Duet AI for Google Meet can take notes, summarize, and even attend meetings - The Verge

Let's just let the bots meet by themselves and get some real work done by us humans.

This is cool, but, if you can get by with this then did you really need to attend the meeting in the first place?

And once everyone but the meeting caller sends the bot.... Good luck with that.

What's funny is that this could only help if just one or two people use it in a given meeting. But if 4/6 people were to use it, then most of the meeting's purpose is gone, and the notes are about nothing.

I feel like these LLM transcription summaries are better for quick reviewing of info.

The real dream is that when a boss has a long shpeil to dump on everyone, they could just ramble on to a conference room of bots and then it turns their whole "talk" into the paragraph email it should have been.

I'm going to intentionally talk random shit to make the AI summary more confusing

I need to try this note taking feature. I have monthly meetings when I'm home solo parenting two young kiddos... Automated meeting notes that I can review when I'm child free would be amazing.

I think this will be great. Can't possibly have any unintended consequences.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

🤖 I'm a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles: ::: spoiler Click here to see the summary At its Cloud Next conference today, Google revealed a handful of new AI-powered features coming soon to Meet.

And when the meeting is over, you can save the summary to Docs and come back to it after the fact; it can even include video clips of important moments.

These AI-enabled features could be a way to free up people from being dedicated meeting-note scribes and make it easier to catch up both during and after calls.

Microsoft and Zoom also clearly think this is a good idea: they’ve rolled out AI-powered meeting summaries of their own.

But the recaps will only be useful if they can accurately capture what happened during a meeting, and given that AI is prone to making mistakes, Google might have a lot to prove to earn that trust.

“Now we’re spending that same deep energy we spent over the last few years to get to enterprise-grade to be the best cutting-edge video conferencing product on the market.”
