## Reported outcomes
- adoption (AI @ Morgan Stanley Assistant): 98% of Financial Advisor teams [1] (self-reported)

## How it works
1. With client consent, Debrief generates notes during client meetings and surfaces action items.
2. After the meeting it summarizes key points.
3. Drafts an email for the advisor to edit and send at their discretion.
4. Saves a note into Salesforce.

## Risks & compliance
- Client consent for recording
- Advisor reviews all client communications

## MedTech angle
Same post-meeting pattern (notes → CRM → follow-up draft) used by device reps after surgeon meetings.

## Notes
- The 98% adoption figure refers to the AI @ Morgan Stanley Assistant, not Debrief.
