Another new Meet feature lets Duet “attend” a meeting on your behalf. On a meeting invite, you can click an “attend for me” button, and Google can auto-generate some text about what you might want to discuss. Those notes will be viewable to attendees during the meeting so that they can discuss them.
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.
The dubious usefulness of AI bots meets the almost unquestionably uselessness of most meetings.

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
Every now and then just throw a “miau”, in the conversation… 🤪
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.
