Frequently asked questions
Which office tasks are worth automating with AI?
The repetitive ones with a fixed shape: transcribing a meeting and pulling out the actions, building a first draft of a deck, or reading invoices. Anything that needs your own judgement still comes out better by hand.
Are AI-generated presentations actually presentable?
As a first draft, yes, and that is where the saving is. The finish and the message stay yours: the tool solves structure and design, it does not decide what you want to say.
Can I record a meeting and get the minutes?
Yes, and it is one of the things that works best today. The tool transcribes, separates who said what and extracts agreements and action items. Always tell attendees before recording.
