I'll pretend you asked a few questions instead of explaining my work to me without understanding.
1. "Why can't you look at the AI notes during the meeting?" The AI note-takers that I've seen summarize the meeting transcript after the meeting. A human note-taker should be synthesizing the information in real-time, allowing them to catch disagreements in real-time. Not creating the notes until after the meeting precludes real-time intervention.
2. "Why not use [AI Note-taker whose notes are available during the meeting]?" Even if there were a real-time synthesis by AI, I would have to keep track of that instead of the meeting in order to catch the same disagreements a human note-taker would catch.
3. "What problem are you trying to solve?" My problem is that misunderstandings are often created or left uncorrected during meetings. I think this is because most people are thinking about the meeting topics from their perspective, not spending time synthesizing what others are saying. My solution to this so far has been human note-taking by a human familiar with the meeting topic. This is hard to scale though, so I'm curious to see if this start-up is working on building a note-taking AI with the benefits I've mentioned seem to be unique to humans (for now).
