Lessons learned often start with dialogue
Introducing Tess, the PayShepherd Lessons Learned meeting bot.
Every construction team agrees that lessons learned matter. Very few teams capture them well and surface them when it matters the most.
The reason is simple. Learnings often start as a conversation, and that is when they are the most relevant. Teams solve problems together and collaboratively. Someone mentions on a Tuesday progress call that the ground was too wet to pour, that the crew lost two days, and that the concrete sub needs 48 hours of notice to reschedule. Everyone on the call nods. The call ends.
By closeout, most of that knowledge has already left the job site. The team writes down what it can still remember, files it, and moves to the next job. The next team starts from zero and pays for the same delay again.
What we built
Tess is a meeting bot that joins your project meetings and captures the lessons inside them. She works in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, so there is nothing new for your team to learn.
How this is different from your typical meeting bot
She produces lessons, not notes. The output is structured, reviewable, and searchable. It becomes part of your lessons library with your governance structure, so a lesson from Phase 1 is available to the team running Phase 4, or to a completely different job two years from now.
She participates. This is the part we are most excited about. Tess has the full context of what your team just discussed, so you can ask her a question in the meeting chat and get an answer right there without anyone leaving the call or pulling up a new tab.
"Our industry has spent decades treating lessons learned as paperwork at the end of a job. That is backwards. The knowledge gets created every single week, in conversation, by the people doing the work. Tess takes care of that part across every single conversation."
