So this just happened today so it’s fresh in my mind and feeling from the keen sting of my embarassment.
Today, we had a pre-sales call with a client for the first time. After our team joined, the client was running late and we waited patiently, chitchatting amongst ourselves.
After about 10 minutes or so, I got impatient and started griping that this client seems flaky or low interest. I also went on to add that the client was in a domain that requires a lot of scrutiny and compliance on data security. This led to us discussing other clients we had met with in a similar domain and how they didn’t convert.
Finally, I STFU when someone asked to join the meeting. The client had one of their subordinates join the call but we decided to reschedule because they had audio issues. Everyone calmly dropped off.
Then my colleague tells me that we didn’t kick the AI note taker out of the meeting and it sent the notes to everyone including the client…
I check my email and lo and behold! My scandalous monologue, where I doubted the sincerity of the client was meticulously transcribed by this AI and shared with the client.
A few minutes later, I see an angry email from our higher ups highlighting the FU…
I apologized profusely but was let off because “it happens to the best of us”.
Lesson learned. The walls have ears. The notetakers have pens too.
TL;DR – Talked shit during a meeting before a client joined. Got ratted out by the AI notetaker that sent the transcript to everyone including the client.

omg lmao AI snitching on u is peak 2025 energy
Oof, meetings can be a minefield. Sometimes an AI notetaker helps by catching what you missed, but it can’t save you from saying too much! Hope the aftermath wasn’t too rough.
Like a cop with a body cam. Honestly though, customers know that sometimes they’re the ahole. If they don’t, you don’t want them, because they’ve never had the wherewithal to see it.
The other gotcha is when you start the shit talk after the people have logged off… but the note-taker is still there.
Haha, meetings can get unpredictable! Having an AI notetaker helps by capturing details when things veer off, so you can focus more and worry less about missing important bits.
Meetings can be unpredictable; having an AI notetaker helps catch every detail so you can focus on the conversation instead of worrying about slip-ups.
Oof, meetings can be brutal sometimes. We’ve all said things we wish we could take back. If you ever want a tool to help keep an accurate record of what’s actually said, AI notetakers can be a lifesaver during calls.
