Dan Woods: How To Get More Out Of Meetings: The Promise Of Aloe.ai

Aloe.ai. The company is breaking new ground in providing contextually aware AI-powered assistance to support productivity before, during, and after meetings

Their technology is designed to help us achieve a fully realized productivity capability from CRM, without having to do what is impossible for most companies, which is to have every single person act with tremendous discipline and enter everything immediately after a prospect or customer interaction with precision. Further, Aloe.ai asserts that having everybody act with that discipline may be actually a waste of valuable time and that’s why it actually doesn’t happen.

The path to Aloe.ai was paved by an earlier startup of Ross Kudwitt’s called Crisply, founded in 2012, that had a related but substantially different mission

“Originally, we wanted to do timesheets automatically for individuals, so they knew where their time goes,” he said. “Not in a big brother way, but just so they could see what they were spending their time on and adjust their behavior to allocate their time more rationally, like a Fitbit for work.”

The goal of Crisply was to harvest data from all available sources to assemble a comprehensive view of how someone spends their time. That’s where Kudwitt hit a dead-end. The problem with Crisply was that the digital exhaust needed to track and describe how everyone was spending their time did not exist in sufficient quantity or quality to allow the machine learning based application to succeed.

We realized there was no visibility into any of the meetings people have in businesses,” he said. “And so we created Aloe.ai with the mission to give professionals perfect recall, multimedia signal capture, and effective preparation.

mobile cameras and styluses such as the Apple Pencil and Microsoft Surface Pen are highly effective input devices.

It’s a note-taking and tasking tool that runs as an app on phones, tablets and desktops. Aloe.ai provides users with information that’s valuable when preparing for a meeting

Once meetings occur, Aloe.ai allows notes to be captured however a user wants, wherever they are. This can be via typing, a stylus, or even scanning handwritten notes. The interface can also incorporate photos and videos, so that a person could take a picture of the notes on a whiteboard

In future releases, Aloe.ai will listen, summarize, and pull out the most important information

When it comes to the company’s mission of perfect follow-up, Aloe.ai thus allows users to know immediately what they promised, who promised them what, and what their next steps should be.

it also helps with compliance. Because nowadays in FinTech it’s really important to document each interaction and explain what you’ve offered

The foundation of Aloe.ai technology is the note (Note-Taking)

Aloe.ai captures content through the notes of everyone involved in a meeting

if we act as if people will always be perfect about using the collaborative systems in their workplace, we ignore that most tools won’t be used this way. Instead, we need solutions for how we really operate. Real Collaboration Challenges
