    I paid the $30 today for their 365 Pilot and asked it to summarize a meeting for me that was recorded and it couldn’t even find the meeting.

    But hey, I’m sure Cisco will do a better job. Everybody I know keeps asking about Cisco’s AI. Maybe it will finally give a good answer as to why I should pay a subscription to own an access point.

      I’m in agreement that this stuff is painfully useless.

      But “it couldn’t even find the meeting” sounds more like a configuration problem and less like a comment on the product’s quality.

        From time to time Teams doesn’t show me a teams meeting that I have on my outlook calendar, so I’d believe it.

        I’m not even sure how it’s configured. I added the license, added the app to Teams, and asked it to summarize a meeting that I knew had been recorded. When it couldn’t find the meeting, I asked it for a list of meetings that I had on that day. It responded with a partial list, not including the correct meeting. The correct meeting was visible in both the Outlook and Teams calendars.

      That’s my bad. I was trying to say it was so not useful. Poor wording on my part.
