As artificial intelligence continues to seep into every possible domain, it only makes sense that one makes full use of the opportunity.
AI can help out in all online meetings that one attends. AI assistants are no strangers to us, everyone on the internet has used Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa from time to time. Similar to them are AI meeting assistant apps, which are designed to automate meeting-related functions as well as organise post-meeting workflow.
Broadly, the meeting assistant tools fall under 3 functions: conversation recording, data indexing and task management for tasks like scheduling, note-taking, follow-ups, analysis etc.
Following are some of the ways in which individuals and teams can utilise AI meeting assistant tools:
- Better scheduling and reminder control: Less overlapping of meeting slots and apt reminders of the meetings in everyone’s inboxes
- Improved coordination with well-documented meetings: Everyone is kept informed of the meeting’s discussions, even if they did not join the call
- More productivity by focusing on work that matters: AI takes care of the note-taking and other manual tasks so that you are able to concentrate on the stuff that matters
- Tracking action items and meeting minutes.
Following are some of the vast majority of AI meeting assistant tools:
- Sembly
Sembly is a free multipurpose AI meeting assistant that transcribes, generates meeting notes and analyses meeting data to offer actionable insights.
