the problem is not that meetings are unrecorded. it is that the only way to obtain what a session contains is to spend the session.
being there
costs
too much.
an hour of live attendance for one figure, one date, or one confirmation you needed. a webinar that overlaps with your actual work.
the office hours session where the only thing you need is one link they will paste in chat, announced live and never written down.
summaries of sessions you already sat through, adding reading time to time already spent.
registration, waiting rooms, and presence requirements that exist before any value is delivered.
the hackathon kickoff call at 3am your time. the session that matters happens at an hour that does not work for your life.
a quarterly review where you need to ask one question during q&a, and the answer determines your roadmap.
- 01everything moved to live calls
product updates, community announcements, and decisions increasingly happen in synchronous rooms rather than documents.
- 02summaries answered the wrong question
note-taking tools assume you are in the meeting and ask what happened. they are companions. the unmet need is a proxy: what you specifically wanted from a session you were never in.
- 03delegation had no digital equivalent
sending someone in your place is normal in the physical world and has had no clean online counterpart.
attendance is the price. information is the product.
prixy targets that gap directly: keep the information, drop the requirement that you be the one in the room.
