Meeting Summary using AI

[mrsooner 1]

Hello all,

There are many iOS apps now that 'listen' to live meetings using some sort of AI. These apps transcribe the audio to text, and also summarize the meeting by person speaking, action items, summaries, etc... These apps are VERY helpful in organizing meeting notes. BUT, none of the data is in Evernote. I would LOVE for this feature to be in Evernote, instead of me paying for another app.

Hi.  This might be a future feature for the AI integrations in Evernote,  but it's unlikely to be available for several months if at all.  Meantime if you type notes of your meetings there's an existing "AI Cleanup" option which may help. 

However something with the flexibility of one of these apps would take considerable effort to code - Evernote would need to be sure it was cost-effective.

This is a no-brained. As a longtime subscriber, I expect no less than being able to immediately take a meeting recording and generate a transcript, summary and similar starting point queries to ChatGPT all within Evernote. This should be something doable yesterday.

 

there are separate apps like Otter, but I definitely think this should be part of Evernote’s core functionality very soon.

The best meeting protocols are anyhow those written before the meeting. As a lazy subscriber I expect this AI functionality from EN yesterday.

It would be the perfect productivity boost, because it will avoid to have a meeting at all. I mean, Jack will as always be late, Tom boast about his fishing and Jane will do her emails, all perfectly foreseeable for an AI.

So let’s have the EN AI write the protocol right away, and go on with some real work (like tweaking the AI to do ours).

This said the question for me is if I want any external AI to have full access to my notes. And if it would be a clever move for any business or organization to allow this.

The weak point in this process is the transcription.  I’ve used a few apps that transcribe and the result is usually not very good.  If there is one speaker, who enunciates clearly, and the phone is close by, the result may be ok, but in a meeting with several speakers, the transcription result is gibberish.  Multiple mics with separate audio tracks would likely be needed.  I don’t see a phone doing this any time soon.

I disagree, the app I use on my iPad Does this very well already. It identifies the speakers, and also transcribes what they’ve said throughout the meeting, and then summarizes very easily. I would say it is around 75% percent accurate. Which is way better than starting from nothing.

What's the app?  I would like to try it.
