Laugh, cry, and nod along as you scroll through these rants about today's meeting tools. A case for why you need a better meeting tool —something more than a cluttered UI with subpar AI integrations, but more importantly, one that breaks the context silos!
Virtual meetings are part of our daily work schedule, yet they’re also one of the most exhausting activities. Besides the obvious - boring UI/UX, untimely updates, a pain to integrate, and subpar AI-integrations, there’s another major problem - meeting tools work in silos! The entire experience is disconnected from the rest of our “work tools!”
The problem seemed clear; however, given the inaction of most video conferencing platforms, we decided to validate our hypothesis—whether people actually hate the experience or if it was just us.
We quickly put together a Notion Page with embedded posts from X (Twitter), Threads, and Reddit. Over time, this became a massive collection we dubbed “That’s What You Said!” and today, we’re here to launch the collection on Product Hunt!
I hope you enjoy our fun project and share your thoughts on the topic below.
P.S.: If you share a mutual dislike of the existing tools, check out the Video Calling App (yes, we YOLOed the name)—it’s an AI-native video conferencing tool that automates the end-to-end meeting workflow and maintains relevant context. Also, it’s a modern UI/UX, the kind you’d expect in 2024!
Looking forward to seeing you on the other side.
Just tried this app and wow, the user interface is absolutely stunning! The colors pop in just the right way, making the overall experience very pleasing. It performs seamlessly on my device, @abhishek_kankani
Cool product. Congratulation to your launch, Abhishek! just gave it a good upvote
Haha. Really like your homepage. Game is change now, fire at Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and WebEx.
hilarious way to highlight the frustrations we all face. love the idea of gathering real rants from x, threads and reddit.
how has the response been so far? and can you share more about how your new video calling app will tackle these pain points?
btw congrats on the launch, Abhishek and team!
I love the idea of reading voice messages. How does That's What You Said handle different accents or background noise?
This is exactly right! We really need a meeting tool that doesn't just make things more cluttered. What features, in your opinion, would really dissolve those context silos?
I like the direct perspective on meeting tools! It's obvious that we require something superior to what exists. I hope you have success advocating for a more effective approach and that soon there will be improvements!
Reading this made me chuckle a lot since it's very accurate regarding the problems with the meeting tools we have now! It's encouraging to see a request for something that genuinely resolves these issues. Well done for pointing out the areas that want work!
Well done for using comedy to draw attention to the flaws of the current meeting tools! It's past time we have a solution that really dealt with these problems. I'm wishing you luck as you work to find a better answer!
This perspective on the problems with the meeting tools of today is so humorous and relatable. In what way do you see the perfect tool breaking through these context silos and improving the user experience?
Yes Congratulation for taking on the problems with the present meeting tools in such a lighthearted manner! Better tools that dismantle context silos seem like just what we require. I wish you luck as you launch your initiative to increase output!
Does this tool integrate with other productivity apps? I’m curious about how it connects with the tools we already use.
Many congratulations @abhishek_kankani and team! You got us all with that name for sure. Bookmarked and will give it a spin.
That's What You Said! caught my attention because it tackles the frustration many of us experience with today's meeting tools. Looking forward to testing it, congrats on the launch!
Honestly, I love this because the content of the landing page has lots of potential to create some kind of virality.
I don't know how much it helps people understand what the video calling app does (and honestly that's a very generic name for ppl to remember/search/SEO later). I realized that I had to click on the logo to learn more about the app, I think you need more "learn more" CTAs rather than "join the waitlist" because people have yet to learn what the product does. Just a thought!
BUT, big props for whoever came up this idea! I think a lot of ppl agree that the video calling apps need some help - I'm surprised how many AI tools are out there but very few first party tools that help streamline things.
Congrats on the launch @abhishek_kankani and team!
Firstly, I'm giggling and kicking my feet just thinking about how cute the product's name is. I'm not the only one who see The Office reference, right? Secondly, what a great idea! Congrats on your launch!
