Ashish Kothari explores how behavioral science and AI could redesign meetings. Personalized agendas, adaptive presentation styles, and real-time awareness of who dominates and who holds back could draw out quieter voices and align content to how people actually think.

If every meeting on your calendar tomorrow was suddenly redesigned based on behavioral science and all the amazing AI-driven collaboration insights that, uh, you've been pioneering, how different would the team experience be from today?
Transformational. Conceptually, every meeting would be more effective, every meeting would be more engaging for each person, more personalized. You'd have a higher vibration of energy, and everything would be in tune and aligned with what motivates people and how they like to work, communicate, and engage. I'll give you an example. Imagine laying out your agenda differently based on what would engaging to each person, the order of the topics, how you present, whether it's directive one-to-many or ensuring a group discussion or starting with brainstorming, presenting in a more conceptual versus detailed way depending on if the group is detailed or conceptual. Imagine knowing going in who's not going to speak up and who's going to have difficulty expressing themselves so you can draw out those person's insights and every meeting making sure that everyone is seen. Today that doesn't happen because people don't know who's speaking because they're aggressive versus who hold back because they don't— they're not very aggressive. You get rid of conflict.
