I noticed that I was in a ton of pointless meetings. Some were recorded, but I’d never go back and look at the recordings because the meetings were a waste of my time. I realized the common theme was none of these meetings were prepared well or at all.
One could look at meetings as a start-to-end process. AI transcripts and summaries are downstream of meetings. The problem is, if you have a bad meeting, you get bad AI transcripts and summaries - garbage in, garbage out.
Why not apply AI at the start of the meeting process where meetings are first created? Make people think of what they want to get out of the meeting, what they want to discuss, and who actually needs to be there.
In theory, this should result in people having:
> Fewer, shorter, and more efficient meetings > High quality agendas with worthwhile talking points > Healthy discussions that lead to an actual outcome
Therefore, the AI preparation tool should:
> Know what you want to get out of the meeting - i.e. what’s the objective? > Use AI to create an agenda with relevant talking points to hit said objective > Make you think of who should talk about each talking point and invite only those people > Bonus points if it follows a repeatable structure and does all of this very quickly, which should totally be possible with AI
What do you all think? Less AI transcription/summarization and more AI meeting prep?
