A team whose members work from different physical locations, time zones, or both. Distributed is broader than "remote" — a team can be remote (all working from home) but still co-located in one city, while a distributed team spans multiple regions even if some members share an office. Distributed teams require deliberate practices: overlapping working-hours windows for sync work, written-first communication, recorded meetings for those who can't attend live, and explicit norms about response times. Meeting copilots are core infrastructure for distributed teams because they convert the synchronous meetings (which by definition exclude some time zones) into searchable async artifacts that everyone can consume on their own schedule.
