General questions

Is all the information in minutes accurate?

Large language models are not truth machines.

The accuracy of minutes from smAily may vary as the app is based on large language models that are based on probabilities ("probalistic") and are not always perfect. Therefore, you should not regard minutes as the only or absolute source of truth. Various factors influence the quality and accuracy of minutes:

Audio recording quality: A clear and interference-free recording delivers better results.

Context provided: The more context information is available, the more precisely the AI can work.

Development of the language model: The system is constantly evolving. Updates can therefore improve performance and are recommended.

It is important that you check the accuracy of the log upon receipt and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that all information is correct and complete.

How do I get the best results?

Although smAily also works with background noise and limited sound quality, you will get the best results in a quiet environment with clear sound quality. Here are some tips to optimize accuracy:

Introduce participants
At the start of the session or interview, state the names of the participants. This helps the app to assign the voices correctly.

Use names
Address participants by name during the meeting to improve the allocation of votes.

Clear communication

long pauses in speaking and make sure that several people are not speaking at the same time.

By following these instructions, you can ensure that the minutes are as accurate as possible.
