Diligent Boards Features
AI-Powered Board Book Creation
Diligent Boards features AI to automate board book preparation by compiling source documents into a complete draft in seconds. The software highlights key takeaways, scans for potential risk language, and reduces manual formatting work, allowing governance teams to review and finalize materials faster.
Smart Risk And Content Analysis
The platform includes AI-driven risk scanning and summarization tools that help identify legal red flags and risky language in board materials. Directors receive concise summaries and talking points upfront, supporting more focused discussions and informed decision-making during meetings.
Secure Document Sharing And Access Control
Diligent Boards protects sensitive governance materials through encryption, role-based permissions, and detailed audit trails. Documents are shared securely within a controlled environment, ensuring confidential information is only accessible to authorized users, even in highly regulated or scrutinized settings.
Meeting Minutes, Actions, And Workflow Automation
The software automates meeting minutes creation and converts discussions into trackable action items. Built-in workflows, reminders, and approvals help ensure follow-ups, voting, and questionnaires are completed on time, reducing the risk of missed tasks or compliance gaps.

“Secure place for confidential strategic presentations”
Pros
Having one highly secure place for confidential strategic presentations has been a big advantage. It makes executive meeting prep much easier with offline document access on tablets, private annotation features and detailed permission controls.
Cons
Its interface feels quite plain and inflexible which is a stark contrast to the creative, colorful cosmetics world. For marketing teams used to newer collaborative platforms, the navigation can come across as somewhat austere.

“Lets me build the full board package”
Pros
Preparing our monthly board meeting packets with confidential financial documents is much more manageable with it. Instead of sending multiple email attachments for every file, I can build the full board package in one central place and just drag and drop the documents where they need to go. That setup has made it a lot simpler for senior leadership and board members to find and access everything they need before the discussion.
Cons
The platform has a lot of functionality but the interface can feel a little overloaded when you're trying to locate a setting or a document for the first time. I've also run into quite a bit of lag when uploading large financial PDFs or when making several quick updates to the board book right before a meeting.

“No training required”
Pros
it didn't require any training at all. The layout is simple and moving around the product feels very simple and user-friendly.
Cons
There are a few small quirks when creating links inside an agenda package and the questionnaire feature feels somewhat limited in what it can do.
