Really don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Getting a transcript and summary of an hour long meeting that you weren’t at is so much easier than relying on someone taking and sending you notes.
yeah. I had a 5 hour QBR this week with 18 in-person attendees and 7 virtual where we didn’t even take a pee break. I was presenting 90% of it so it’s hard to take my own notes. I give AI the transcript, the virtual note taker, and the slide deck and my personal notes and describe how I want the output and it gives me a recap of the highlights, discussion, action items that then I can email to stakeholders and to project mgmt to set up next step tasks in Asana.
at my last client’s they used SAFe, which basically means they do “big agile”. in practice, this meant that every tenth week was “meeting week”. five days of only retrospectives and planning meetings, including a friday all-hands with over 400 engineers at once. i wish we had virtual note takers that worked.
that’s the fun part about working in old european industry: we get six weeks, but everyone has to take them at the same time, and at that time the factory just… shuts down.
…virtual note takers? we don’t even write our own fucking notes anymore?..
edit:
Okay, okay, I get it :D AI indeed has some uses.
Turning meetings into emails in the least efficient manner
You get meetings and emails! Just imagine the productivity!
Once you get high enough in corporate hell, all work is meetings and e-mails about meetings. There is nothing else.
Ngl, it’s actually pretty handy.

Here, you can use mine. hands you my notebook full of furry porn sketches and stories
Ohh, you actually pay attention at meetings? Oof. … So what do you think of my latest character?
Why does it have three…? You know what, never mind.
I mean, I’ll take that notebook. Pass it over.
If I could trust it to consider the same points important that I do and have the same understanding of them.
They merely report what was said, nothing (much) more, nothing less.
Literally one of the only good apllications for AI.
Really?? All the AI note takers I’ve seen suck farts.
The fans can just use regular air from the room to cool the computer. You don’t actually need to fart into them.

The one benefit of AI I’ve actually found useful.

“So I’m going to need every 10th week as a vacation… I’m out of vacation days? Well regardless, I’m not showing up.”

Oh wow that really sucks.
could be worse
Transcribing meetings is quite useful if you want to quickly check something later on.
Summarizing that is useful to get the gist of it if you missed the meeting.
You ever listen to a whole meeting? Not for me!
