The big idea
Group meetings often fall apart in the follow-through. AI can record (with permission), summarize the meeting, list action items, and even draft follow-up emails. Group projects get way more organized.
Some examples
AI summarizes the meeting in 5 bullets so everyone remembers what happened.
AI extracts action items with who-does-what.
AI drafts a recap email to send to absent members.
AI suggests when to schedule the next meeting based on what is unfinished.
