The premise
Recap tone determines whether meetings drive forward or backslide; AI can produce decision-focused recaps that don't refight the fight.
What AI does well here
- Generate recaps that emphasize decisions and action items over arguments
- Identify decisions made vs. decisions deferred
- Draft action items with named owners and due dates
- Surface open questions that didn't get resolved (without taking sides)
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for the facilitator's judgment about what to elevate vs. defuse
- Replace the human follow-up needed for unresolved conflicts
- Generate recaps for meetings that should have been emails
