Chaos: The Blue Blob and the Meeting AI Secretary

Discovery: The meeting stayed, the notes got better, smoother to record, and the Blue Blob found the AI secretary sitting beside the calendar.

AI can make unnecessary work easier to preserve. Better notes are useful, but they do not automatically make the meeting necessary. Pattern is ensuring not more work is being added reviewing AI transcripts.
