The Meeting Note Tools Made Me Stop Listening

Once a bot started catching every word, I stopped taking my own notes. Then in a key meeting I tuned out, the bot mis-transcribed one number, and I walked away with the wrong decision in my head.

The transcript was there, but I'd outsourced understanding, not just recording. The note tool captured words and missed meaning.

Now I write one sentence per meeting by hand - the decision and the owner. The bot handles the archive; I handle comprehension.

Let the machine remember. Keep the thinking for yourself.
