That AI meeting note taker I thought was a gimmick actually saved my bacon

I run a small landscaping crew in Denver and was skeptical of those AI tools that listen in and write meeting summaries for you. Last month I forgot to take notes during a big client walkthrough for a $4k patio install and totally panicked. Tried one of those free AI notetakers on a whim for the next meeting just to see if it worked. The transcript caught a whole section about drainage grading that I completely missed, no way I would have remembered that detail. Anyone else find a specific AI tool that surprised you after you wrote it off?

@joel280 my buddy runs a crew too and said the same thing after he missed a client's exact paver color.

Tried Otter for my own small business and yeah I was dead wrong about it. The first time I used it I caught two follow ups from a client I would have totally spaced on. Honestly it felt like cheating at first but now I just let it run during every walkthrough and subcontractor meeting. Ngl I still forget to take manual notes half the time but the AI picks up all the little details about material specs and timelines that my brain just refuses to store.
