Use it for

A first draft of meeting notes you will edit anyway

Skip it if

Accents, crosstalk, or anything legal-grade

What it is

Joins calls, transcribes, and produces a summary with action items attributed to speakers. The value depends entirely on whether it is invited to the meetings that matter. Accuracy drops with accents and crosstalk, so it is a first draft, not a record.
