What is an AI meeting assistant?

The principle, the two main families of tools and the criteria for choosing.

The short answer

An AI meeting assistant is software that listens to a conversation, transcribes it and relies on artificial intelligence to help you: suggest answers, take notes, summarize the discussion. It leaves you the floor and saves you time before, during or after the conversation.

How it works

  1. Capture the sound of the conversation, on the microphone side and on the other participants' side.
  2. Transcribe it into text as it unfolds.
  3. Link it to your context: your documents, your brief, your CV.
  4. Suggest an answer or summarize the exchange.

Two families of tools

There are two main families. The live assistant supports you during the conversation: it finds the essentials and helps you find the words. The after-the-fact note tool transcribes the meeting and produces a report once it is over.

There are also two ways to take part: joining the meeting as one more participant, or running on your own device, next to the video-call tool. ALDO combines live assistance with a summary of each session, on your Mac.

What it is used for

Three uses come up most often:

How to choose

Five criteria help you compare:

  • The languages supported.
  • How your documents are taken into account.
  • The control you keep during the call.
  • The data: retention periods and deletion.
  • The output format: live answers, notes, summary.

And ALDO?

ALDO is a live assistant for Mac with Apple Silicon. It draws on your documents, cites its source, works in French, English, Spanish and Italian, and leaves you the floor.
