This is very cool. The summarization feature stands out as my favorite.

#12Great to see more competition in this space - I'm currently on Slack and not happy about it. Here's hoping Emdash can fill the void left by Workplace and get some momentum to put pressure on Slack. It's much needed

Yeah I heard that Slack is taking a breather this morning...

#13Good luck guys! This maybe that I've usually been a part of smaller teams but the screenshots you guys provided are a little... overload-y.
Care to share what's the average size of your early adopters? Because it seems to be something great for larger teams but, then again I imagine the friction is greater for them too.

Appreciate you reaching out about the summarization feature. Teams have been making use of it to save time. They like jumping directly to key moments of the meeting and also outright skipping meetings.

#15This looks great — can’t want to try it as we grow our team at Mobility. Are there integrations with other work surfaces like GDrive / Notion for deep search retrieval like “What are we working on this week”?

This is good feedback, thanks. We packed a lot into the product so far and could have spent more time focusing the media assets to distill things better.
Early adopters range in size from 2 people to ~20. As you said, the Catch-22 for larger teams usually have established tool stacks so the (operational) switching cost is prohibitive.
FWIW we are a team of 5 and already find the feature set useful (we're biased, of course). I expect that ~5 is the threshold the organizational and search features become invaluable.

#17I should introduce the rest of the crew. We're a team of builders who have worked together for the better part of the last decade. Neville and I were early engineers on Facebook Ads. Neville later founded Rimeto, which was acquired by Slack. Fred has held various roles driving growth and was an early employee at Facebook, Doordash, and Rimeto. Nick jumped into startups right out of college, joining Rimeto and now div…
great team!

This is in the works. We have a prototype integration with Github that supports the deep search use case you mentioned. My favorite anecdote from this was a few weeks ago I was revisiting some work on transactional support in our controller framework and asked assistant "A few months ago I was working on transaction support and had to revert my change. Can you remind me what happened?" and it spit back my original PR, the reversion, and a deep link into the standup video meeting where we discussed the issue. For me, that was the magic moment where I knew this could be something much more than just a chat client.

#19keep it up phil, neville and the team.

#20Really like the self-documentation of what the team is working on through the auto summarization and share-out of meeting. Strongly believe in "communication is the job" at tech companies, and with this it doesn't have to feel like a chore.
