Are AI Meeting Assistants Actually Worth It? Or are they just as much of a waste of time as the meetings themselves?
The average professional spends 102 minutes every day just searching for information they need to do their job.
No one wants more meetings and no one wants longer meetings. (If you do, please check our pricing - the more meetings you have, the cheaper it gets. We are slightly concerned though.)
The Meeting Paradox
But still meetings are here to stay, as old as glass sponges (we actually googled the oldest species on earth). Remember those back-to-back meetings when you still had a full head of hair? The hours spent trying to figure out why some (ridiculous in the hindsight) decisions were made that way, weaving together pieces from old slack threads and ancient docs. And the colleague who worked on it is conveniently no longer with the company, of course.
The AI Promise
It's the age of gen AI right? Surely AI assistants should help. The data even suggests that:
People who've adopted AI in their work are 90% more likely to report higher productivity levels
Are they genuinely that good? Well, we are not sure about those traditional AI meeting assistant, but you can always bet on Ducky - the powerful combination of knowledge base and meeting bot that actually gets it.
A Just Too Typical Pre-AI Workday
Before we dive deeper, let's check out what probably looks way too familiar:
- Spending 20 minutes before each meeting trying to find relevant context from past discussions (spoiler: never find it)
- Taking notes while trying to actually participate in the conversation (is multitasking really a thing?)
- Getting that dreaded "Hey, didn't we discuss this before?" question (yes, somewhere, sometimes)
- Promising to "follow up" with information that takes hours to track down (does it ever happen?)
The Reality Check
1. Giving back time and happiness
Let the bot handle the mundane tasks like capturing and organizing information, you can use your powerful brain for what it does best - engaging, creating, and building. The stuff that you actually enjoy.
2. Instant answers, we promise
No more "let me get back to you" or "I think we discussed this before..." followed by the never ending searching for information. With Ducky, you've got the power to pull up any decision or discussion from the past.
3. Finally, the knowledge base that actually works
Upload your documents once and let Ducky do the heavy lifting. Instead of spending hours searching, Ducky can quickly surface relevant information right when you need it.

Still skeptical about how ducky can make your meetings more productive? Well, considering we collectively waste 24 billion hours annually in unproductive meetings, what's there to lose? Ducky is free to try out!
Pro Tip:
Start small: pick one recurring meeting to test it with and focus on one problem you want to solve, like finding past decisions.
