Add to TeamsMeeting Canary × Ned.ai
Every other meeting tool gives you a transcript. We give you answers.
Transcriptions and AI summaries are everywhere. But they are generic and lack deeper analysis. If your meeting tool's headline feature is "records and summarises your meeting", it's not solving any meeting problems, only archiving them.
Meeting Canary and Ned.ai do something no competitor can touch: we combine live behavioural intelligence with 40+ years of validated cognitive science to tell you not just what happened, but why, and what to do about it. Start improving your meeting culture and meeting outcomes.
Your meeting tools have been good at telling you what happened. But that has not fixed your meetings.
The meeting intelligence market is crowded with tools that record, transcribe, and summarise. And yet: 71% of senior managers still say their meetings are unproductive.
Meeting fatigue is at a post-pandemic peak. The same dysfunctional patterns appear week after week. The cost of unproductive meetings exceeds $37 billion annually.
Perhaps documentation was never the problem; understanding was the problem. And understanding requires something other tools cannot provide: a validated framework for why people think and communicate the way they do.
Your meetings have a pattern. Let us show you what it is.
Meeting Canary tells you when your meeting is struggling. Ned.ai tells you why.
Generic AI assistants fail because they have no domain expertise and no validated methodology. Our partnership is founded on robust cognitive models and years of research, not an AI guess.
Meeting Canary has spent years perfecting the behavioural science of meetings. Live FiRE scores (Focus, Inclusion, Respect, Energy) visible inside Microsoft Teams, real-time behavioural nudges, post-meeting reports, meeting costs calculated, 100+ configurable intelligence features. All secure in your own Microsoft tenant. Know exactly what is happening in your meetings.
Now, partnered with Ned.ai, the cognitive intelligence engine backed by Herrmann's Whole Brain® methodology, tested and refined over four decades. The most widely validated framework for understanding how people think, now applied to your meetings. Even for organisations already using Whole Brain Thinking, this now allows you to move from workshops into everyday use.

Meetings don't fail only because people behave badly. They fail because teams think incompletely.
We are done with the era of meeting documentation. Transcripts don't change culture. Summaries don't change thinking. Behavioural nudges improve meetings, but not always the cognitive root causes. The best way to change meeting culture is understanding it; a deep, validated, science-based understanding of why people think the way they do, and what the absence of certain thinking styles costs you. That's what this partnership delivers.
Nothing else on the market does.
Answer the questions
simple note-taking tools are leaving unanswered
- Why do people leave an "alignment" meeting with different understandings of what was decided?
- What is the impact to energy levels when my meeting unexpectedly runs over?
- Why do the same decisions keep getting revisited two weeks later?
- Does this one colleague really interrupt me that much or does it only feel that way?
- How do I engage the people who consistently stay quiet?
- Why does the plan break down in execution when the meeting felt productive?
- How much collective time did it waste all 200 of us being here for this?
Benefits By Audience
Meeting Canary
The Behavioural Layer
Individuals
Know how you come across: how much you speak, who you have interacted with, interruptions, etc. Hard data about your meeting behaviour. Give feedback about meetings you didn't need to be in.
Teams
Real-time scoring of Focus, Inclusion, Respect, and Energy. Actionable insights provided in real time. Know which meetings are working and where behavioural breakdown occurs. Identify and reduce pointless meetings.
Organisations
Track the cost of all your meetings. Longitudinal FiRE data shows whether your organisation's meeting behaviours are genuinely improving (not just anecdotally). Compare meeting series or teams. Identify recurring problems.
Ned.ai
The Cognitive Layer
Individuals
Know how you think: see your cognitive style in real collaboration with analysis of how your thinking manifests in live meetings. Develop self-awareness and cognitive flexibility.
Teams
Get an effectiveness score across Results, Efficiency, Trust, and Agility, with plain language explanations for each. Which types of voices had no cognitive space to contribute? Which thinking styles dominated?
Organisations
Teams see their own patterns and name what's happening. Problems get surfaced earlier and resolved closer to where they start. Fewer things escalate. That's the ROI of meetings that actually work: less rework, fewer surprises, faster execution.
After the meeting, both layers land in your Teams chat. Having both in front of you lets you make connections you wouldn't see from either alone. Additional analysis, including across meetings, is visible in dedicated Teams tabs.
