Never Lose a Thought: Using AI to Keep Knowledge at Your Fingertips
If you’re tired of digging through old notes, missing important details, or spending hours trying to get everyone on the same page, this talk is for you. We’ll look at how AI—particularly large language models and emerging approaches like OpenAI’s “o1” model—can capture, organize, and surface the knowledge you need, right when you need it. Learn how to automatically transcribe meetings so you can stay present, effortlessly summarize key insights, and build an evolving knowledge base that keeps everyone aligned. It’s about freeing yourself from information overload so you can focus on the creative, high-impact work that really matters.
