Notice Title

Magic Notes for Children's and Adults Services

Notice Description

Magic Notes is a digital productivity tool designed to automatically capture, summarise, and structure key information from meetings, emails, and documents. It uses intelligent automation to convert spoken or written content into clear, actionable notes, reducing the need for manual documentation. By streamlining administrative tasks, Magic Notes helps staff save time, improve accuracy, and focus on higher-value work. The need for such a solution was identified through feedback from staff who were spending significant time on repetitive administrative tasks, such as manually writing up meeting notes, summarising communications, and preparing documentation. During the pilot, users reported that Magic Notes significantly reduced their administrative burden, allowing them to reallocate time to higher-value activities and improve overall productivity.
