... Anthropic says Claude Meetings can draft plans, build timelines, answer questions in the meeting chat, and more. Claude will pull up information from apps during calls, so users don't have to switch apps to do the same. After the meeting, the notes, action items, and materials Claude creates remain available through the regular Claude interface on web, desktop, or mobile.

The feature is now in beta for Anthropic Team ($25 per person per month) and Enterprise (minimum $400 per month) customers. Anthropic says it plans to support other meeting platforms later. The company hasn't shared when the product will be available or how much it will cost once it's rolled out more broadly. ...

At this point if you aren't learning how to harness AI to your benefit, welcome the dustbin of history.

Where was Claude when I had daily warehouse meetings before work for 26 years could've used him then.

That your comment describes the need to "harness" AI is curious.

If a business allows AI into its meetings, why should there be a need to "harness" that AI?

Are employees similarly "harnessed?"

Also, a couple questions ...

How might that AI share or use the information it learns from that business meeting?

And, this is the important one ...

If such sharing is wrong, who can the corporations sue for damages?

What a delightful way to stupidly spend tokens to get a worse result than a human taking notes, because humans remember the stuff better when we write it down, and we don't remember ---- when somebody else takes notes for us.

They'll spend money on anything but higher wages.

Number of lines of code isn't a good measure of productivity.

Tokens are the same thing, only with additional economic, environmental and social costs.

So we're going to cover the Earth with 200k sqft thirsty, high-energy cost buildings just so we don't have to take meeting notes?

This technology was supposed to cure cancer and solve poverty and hunger. Or as Elon likes to spew, give us "sustainable abundance".
