Might be the wrong crowd for this take, but a flawless AI summary of a meeting does almost nothing for me. i've run the notetakers, the transcripts and summaries are genuinely good, and none of it moves on its own. the action items just sit there inside the note.
the actual work starts after: opening Linear to file the ticket, Gmail to send the follow-up, HubSpot to update the deal. that routing is the part that eats my week, and it's exactly the part most AI tools skip, probably because summarizing demos better than 'i quietly filed a few tickets from your Granola notes.'
the only thing that shifted it was a desktop app that reads the notes and pushes those items into Linear and Gmail itself, asking before each send. reading was never my bottleneck. the copy-paste after every call was.
