Hey PH community 👋 I’m Dan Co-founder & Product Owner of Aimful. We are excited with the whole team (shoutout to @veronika_gabrielova @honzakral @jiri_janousek) to announce launch of Aimful.io for Google Calendar ❓Why are we building Aimful Calendar apps haven't evolved for decades. Especially the meeting invites. All recent innovations are about keyboard shortcuts + smart scheduling + time zone support. 🤔 However, nobody seems to ask: — what should be the results of the meeting? — is it necessary for you specifically to attend? — what is the expected contribution from you? — is meeting the best format to reach what is needed? Why doesn’t your calendar autonomously ask the host to answer these questions, if the meeting invite is poorly prepared? Instead of building a new calendar (which we would love to do!), we decided to start with augmenting an existing one. 4️⃣ Versions later… We have already killed 4 previous versions. They were invaluable, they taught us about the hidden workings of meetings that are rarely talked about. Each time we took the lessons learned and produced a new version. 🙏 We're hungry for honest feedback Help us shape the product. Help us design the product around you. Special thanks to @kevin for hunting us!

Hey team, congrats on the launch! 🥳 Can we use Aimful to run better meetings with our customers and prospects or is it just for an internal company communication? As an asynchronous and almost no-meetings company we do our meetings well (I believe), but when it comes to working with our customers who do not have the same mindset and often come unprepared, they don't read the prepared notes and then we spend most of the time reading it out loud. 🥲 Can Aimful help us with this?

Hey @sotak 👋, thank you! Aimful is for all the meetings in your calendar, even when you're invited by your customer or prospect. We are using set of one-click actions that makes the meeting really valuable for all the attendees. e.g. You can politely ask the meeting host what contribution they need from you so you can come prepared for the meeting.

@sotak We send a notification to external invitees as well so they can view all the actions and use the web-based UI to perform all the actions, like see what is required (though that part is also copied into the meeting description) and confirm that they have gone through the preparation - that way you know, even before the meeting starts, if they have done it.

This is one of those things you see and are just like... wow, how did we make it to 2022 and not have this already? So much of a knowledge worker's waking life is spent in meetings and it makes a lot of sense to do whatever we can to ensure they're the best use of everyone's time. Great to see Aimful solving this problem.

Thanks @winston_christie_blick, we were thinking the same things when we first approached the problem. It is a difficult one, dealing with people, but we feel we are getting closer to the solution

Wow, i really like this concept! Do all my meeting attendees need to add the Aimful chrome extension to be able to see the details though? And also, is there any way to "force" people to use Aimful when im on the host?

@britt_joiner Aimful is applied to all the meetings you are hosting as Aimful user and all the data are written also into invitation description so everybody see them - no need to install it to everybody. There are several actions which you can trigger as Aimful user to "force" others to do something but they can do so again without Aimful installed. We are using Slack app (inside the organisation) and polite e-mail notifications with one-click action for responding.

Been with Aimful from the beginning. We actually had a lot of meetings with people that were not supposed to be there, with uncertain agendas that basically just extended their length. Aimful helped the key stakeholders plan better, invite the right people, reduce the number of meetings and save a lot by cutting the time of each meeting to what's necessary. I'd say that we have probably 30-40% fewer meetings now and not missing any.

Love it. Such a good concept, especially for bigger organisations with siloed teams or spread geographically.
