Meetings stack up fast. One turns into three follow ups, plus notes, plus action items you promise yourself you will remember later. Suddenly your calendar looks full, but the actual work sits untouched.

What if meetings stopped interrupting your day and started supporting it instead? This week focuses on AI tools that capture decisions, summarize conversations, and turn talk into action automatically.

Ever walk out of a meeting knowing something important slipped by?

How it helps: It records meetings, summarizes conversations, highlights decisions, and pulls out action items without you typing anything
Cost: Free plan available. Paid plans start around $10 per month
Effort to learn: Low
Takeaway: You stay present in meetings instead of scrambling to remember details later

What if your meeting recap was already done before the call ended?

What it is: An AI meeting assistant built for instant summaries and follow ups
How it helps: It highlights key moments, creates clean summaries, and helps you share action items immediately
Cost: Free plan available. Paid plans start around $15 per month

Do you spend more time recapping meetings than actually attending them?

What it is: Built in AI inside Notion that turns raw notes into structured summaries
