A low-risk win.
Summaries save time and are easy to check against what you remember. They are a good first use for many teams.
Consent and privacy
Be open about it.
Tell participants when meetings are transcribed, follow local rules and avoid sensitive discussions in unapproved tools.
Structure matters
Decisions, owners, dates.
Use a template so every summary lists decisions, actions with owners and open questions.
