What Are AI-Powered Meeting Summaries?

AI-powered meeting summaries revolutionize note-taking by generating concise, precise, and actionable records of your meetings. With little-to-no work from you.

Meet Sophia Bot. SoWork's AI-powered meeting assistant. Sophia Bot swiftly identifies key discussion points throughout your meeting and crafts well-structured summaries, decisions made, and action items. Then, she shares them with your team. Save time, boost efficiency, and supercharge knowledge sharing.


Why AI-powered meeting summaries?

  • Time-saving: Eliminates the need for manual notetaking, summarization, and identifying action items.

  • Improved organization: Keeps track of crucial information, action items, and follow-ups to ensure nothing is missed.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Provides easy access and review of meeting highlights for all team members. In SoWork, this includes spontaneous meetings where value is high and knowledge sharing is usually low.

  • Increased productivity: Allows teams to focus their time on the highest priority work. Makes meetings more productive, cutting hours of waste each week.
