Meetings & Notes: common questions

Is it legal to record meetings with an AI notetaker?

Recording consent laws vary by location; some require all parties to consent. Announce the notetaker at the start of calls, use tools that display a visible bot or notice, and follow the strictest rule that applies to your participants.
