It’s unclear what this is. It sounds like it might just be a way to automatically generate meeting notes for people who couldn’t attend? That could be useful for the kind of meeting where you’re just an audience member, not a participant.
But here’s a more science fiction spin on it:
Instead of thinking of this as “going to a meeting” think of it as “representing you.” That is, maybe it can try to answer questions on your behalf and it can give you a summary of what happened afterwards. Everyone will know it’s a representative, it can’t commit to anything, and it might not be entirely accurate, but maybe it’s better than not being able to ask you questions at all? (For example, when someone’s on vacation.)
I don’t expect that sending a person to represent your interests is common outside of maybe upper management and of course the legal profession, but perhaps it’s useful. It might be better than sitting through an entire meeting just in case someone might want to ask you a question?
I wonder, though, whether it would be better to just make a chatbot available for people to talk to at any time without it being a formal meeting. Also, what information does your representative actually use to answer questions?
Maybe a chatbot could be a way for people to make their semi-organized work notes available to others? Or make a vacation auto-responder that’s trained on a subset of your outgoing email.
Imagine what happens after someone leaves. “Sorry, she’s not available, but you can chat with her bot.”
