Hey, Product Hunt crew! 👋 Everything we do at beams, is to help tech teams thrive. Today, we're stoked to share a tool we've cooked up to make your meetings matter more. We are building beams together with and for product and tech teams of all sizes. One of the challenges they all share is having too many meetings. And let's be real—unnecessary meetings can suck the joy out of your day faster than you can say "agenda item." You know that whole "this could have been an email" joke? Yeah, it hits different when it's your reality. But guess what? There's light at the end of the tunnel! From Shopify binning boring meetings to Elon Musk preaching the gospel of walking out on pointless chats, change is in the air. Enter our hero: "Meetings That Require Your Attention." Just sync up your Google Calendar, and boom! Find out which meetings seem to be non-value adding and how to turn 'em into something worthwhile. We're all ears for your thoughts! Let us know how we can improve this tool for you. So that we can all take back our calendars, one meeting at a time 🚀

Hey, Jana! Congrats on your launch! In my team, we have to conduct a large number of review meetings every day, with different people chairing each session. I'm looking for a way to track the usage time and overtime for each chairperson, as well as monitor participant engagement and gain insights during these meetings. Do you offer any features that can help with this?

Are there any success stories or case studies that demonstrate the impact of beams on meeting efficiency and productivity? 😁🚀 It would be interesting to read

Hiii Jana and Mihri! Congrats on your latest launch! This is so interesting! I'm wondering, how does it know what an ineffective meeting looks like? Also how does it calculate a costly meeting vs a non-costly meeting. Is it time based? thanks p.s. love the beams team!

This solution sounds like a great way to identify and optimize non-value-adding meetings, ensuring our team's time is focused on the most impactful work. Congratulations on the launch!

That's great. Meetings can be a big time sink and this can help to get rid of unnecessary ones!! I like these actionable insights.

Hehe loved the concept of 'ineffective meetings'. And it's so true. We spend a lot of hours on unnecessary meetings that could be addressed by a simple email or chat. Happy to see you helping on that Jana! All the best here!

I have been using Beams for the past ~2 years, and I can't imagine working without it anymore! I love the focus feature, which allows me to increase my productivity, as well as how easy it is to organize and join meetings. Definitely try it out if you are ppl like me who has >20 hours of meetings every week!

Great product! I'm curious to know, how does Meeting Muse identify non-value adding meetings? Are there certain criteria or metrics used?

This feature is soo valuable! Thanks for building this @jana_schellong and Beams team!

Congratulations on the launch! 🔥🔥🔥 Beam looks like a great tool for teams to start valuing their time more! The problems you discuss in the video — such as not having an agenda for meetings or inviting too many people when only a couple of them need to discuss the issue — are things we all struggle with from time to time. The ability to have an objective analysis of it all with the counted cost of time can really make teams' relationships with meetings healthier. Great job!
