This is what worries me. I'd say that >50% of the time, Copilot-generated summaries of meetings in which I was presenting misinterpret what I said in some important way.
I'd much rather (and do) take a couple minutes to write my own take-aways. It's the golden rule in a business context: I'd prefer to receive three one-sentence bullet points that are actually accurate over a couple pages of AI slop, so that's what I give to my colleagues.
The cross-language factor is an interesting angle I haven't had to contend with, though.
I need to do that kind of thing all the time—-and it annoys me to no end when people post the summaries in chats to “catch up” on a meeting, because I know they’re wrong. As an European who understands five languages well and can take some solid hints in many others, nothing beats actually listening or scanning a transcript.
They are quite accurate but the problem is that they sometimes leave out a critical piece of information said in the meeting that doesn't have a lot of repetition but that turns out to be like a crucial factor in the meeting and the LLMs completely miss that.
I turned on Apple Intelligence to summarize notifications from Outlook, Teams, etc. I haven't found it to be very accurate yet, especially for MS Teams.
Based on my experience, it's very risky. A lot of times, it connects similar but very different things that should be seperate and changes the meaning of the message/discussion
Not OP, but I'll answer from my experience trying several different tools for this: the good ones are roughly as accurate as having a human note taker, familiar with the domain terminology, would be on average.
