Summaries are AI-generated from the meeting's YouTube captions (machine transcription — wording and spelling errors are the captioner's). Quotes are the captions verbatim with only capitalization adjusted for readability — hover any quote for the exact caption text; ▶ opens the recording at that moment. Captions carry no speaker labels, so names marked inferred are deduced from context, never treated as fact.
