Quotes:
- “It’s not just a meeting summary or meeting notes capability. It really is a deeper capability that provides meeting life cycle experience that go all the way through configuring it ahead of time to record automatically, and into follow-up where you’ve got all the data from your meetings and WorkIQ to reference through AI in the future”
- “I’ve got a number of recurring meetings where I regularly start the meeting by going back and looking at the recap from the previous call because I have so many meetings I'm in. Sometimes I forget context, and I could quickly get that context”
- “Facilitator notes and loop documents go right into WorkIQ. When you turn up as a facilitator, you’re able to ask more detailed questions of Copilot, and it has that context because it can reference those loop documents.”
- “My ability to go back and ask Copilot, 'Give me an update on recent interactions with this customer', with facilitator notes, I not only get recent emails and Teams threads, but it has all my meeting context.”
