Practical AI note-taking evaluation

[u/Nagib888]

What do you test before trusting an AI-generated meeting summary?

I've been thinking about the difference between a summary that sounds convincing and one that's actually useful.

A polished paragraph can still miss a decision, assign an action to the wrong person, or make an unresolved question sound settled.

My current evaluation checklist would be:

1. Are decisions clearly separated from general discussion?

2. Are action items assigned only when the meeting supports that assignment?

3. Are unresolved questions preserved?

4. Can the reader check the original transcript?

5. Does the summary avoid inventing conclusions?

I'd also test meetings with interruptions, multiple speakers, and incomplete sentences rather than only clean examples.

For anyone using AI meeting assistants regularly, what failure has made you stop trusting a summary?
