Why Most Meetings Fail (And How AI Meeting Assistants Are Fixing It)

Here's a stat that should bother anyone who works in an office: professionals spend an average of 23 hours per week in meetings, and executives estimate that over 70% of those meetings are unproductive. That's not just wasted time - it's wasted potential. We've been trying to fix meetings for decades. Standing meetings, timeboxed agendas, no-meeting Wednesdays. Some of these help. But the core problem persists: most of the value from a meeting - the decisions made, the action items assigned, the context shared - gets lost within hours of the meeting ending.
