What is meeting governance?

Meeting governance means your company's meeting rules apply to every meeting, not just the ones people remember. Humace's AI agents check each meeting before it happens and work with the host and attendees in Slack to fix what doesn't fit.

People want to decline 1 in 3 meetings. They decline 1 in 7.

Meeting governance.

Your rules, applied to every meeting.

You stay in control.

Of what Humace does, and of the data it touches.

You set the freedom

  1. Ask the host. The host approves every change.
  2. Ask the manager. The host's manager approves.
  3. Act on its own. It applies your policy, then tells the host.

Your data stays yours.

Questions

Who writes the policy?

Your company does, usually operations or people leaders. Humace applies the policy you write.

What does it take to start?

Connect Slack and Google Calendar, then assign teams and their policies. Setup takes one day.

Does the agent change meetings on its own?

Only if you allow it. By default it asks the host. You can route approvals to managers, or let it act on its own within your policy.

How is this different from scheduling tools or notetakers?

Those tools work on one person's week or on a meeting that is already happening. Humace works before the meeting, across the company, on whether it should happen and who should be there.

Who is Humace for?

Companies with 500 or more employees that have tried to change their meeting culture and want the rules to hold.
