The shift in practices to ensure the workforce stays engaged and productive has brought friction to modern companies, forcing meetings to occur more frequently. According to Harvard Business Review, 70% of managers believe time in meetings is unproductive, creating a culture of burnout, information silos, and lack of action. These challenges require organizations to undertake a paradigm shift where technology enables a transformation with a continuous information flow to drive improved outcomes.
Sembly AI is a voice and conversation analytics technology company focused on natural language processing, founded by CEO Gil Makleff and CPO Artem Koren in 2019. SmartMeeting reimagines meetings with machine learning that can augment team collaboration and participation.
Using conversational AI from Sembly AI coupled with high-quality microphone and video technology from Philips, SmartMeeting accurately captures discussions. Multi-modal transcription automatically analyzes and summarizes subjects with key item detection of actions, issues, and sentiment to deliver high-quality, at-a-glance summaries, and customized, searchable insights with integration across all meeting platforms.
"It’s difficult to be everywhere at once, despite technology-driven connectivity," says Gil Makleff. "The business value of SmartMeeting is its answer to the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) factor of a distributed workforce culture and its ability to gain accurate, AI-driven insights without actually being in meetings. Technology supports the goals of many modern companies to democratize data, encourage cross-team collaboration and drive outcomes from meetings in increasingly hybrid or remote environments."
SmartMeeting also offers elevated collaboration and increased engagement for users that don't want or don't have the possibility to attend a meeting. The SmartMeeting agent will join any call it is invited to, introduce itself and record the call. After the meeting, sharable, automated meeting minutes are available with a high-accuracy transcript and smart summary.
"SmartMeeting combines best-in-class 4k video and HD audio with conversational AI technology, enabling users to capture all speakers and benefit from a smart assistant. In this way, users effectively address today’s workplace culture and prioritization of information access, while driving actional outcomes from meetings of any type," adds Dr. Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions.
The SmartMeeting HD Audio and Video Conferencing Solution (PSE0550) features user detection to identify the speaker and separate who said what in meeting transcripts, and offers integration with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex software. The 4K camera captures clear video with autoframing and speaker tracking, while a built-in 360° microphone array with noise-canceling technology allows for clear recordings of voice, essential for accurate transcripts.
SmartMeeting is currently available to purchase at Staples, Office Depot and through distribution at Ingram Micro and D&H Distributing with at a list price of $499.99.
Speech Processing Solutions (SPS) is the dictation company with speech-to-text solutions sold under the Philips brand, including web-based and desktop software as well as dictation devices.
