My boss thinks I'm in every meeting. I'm not.

My boss thinks I'm in every meeting. I'm not.

I used to sit in every meeting "just in case." Three hours a day of nodding, typing, half-listening. Terrified I'd miss the one thing that mattered.


Then I'd scramble to remember what was even said.

That's not work. That's attendance theater.


So I stopped. Now I use Fellow.


The AI joins my calls, records, transcribes, and summarizes everything. If I need to know what happened, I just ask it.

Last week I skipped three meetings. Caught up in 90 seconds. Nobody noticed.


My calendar has gaps. My boss thinks I'm everywhere.


Use Fellow. Take your time back.
