Implement a feature that measures participation balance in meetings and detects if one person dominates the conversation or if off-topic discussions occur, suggesting separate meetings if necessary.
Has this happened to your team? Someone instead of giving their 2-minute update takes 15 minutes telling every detail like it's a full report. Then two people go off on a technical tangent for 20 minutes while the other 6 sit there (probably on mute, doing something else). The 15-minute meeting turns into an hour and the whole morning is gone. I've been a software engineer and architect for over 10 years and that frustration has followed me at every company. So I decided to build something to cut it at the root. I'm building MeetVitals, a silent bot for Microsoft Teams (no camera, no interruptions) that analyzes the meeting and drops a card at the end with what actually matters: Meeting "Hijack" Detection: Measures participation balance. It tells you if one person dominated the conversation or if it detected off-topic discussions, suggesting: "This should have been a separate meeting between X and Y". The Real Standup: Automatically extracts from the transcript what each person did, what they're going to do, and what's blocking them. No one has to take notes. Blocker Escalation: If the AI detects that a blocker has been mentioned for 3+ days without being resolved, it fires an alert. Meeting Cost: A dashboard that shows the team exactly how much money in engineering hours that 45-minute meeting cost. The elephant in the room (Privacy): I know putting AI in meetings sounds like Big Brother. I made sure this is 100% team-level coaching, not surveillance. Zero audio recording, zero individual performance scores, nothing tracking individuals for HR. I've been testing it with a couple of real teams and the data is eye-opening (e.g. realizing that Mondays you always lose twice as much time on the same topic). I've been heads down in the code for so long that I need hard, honest feedback. Do you see this being useful for your remote teams or is it a solution looking for a problem?
