As you have seen before, Smartnotes are powerful tools for capturing and organizing knowledge. Among these, the "Meeting" Smartnote stands out as a specialized type designed to record and preserve the valuable insights and decisions that emerge from your team's gatherings. This unique Smartnote type is crafted to ensure that no crucial detail from your meetings slips through the cracks, and more importantly, it allows you to harness Hanna's AI capabilities to make the most of this information.
When you choose to create a Meeting Smartnote, you'll notice that it comes with additional fields tailored specifically for meetings. These fields include the date of the meeting, the time it took place, the timezone, and a space to list the participants. The participant field is particularly useful, as you can simply enter the names of attendees separated by commas, creating a clear record of who was present for the discussion.
But the true power of the Meeting Smartnote lies in what comes after you've filled in these basic details. This is where you can document the substance of your meeting—the discussions, decisions, action items, and any other relevant information. By inputting this data, you're not just creating a simple meeting minutes document. You can actually teach Hanna about the meeting's outcomes and context.
The AI processes and integrates this information into its knowledge base, allowing it to understand the context, importance, and implications of the meeting.
The real value of this feature becomes apparent when you start interacting with Hanna about past meetings. For instance, you might ask, "Tell me more about the meeting yesterday." Hanna, having learned from your Meeting Smartnote, can provide a comprehensive summary of the gathering. It might remind you of key decisions made, action items assigned, or important points of discussion. The AI can even draw connections between this meeting and other relevant information it has learned about your organization or ongoing projects.
But it doesn't stop there. Hanna's understanding of your meetings can be incredibly important. You could ask more specific questions like, "What did Sarah suggest about the new product launch in yesterday's meeting?" or "What were the main concerns raised in last week's budget meeting?" Hanna can sift through the meeting information it has learned and provide targeted, relevant responses.
This feature transforms your meeting documentation from a static record into a dynamic, interactive resource. It's like having a team member with perfect recall of every meeting, ready to provide insights and reminders at a moment's notice. This can be invaluable for keeping track of decisions, following up on action items, or bringing new team members up to speed on past discussions.
