When I was first introduced to AI note taker Quill I couldn’t immediately see what it could add to my AI stack — currently a blend of ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. But after a week of using it to record all my meetings, the thing I ended up regretting most was not what I expected.
As a journalist, AI transcription software makes interviewing people way easier. If your job involves back-to-back meetings, it’s probably something you can benefit from too. But these tools can also be useful beyond the office, whether you want to record a club meeting, make your favorite podcasts searchable, or quickly capture your spoken thoughts when inspiration strikes.
