K: Knowledge – Your Canary shaped Butler

How often have you been in a meeting when someone has asked a question and all participants have stopped concentrating in a rush to impress with the speed of their search term?

A lot right?

Now a well prepared for meeting should reduce the appetite to seek out additional data – but with the data world at our fingertips, it’s actually quite normal to just check some fact out live and satisfy yourself that the aphorism ‘there are no such things as bad ideas’ is really quite silly. In my experience in business more than half of the ideas expressed to me have been truly stupid.

So what can a small yellow bird do to help here?

Well there are two features of Meeting Canary that we made available to stop the inevitable distraction of asking open questions to a curious audience.

In chat within your meeting you can ask any question you like of Meeting Canary and the bird will give you an answer which is shared with all meeting attendees.

If you want to impress the audience you can even ask Meeting Canary with your voice, just say ‘Hey Meeting Canary, just how many coconuts can a swallow carry’ and the answer will appear, again in chat, saving you the wasted time of everyone looking it up (for the record It’s not a a simple question of weight ratios, a five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut……).

So every little helps – Meeting Canary is your canary shaped butler to not only help you get the most out of a meeting but also to hold in one place answers to those burning questions that most meetings will inevitably turn up.
