I started using Bloks the day it appeared on Product Hunt. I've recently become an independent product consultant and was intrigued by the idea of a calendar-centric and person-focused tool to help me manage clients, prospects, and networking meetings. Bloks does the heavy lifting of preparing me for meetings by gathering insights on the people I'm meeting with, their relationships to me or each other, and the threads of content from various meetings. It then takes notes on meetings, without having to be an AI bot joining, and works across Teams / Zoom / Google meet etc. Those notes can be turned into action items, such as generating a LinkedIn post.
I very much like the human-as-object approach and the calendar-driven thinking. Years ago at IBM we endeavored to get away from using the inbox as the driver of work, and now Bloks has finally delivered on a better approach.
There is still work to be done - I feel like it needs training on going deeper to find out about the people you are meeting with, as (for example) the first brief it did about me did not even comment on the 24 years I spent at IBM. But as the AI model matures and Bloks matures on how to categorize content, I expect this to be an indispensable part of managing my business.
