Suitable tasks
Enhance personal notes and prepare a summary for review.
Limits and checks
No invited bot does not remove the need to check capture permission and processing conditions.
A repeatable trial
In a fictional conversation, take two partial notes and compare the summary with a full list of decisions, disagreements and reservations.
How to decide
Accept only summaries preserving reservations and distinguishing them from your annotations.
Frequently asked questions
Does a meeting without a bot involve no data processing?
