Are you interested in learning more innovative ways to make your board meeting preparation efficient? Are you wondering how artificial intelligence (AI) could play a role in doing so?
Meet OnBoard Intelligent Assistant, an AI-powered capability that can understand your questions and can provide valuable insights from your board and governance information. It’s now available at no additional cost to all OnBoard customers.
The technology hasn’t made its way to every corporate boardroom, but it’s coming. A 2023 Gartner survey cited “AI was the top technology that CEOs believe will significantly impact their industry over the next three years, cited by 21% of survey respondents.”
Let’s take an in-depth look at the capability, and how it can benefit your board of directors, and by extension, your organization.
How Does Intelligent Assistant Work?
OnBoard Intelligent Assistant serves as a user-friendly AI capability, designed to enhance board professionals’ efficiency and streamline workflows by integrating seamlessly within the OnBoard platform. It delivers AI-driven insights that are tailored to unique contexts, and it’s especially good at summarizing large volumes of content and data, generating talking points, brainstorming, and identifying risks and trends that may otherwise go unnoticed by even the most astute board director.
This means board members will be more able to digest your organization’s information more quickly and easily. Say goodbye to spending hours on end reading reports, planning agenda items, or creating discussion points for meetings. Intelligent Assistant can support the bulk of the work for you, saving valuable time.
How it works:
- In the mobile app or web version of OnBoard, click or tap on the Intelligent Assistant icon to get started.
- Intelligent Assistant is already aware of the meeting and resource document you’re reviewing at the moment.
- Open a sample document and ask it to do any of the following:
- Summarize your document
- Identify key risks or legal concerns
- Provide strategic insights
- Generate presentation notes
- Create talking points
- Drag and drop the icon anywhere on your screen.
