Why I'm building a note taking app without AI

The creator of Docket, a note-taking app for meetings, is deliberately avoiding AI features because he believes the process of manually distilling information during meetings is valuable in itself. He argues that active note-taking—choosing what's important to write down in real-time—helps professionals crystallize key insights and remember what matters, a cognitive process that AI cannot replicate. This approach is particularly important for senior professionals who must identify the few critical points amid hours of discussion.
