The St. Galler Tagblatt reported on Meeting Metrics and shows, using our start-up as an example, how artificial intelligence takes over repetitive tasks in everyday business life.
In the article "Meeting Metrics from St. Gallen: App Takes Over Minute-Taking", the Tagblatt writes about the transformation in the Eastern Swiss IT and start-up scene and how AI enables new business models.
Especially nice for us: Meeting Metrics is mentioned as an example of how AI creates tangible benefits in everyday life.
Minute-taking is often tedious
Anyone who regularly organizes meetings knows the problem: One person has to take notes, listen at the same time, record tasks, recognize decisions, and then summarize everything neatly.
That costs time and attention.
This is exactly where Meeting Metrics comes in. Our app records meetings, transcribes them, recognizes different speakers, and creates structured summaries, tasks, and minutes from them.
Swiss German is also supported. This is especially important for Swiss companies, municipalities, associations, and schools because many meetings are not conducted in standard German.
Using AI where it really relieves
The Tagblatt article addresses an important point: AI increasingly replaces repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
For us, this is exactly the right use of AI. It's not about removing people from meetings. On the contrary: people should be able to concentrate better on the conversation.
The AI then takes over the documentation:
- What was discussed?
- What decisions were made?
- What tasks arose?
- Who is responsible?
- Which open points remain?
This creates a usable protocol from a conversation without anyone having to write down every detail during the meeting.
From transcription to usable knowledge
Meeting Metrics does not just create a transcript. The real added value comes afterwards.
Structured results can be created from the meeting, for example:
- Meeting minutes
- Summaries
- Task lists
- Decisions
- Project information
- Offer drafts
- Internal documentation
This makes meeting knowledge easier to find and use. Especially in companies, a lot of information is lost after meetings because it only exists in private notes, chat histories, or memories of individual people.
Meeting Metrics helps to capture and reuse this knowledge.
Already 1,500 users
Since the public launch in March, Meeting Metrics has already been used by around 1,500 users.
The areas of application are diverse:
- Internal meetings
- Sales talks
- Project meetings
- Club meetings
- Conversations with customers
- Appointments in health or consulting environments
This shows: the need is not limited to a single industry. Wherever conversations need to be documented, AI can help.
An Eastern Swiss AI startup with a Swiss focus
Meeting Metrics was founded in St. Gallen. Our focus is especially on Swiss organizations that want to document meetings more efficiently while valuing data protection, Swiss German, and ease of use.
For companies with increased data protection requirements, we also offer Meeting Metrics Enterprise. Here, processing takes place entirely in Switzerland, including hosting, transcription, speaker recognition, and local AI processing.
This makes Meeting Metrics suitable for organizations such as municipalities, schools, administrations, and companies with confidential meeting content.
AI as an opportunity for companies
The Tagblatt article also shows a bigger trend: AI makes it easier for companies to implement ideas faster and automate repetitive tasks.
For us, meeting documentation is a particularly meaningful starting point. Almost every organization has meetings. Almost every organization loses time with minutes. And almost every organization benefits when decisions and tasks are better documented.
AI does not have to remain abstract. It can start where the benefit is immediately visible.
We are very pleased about the contribution in the St. Galler Tagblatt. It shows that AI is no longer just a topic for the future but already takes on concrete tasks in everyday work today.
With Meeting Metrics, we want to start exactly there: with a problem many know but hardly anyone likes to do.
Writing minutes was yesterday. Today, AI can help document meetings better, record tasks more clearly, and make knowledge usable in companies.
