Overreliance on AI + Not listening to Users
I've been disappointed in the last few months about this organization's reliance on and adoption of AI tools like Claude. I share my time for free because I want to help the people in front of me but the more AI elements ADPList has rolled out, the more I feel like it's trying to steal insights and recommendations from myself and other mentors. I have specifically turned off AI summaries on my sessions but still received AI summaries, nevertheless. Makes me think that my choices as a user are not actually being listened to. I moved my time and energy elsewhere. I would recommend other mentors do the same.
Response from ADPListJul 22, 2026
Hi Lex, Felix here, founder of ADPList. Thank you for saying this plainly instead of just leaving. You gave your time for free, so you deserve a precise answer. Here is exactly what I found when I went through our code this morning. You are right about the part that matters most. You turned AI Note Taker off and still received summaries. Your setting does control whether your own voice is transcribed, and that part did work; you were never transcribed. What it does not do is stop the summary from reaching you when the person you are meeting has notes turned on. So you were sent a record built only from their side of the conversation. That is a gap in our design rather than something you misread, and I am fixing it so that turning the feature off means you stop receiving it too. On the larger concern, I want to be equally straightforward. These summaries are not there to harvest mentor knowledge. Both people in a session get the same record, and its only purpose is so the two of you can pick up where you left off. We do not sell it, and we do not build products out of your advice. I would rather have this conversation with you directly than through a review. felix(at)adplist(dot)org comes straight to me, and I will answer anything you want to ask.
