Meetings are the worst.
They steal your time. They kill momentum. And worst of all? You usually have to repeat the same stuff to your team afterwards anyway.
This morning, I decided enough.
Here’s how I used AI to skip the rehash, save 45 minutes, and make my team think I’m a genius (or at least incredibly efficient):
Step 1: Record the Meeting
I had a call with a new supplier this morning.
While I sipped coffee and made smart noises, Otter.ai recorded and transcribed everything in real time. No note-taking. No distractions. Just vibes.
Step 2: Feed It to ChatGPT
Once the meeting ended, I copied the transcript straight into ChatGPT with two simple prompts:
Thirty seconds later:
I had a polished summary, a clean to-do list, and zero need to explain myself again.
Step 3: Send & Forget
I dropped the summary into Teams, CC’d my CFO, and moved on with my day.
No extra meetings. No back-and-forth emails. No confusion.
All in? Five minutes.
Time saved? At least 45.
The Big Idea?
AI isn’t here to replace your meetings.
It’s here to replace the worst parts of them — the repetition, the recap, and the endless admin that comes after.
This is what the modern business stack looks like:
- Otter records it
- GPT summarizes it
- You look like the most organized person in the room
And the best part? You barely lifted a finger.
