Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Weird request, and i may just be used to copilot now, but my desk is in the reception area so people come up to it sometimes. When i'm in meetings and this happens, I usually ask co pilot, hey what did i miss in the last five minutes. Any way to get an ai like this or just a transcript?

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
It was an overview. Good information, but material like this can't really be learned in an hour. She did a great job.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Usually, we get a lot of material for the slide presentation and I only had 2 sheets and was wondering if that was everything. Great presentation as always, Thank you!

Would you please consider attaching the link to a recording of each session to the email you send after the session? It would very often be helpful to rewatch portions of the video and to have those recorded and available via link in an email right afterwards would be super beneficial.
