Meeting transcription and auto-summaries
What this task is
The assistant notes key points, decisions and action items while a meeting runs, then writes up formal minutes and circulates them to everyone who attended.
How AI replaces it
From 2022, meeting tools added live transcription that separates speakers and auto-generates summaries, decisions and action lists afterward. By 2025 manual minute-taking had largely been replaced.
What stays human
Assistants check the generated minutes for accuracy, add context that was understood but never said aloud, and follow up to make sure action items actually get done.
