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!

Unproductive meetings are one of the biggest time-sinks and productivity killers. Great to see Aimful on a mission to fix this!

You get the point @danhejl 👍 bad meetings causes a lot of frustration. Like 2/3 of people are complaining about that during our interviews. Aimful is the cure 💪

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

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.

Amazing product! I've been using it for a while now as a beta user and can certainly vouch for the idea as well the execution to a good extent. What I would love to see the team succeed at is accounting for cultural and hierarchical nuances of who and how to ask the questions to, and getting more people in the teams to adopt this so that it is equally useful for all. Good luck team Aimful!
