Your day is full of meetings. You probably spend too much time on mundane meeting tasks—things that impede progress, like note-taking. If we could automate these common activities, it would free us up to focus on getting stuff done.
Another challenge of meetings is how to extract the most value out of them—not just during, but after the meeting. Having the highlights, transcripts, and actions items all delivered to one place means you can easily share it out and assign tasks. You can even search across all your recording transcripts to find the exact spot where something important to you was said. That’s true value.
Of even greater value: Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings offers leadership word accuracy, and we’re the only provider today with in-house data management, preserving your security. Other conferencing vendors depend on third parties for transcription, which exposes your data to additional security risks.
