My old notebook habits died after a week with AI meeting notes
I used to scribble every action item by hand during calls, then spend 20 minutes typing them into a tracker each night. Last month my team rolled out an AI transcription tool that auto-sorts decisions and tasks, so I stopped taking notes entirely. Anyone else find that trusting the AI summary leaves you less focused on what people actually mean, not more?
The part about "trusting the AI summary leaves you less focused on what people actually mean" hits hard for me. When you stop writing things down, your brain stops doing that work of deciding what matters in the moment. You just assume the tool will catch it, so you sit back and let the call wash over you. My question is this: when you skim that AI summary later, can you tell the difference between a real decision and someone just talking out loud? Because tone and hesitation are usually how I know if a task is actually happening or if it's just wishful thinking. The tool only grabs words, not the feeling behind them. So do you find yourself checking back with people more now, or just going off whatever the summary says?
