Hey Product Hunt 👋 Jay here, founder of Shadow. This is our 4th time launching here, and the most meaningful one for me. Each launch shaped what Shadow became. The community here pushed us, called out what didn't work, and stuck with us. I'm a different founder than I was at launch one, and Shadow is a different product. Thank you all 🙏 Here's something most people don't know about us. We never set out to build a meeting assistant. 👉 What we cared about from day one was closing the gap between your world and AI. Meetings were just where we started. The most obvious place where context gets lost the fastest, and the most urgent thing to solve. So we did that first. But meetings were never the whole point. So here's what we've been thinking about. ⌨️ The keyboard and 🖱️ mouse. They have been around for decades. They were built for a world where you do the executing. You type every word, click every button, do every step. But that world is changing. AI writes, codes, replies, decides. Execution is no longer just yours to carry. And yet, every time you want AI to help, you stop what you're doing, open a chat box, and start copying, pasting, prompting. You become the bridge between your world and AI. A new way of working, but the same old interface. ✨ Shadow V2 is what we always wanted to build. An interface built not for execution, but for thought. One that captures what you see, hear, and say, and runs the prompts you build. The biggest addition is ⚡️Action Skills. Press a keyboard shortcut on any screen, say what you want, and Shadow runs your Skill right there. No copy, no paste, no prompt. A few examples: - ⚡ Quick Reply reads the email on your screen and drafts the response from what you say. - 🎙️ Voice Typing turns talking into clean writing in any text field, about 4x faster than typing. Every Skill is yours to edit. A prompt, what Shadow watches, where the output goes. Change any of them and you have a new Skill. 📝 Meetings got better too. We rebuilt the transcription engine from the ground up, faster and more stable than before. Speaker labeling is significantly improved, which was one of your most requested fixes. No bot ever joins your call, audio stays on your Mac, and your meeting becomes whatever Skill you point at it. A few things we cared a lot about: - 🚫 No bot ever joins your call. - 🤖 Fully autonomous, runs without you even knowing. - 🔒 Audio stays on your Mac, local transcription - 🔗 Webhook and Markdown export for everything If you've used Shadow before, thank you for sticking around 🙏 V2 is what V1 was always pointing toward. If you're new, welcome 👋 Would love to hear what Skills you'd build first. Jay
