AI in AEC: Note-Taking & Meeting Efficiency

Meetings are a necessary part of AEC firms, but they often lead to wasted time, forgotten action items, and inefficient follow-ups. This week on AI in AEC, Jeff Echols and Frank Lazaro unpack AI-powered note-taking tools that can transform how firms capture, summarize, and act on meeting insights.

From built-in AI companions in Zoom and Teams to third-party tools like Otter.ai, Fireflies, and Fathom, we explore how these platforms help firms streamline workflows, save time, and boost productivity. Whether you’re looking to improve internal collaboration, enhance client communications, or speed up reporting from site visits, AI note-takers can help you find those valuable 12 minutes a day that add up to real impact.

Key Takeaways:

• How AI note-takers work and why they matter for AEC firms
• Best tools available, from built-in options to third-party platforms
• Real-world use cases: from project meetings to field reports
• The 12-minute rule: How small time savings add up over the year
