My team thinks I take incredible notes. I don't take any.

My team thinks I take incredible notes. I don't take any.

I used to be the person half-listening, half-typing. Trying to capture everything. Missing the important stuff anyway.


Then afterward, scrambling to remember who said what. Sending follow-ups with gaps.

Getting the "wait, I thought we agreed on X" emails.


That's not productivity. That's survival mode.


So I stopped. Now I use MeetGeek. The AI joins my calls automatically.

Records. Transcribes. Summarizes. Pulls out action items.


I forward the notes. Colleagues think I've become a different person.


Get MeetGeek. Take the credit.
