Companies are increasingly using AI bots in video meetings to mediate and enforce Zoom etiquette, including lecturing participants on their behavior. These bots serve as silent notetakers or transcribers, but can also provide feedback to speakers, such as urging them to vary their pitch. While some find the presence of AI bots eerie and disruptive to workplace dynamics, others see them as a helpful tool to address issues like interrupting others. However, the lack of nuance in the bots' interactions and the feeling of being surrounded by faceless bots can be unsettling for some.

Nuance, a Microsoft-owned AI company, has created an AI tool for physicians called DAX, which streamlines the note-taking process. The tool, powered by ChatGPT-4, automatically and securely creates clinical notes, with the patient’s consent, that are immediately available for the doctor to review after each patient visit. Doctors who are already using the tool have reported improved patient outcomes, greater efficiency, and reduced costs. The more obvious benefits of DAX are removing the administrative burden from physicians and reducing burnout, but the benefits extend to the patient as well.
