Use the AI for Outcomes, Not Transcripts

The goal isn’t to capture everything. It’s to capture what matters. AI notetakers are most valuable when they focus on:

1. Decisions made

2. Actions agreed to

3. Who owns what

4. Why something was decided (context)

What to avoid:

1. Treating the output like a word-for-word diary

2. Forwarding raw transcripts to people who weren’t there

Best practice:

1. Skim the summary.

2. Ask: “If someone read only this, would they know what to do next?”

3. If the answer is no, fix it.
