We started using an AI meeting assistant to record and transcribe our Level 10 Meetings, but leaders seem more guarded during IDS and we end up with messy transcripts instead of crisp To-Dos. Should we use AI tools during our weekly pulse?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Most teams use AI in their Level 10 Meetings completely backwards. They invite a bot that records the entire ninety minutes, which immediately ruins team vulnerability. When leaders know every passionate debate and personnel critique is being recorded, stored, and transcribed into a permanent company record, healthy conflict dies. People start talking like politicians.

On top of that, an AI summary of a free-flowing IDS session generates paragraphs of disorganized text, which makes people lazy about writing binary, seven-day To-Dos during the wrap-up.

If you want to leverage AI for your meeting pulse, apply it to the preparation and execution tools, not as a live wiretap on your leadership team.

Use AI before the meeting to analyze operational data and spot anomalies on your Scorecard. Use AI after the meeting to help individual leaders draft implementation steps or standard operating procedures resulting from their assigned To-Dos.

During the meeting itself, stick to human discipline. You need a live scribe on your leadership team typing concise issues and capturing binary To-Dos in real time on a shared screen. A human scribe forces clarity in the moment: Who owns this, and what is the exact deliverable by next week?

Do not trade real-time accountability and psychological safety for an eighty-page transcript that nobody will ever read. Keep your Level 10 Meeting private, punchy, and human-led.
