| HN Community - Could AI generated agendas be the answer we’ve all been looking for? How do you currently address bad meetings? Let me explain.. I created this interactive website version for anyone to test this question by making it super easy to use generative AI to prepare a great agenda. Btw, this can also be used directly through a super simple extension inside of your calendar so you can actually create/update meetings with these agendas. In a previous HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39177059), I outlined that I thought the actual reason that bad meetings exist is because few people take the time to prepare useful and effective agendas. It’s easy to not do this because of a lack of experience and time. Meeting companies that provide AI transcripts and summaries are pointless because, well, garbage-in, garbage-out. Why would you view a meeting recording or transcript if the meeting never should have happened in the first place? They’re just band-aids. The most effective meeting agendas have: > A clear title
> A single, well-defined objective (“what’s the meeting about?”)
> Relevant talking points that lead up to reaching the defined objective This allows you to invite the correct people who can address the specific talking points and keep the meeting flow on track. Start with agendas and only then should you use tools like AI recordings, transcripts, and summaries. I’d love for you to try it and give feedback on if you think this can end bad meetings! |
