The Problem No One's Talking About

You get an AI-generated meeting summary in your inbox.

It's thorough. Comprehensive. Well-structured.

And you still don't read it.

Here's what actually happens:

Most people skim it for 1-2 minutes, looking for key items.

You're scrolling for the signal. Your brain is filtering noise. You catch maybe what you think matters—but you might miss critical details because they weren't highlighted.

Many ask for a TLDR instead.

The original note-taker rewrites it. Takes time. Different stakeholders get different versions of the same meeting. You've now created multiple sources of truth.

Some people save it to read later.

It never gets read. It sits in your inbox graveyard—a debt you never collect on.

And a few ignore it completely.

They act on incomplete information. Or they ask in Slack later, disrupting async communication.

The Real Problem Isn't Summarization

Your AI tool already solved that. Meeting summaries are better than ever.

The problem is this: AI solved the first mile (getting the content). It didn't solve the last mile—getting people to actually read it.

We shifted the bottleneck from transcription to communication.

We didn't eliminate it. We just renamed it.

Something's Coming

I'm thinking deeply about how to fix the last mile.

Not by writing better summaries. By making finished summaries actually readable.

Stay tuned.
