I would pay cold hard cash if I could easily create an AI avatar of myself that could attend teams meetings and do basic interaction, like give a status update when called on.
But lets talk about the sentiment behind here. Am I the only one seeing some terrible things being done with AI in terms of time management, meetings, and written materials? Asking AI to "turn this nice concise 3 paragraphs into a 6 page report" is a huge problem. Everyone thinks they're an amazing technical writer now, but most good writing is concise and short and these AI monstrosities are just a waste of everyone's time.
Reform work culture instead! Why do we have cameras on our faces? Why are we making these reports? Why so many meetings? "Meeting culture" is the problem and it needs to go, but it upholds middle-management jobs and structures, so here we are asking for robots of us to sit in meetings with management to get just the 8 bullet points we need from that 1 hour meeting.
We've entered a new level of kafkaesque capitalism where a manager puts 8 bullets points into an AI, gets a professional 4 page report, then turns that into a meeting for staff to take that report and meeting transcript to...you guessed it, turn it back into those 8 bullet points.

It's not a matter of AI, it's a matter of how Teams or Meet or Zoom allow programmatic access to the video and audio streams (the presence APIs for attending a meeting are mostly there, I think).
