The premise
AI meeting summaries lose value when they capture noise instead of signal; the QA bar should be decisions + actions + owners, not transcript fidelity.
What AI does well here
- Define the meeting-summary quality rubric: every decision named, every action item with owner + date, every key disagreement noted
- Sample 5-10% of summaries weekly for human QA against the recording
- Track summary-driven follow-through: do action items in summaries actually get done
- Iterate the system prompt based on QA findings
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for the meeting facilitator's judgment about what mattered
- Replace post-meeting human review for high-stakes decisions
- Generate accurate summaries from meetings with poor audio or many talking-over each other
