot attached to the back of my task chair that smacks me upside the head every time my brain segfaults and crashes to reddit.

Alternately, I need a supervisor who doesn't need daily written status updated because we use a task management tool that is worth a shit.

Your supervisor wants daily updates because he does not trust the task mgmt tool - quite rightly because I doubt it is linked to the user acceptance and unit test runners and so is no indication of reality. Looking at you and hearing your voice is a better proxy of reality than a gang chart but nothing like tests

As for the NLP of meetings - yes please !!!

What task management tools have you tried that don't work for you? I use YouTrack from JetBrains and find it meets 99% of my needs (an alternate unit for estimates, e.g. stars instead of hours, would be nice). What are the features that matter most to you in such an application?
