It's a lot.

It is a lot.

If you're a manager, if you're a VP, you spend more than 50% or 70% of your time in meetings.

Effectively, the employer spends most of their money paying people to go to meetings.

Exactly.

If you spend 50% of your time in meetings, effectively half of your salary is spent in meetings.

Traditionally, there's not even a method to evaluate, are these meetings even effective?

What's the return on that investment?

What are the contents that people talk about?

Again, people's brain can remember a small fraction of the contents of the meeting, and they forget really fast within the week.

Probably 90% of the things they already forgot.

Unless you share the meeting notes with the team, with even cross-functionally, the value of that note is very limited.

So it's really important to create that network effect of meeting data.

The definition of network effect is that the more content is created, the more people have access to it, the higher value it generates.

So this is, again, why a meeting-centric knowledge base is so important.

Another point I want to make is that I already saw some data that claims, I don't know how true it is, that claims that

50% of the written document on the internet, new content, is already generated by AI, rather than written by humans manually.

If you think about it, maybe in a few years, 90-95% of the written document will be generated by AI.

People will rarely write themselves.

Most people are not writers by design.
