But in highly technically important meetings, y'all might want to proofread in case the wrong TLA gets used.
I mean, to be clear, these will be strictly less valuable than human-generated notes.
But on the other hand, I think they'll be strictly more valuable than no notes.
And as someone who has a terrible time trying to both note-take and participate in a meeting at the same time, this seems like it could be super helpful.
I don't feel like I'm missing anything, but equally the op has built a product to automate this, so it's got to be important in some contexts. Would like to know what I'm missing
Huh. So I've never taken meeting notes. I guess you write down some things people said. Do you then refer back to that later, or is it a memory aid thing?

Taking notes doesn't have to be painful, for me it's just one `diary` command away and it will open/create the appropriate note file in my favorite editor:
I've also packaged it as a pip package for distribution: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli

It's a pip package and by installing you can invoke the `diary` command to directly edit the day's note or diary (as long as the python package bin are in your shell PATH). You can also configure location where they are stored or the shell editor you want to use.
My luddite? solution: make note taking as painless as there is, make it one word command away in the terminal, and that command organize the notes/diary in dates: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli It's a pip package and by installing you can invoke the `diary` command to directly edit the day's note or diary (as long as the python package bin are in your shell PATH).

Digital, if you want to go a bit modern; with speech-to-text postprocessing if you want to go modern.
As far as selecting salient points from the transcript goes, the ancient tech of "Copy" and "Paste" usually does the job just fine.

While an interesting concept, an AI has no point of view and can only summarize with the context given. It won't be able to assume the right person for the action item if not said, won't know who has what expertise if those aren't there, and is limited to words spoken. I'm sure in the future big tech companies will run their own AI models (if not already) to supplement this knowing. Definitely not worth what the offering is today at $37/mo for a few bullet points that takes seconds to write.
The main value of any note taking, summarization, and creative act in general is the process. Not the output.
