Stop recapping and start delivering. Shadow captures every insight, transforms decisions into action, and ensures you make the most of your meeting data. Turn discussions into real progress—with Shadow, all your conversations lead to results, not just notes.
🎉 Huge congrats Jay @jaythesong and the Shadow team on the PH launch! The "Turn discussions into real progress" vision is spot-on—especially love how you auto-extract tasks while keeping data local. Privacy-first + actionable insights = genius combo! 💡
The "No Bots in meetings" approach is a game-changer for trust.
One thought: Could future Skills prioritize tasks or auto-route them to tools like Notion? (Psst… Our no-code Agent builder Tate-A-Tate has a Skill marketplace that could supercharge this! 🤝)
P.S. Let’s collab? Imagine Shadow users building custom post-meeting agents with Tate’s marketplace. DM me—let’s make meetings 10x smarter! 🚀
Congrats on the launch of Shadow! You're addressing a real pain point—so many meetings end without clear follow-through, and it's easy for insights to get lost.
How does Shadow differentiate between actionable decisions and general discussion in real time during a meeting???
This is slick — love the vibe and simplicity. Shadow feels like the kind of tool that should just exist on every desktop by default. Huge fan of tools that disappear when you don’t need them and feel like magic when you do. Congrats on the launch! 👏🔥
User review - using since about Nov 24 - as with most software there have been a few hiccups but @jaythesong has been super responsive and supportive taking on user feedback and solving issues pretty quickly. Still using it and the new features make it better and better. Def worth checking out.
Honestly, this has been the best AI meeting notetaker I've used. I absolutely love it and don't know what I would do without it
I’ve been very happy with Shadow, both this release and the prior one. Having Shadow in the background has saved me a few times when our standard meeting notetaker wasn’t added to the meeting; I was able to pull up notes quickly and add some detail from the transcription.
Also, Jay is awesome and responds to user concerns and feedback.
Love Shadow, it fills a big gap for us as we are heavy Slack users doing huddles all the time, and we want to have accurate meeting notes from those. It even records other video comms if you set it up correctly.
The Skills are also very useful, I'm looking forward to using this product a lot in future. If screen recording is added, this will be a must-have for all global workers, you'll never forget what you said in that Slack Huddle again.
Easiest upvote of my week. Shadow is hands down my favorite AI notetaking tool of 2024… and probably 2025… honestly locking in my pick for 2026 at this point.
It’s also my favorite AI tool of 2024… and probably 2025… and… you get the point.
I’ve tried them all - Granola, Krisp, Otter, Fathom, and the other weird names. Granola’s solid (I used it for a while), but once I tried Shadow, I stuck with it all year. Way more flexible, runs locally (no audio getting sent to the cloud), and the custom actions are just the cherry on top. (And yes, this has no bots)
Bonus points for the dev team. They’re super responsive on Slack. Actually listens. Even when they say “not yet”, you can tell they really considered it. Gives me confidence to stick with it in the long run.
Feels like one of those tools you quietly start using… and then can’t work without.
10/10, would recommend.
Love the knowledge base. That's something I've been thinking about for a while, how we can essentially expand our brains and leverage all this knowledge that we have but may not quite remember. This seems like a good way to do it.
No meeting bot is my favorite thing about Granola. Interested to take a look at Shadow!
Have been using Shadow for a number of months now and have been super impressed. The team behind shadow are very engaged, very open to feedback and input, act on that feedback and communicate well with the community on slack.
The community are all invested in contributing to the roadmap and making the product better.
The product has been though a number of evolutionary steps and new functionality continues to be added.
It works really well to keep track of my conversations, provide useful notes and actions and provides the ability to act on those actions saving time and energy. It's been a game changer for my work life.
This feels like the kind of tool that quietly changes how teams operate. Clean vision, solid execution. I can see Shadow being a staple for async-first teams and PMs alike.
Wow — Shadow looks super useful! Love how it turns meeting discussions directly into actionable tasks. Definitely something I’d want to try with my team. Great work on the launch!
Great idea! However, regarding data security—would users need to install large local LLMs (1GB or more), potentially increasing the overall installation size? Also, what kind of technology is Shadow leveraging for this?
really cool, would love to be able to integrate it to chatgpt and slack and email as well - to collect my todo list from everywhere
(and ideally, track completion??)
I saw the website and read the descriptions. It seems very good, but I still can't see a big diference between a ton of other tools available, including Gemini itself in Google Workspace subscription (cheap and Gemini sumarize everithing that is said in a meeting). What am I missing here?
Shadow looks like a game-changer—finally a tool that turns meetings into momentum, not just more notes. Love the privacy-first, no-bot approach. Excited to see how the “Skills” evolve and integrate with existing workflows! 🚀
