Is Leexi's AI note-taker able to raise its hand in a meeting (or otherwise interrupt) and ask for clarification?

As a human note-taker, I find the most impactful result of real-time synthesis is the ability to identify and address conflicting information in the moment. That ability is reliant on domain knowledge and knowledge of the meeting attendees.

But if the AI could participate in the meeting in real time like I can, it'd be a huge difference.

If you are attending the meeting as well as using an AI note-taker, then you should be able to ask the clarifying question(s). If you understand the content, then you should understand the AI notes (hopefully), and if you ask for clarification, then the AI should add those notes too.

Your problem really only arises if someone is using the AI to stand in for them at the meeting vs. use it to take notes.

I'll pretend you asked a few questions instead of explaining my work to me without understanding.

1. "Why can't you look at the AI notes during the meeting?" The AI note-takers that I've seen summarize the meeting transcript after the meeting. A human note-taker should be synthesizing the information in real-time, allowing them to catch disagreements in real-time. Not creating the notes until after the meeting precludes real-time intervention.

2. "Why not use [AI Note-taker whose notes are available during the meeting]?" Even if there were a real-time synthesis by AI, I would have to keep track of that instead of the meeting in order to catch the same disagreements a human note-taker would catch.

3. "What problem are you trying to solve?" My problem is that misunderstandings are often created or left uncorrected during meetings. I think this is because most people are thinking about the meeting topics from their perspective, not spending time synthesizing what others are saying. My solution to this so far has been human note-taking by a human familiar with the meeting topic. This is hard to scale though, so I'm curious to see if this start-up is working on building a note-taking AI with the benefits I've mentioned seem to be unique to humans (for now).
