That's What You Said! — Zoom-ing into Teams' Meet-ing issues 😅
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!

@abhishek_kankani Hats off to the team! Wishing you a bright and successful journey ahead. What has been the biggest surprise during development?
@kjosephabraham thanks for the wishes! We were shocked by how much people out there are frustrated with the “gold standard” tools!
@max_savonin1 those are some really good insights! As mentioned, we’re working on something along these lines and I’d love to explore any opportunities of partnering together 😄
@abhishek_kankani This sounds so fun! I couldn't stop laughing when I read the tweet about updating your Zoom before joining the meeting.
@sachinjain024 Ikr! That's one of the most frustrating moments - Zoom deciding to update right before an important meeting 🤭
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!
@abhishek_kankani @tonyhanded thank you for the nice words. It means a lot when you are building up something from scratch. I agree with your feedback that they don't have enough context to convert and we will surely take this up and update the page.
Thanks for checking us out and sharing your honest comments.
Many congratulations @abhishek_kankani and team! You got us all with that name for sure. Bookmarked and will give it a spin.
@arpanramtek Hey, thanks for the support. Glad you liked the name, looking forward to see your take :)
BTW, entering my email and trying to submit doesn't work. I get the error "Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form."
@prasad_lingawar1 Works now, thanks! A button loading state would be great too - cos right now, you get no visible reaction on submit (till it's eventually done)
Thanks for the fix!
@chape We are so glad! that's exactly what our goal was :)
PS: your comment just bought a flood of smiles within our team :')
You comment made our day too @pavel_bocharov :')
This was one of our out-of-the-box ideas, and we are glad to know it made you smile :)
@bonvisions yup! We’re currently in closed beta with it and if you’d like to join in, please sign up on the waitlist here - https://videocalling.app 😄
@bonvisions Hey Bon, yes, that's the goal.
We want to be to Zoom, what Linear is to Jira 😉
Oh wow, @abhishek_kankani! This is such a relatable take on meeting tools—totally feel you on the UI/UX struggles and the silos. Love how you created that Notion Page to gather everyone's rants; that's super clever! Can't wait to check out your AI-native video calling app; it sounds like a game changer for virtual meetings. Also, props for addressing the real issues we face daily. Let's make meetings fun again!
@blankwebdev - Hey, super glad you liked it. This was one of the fastest way for us to validate our hypothesis.
PS: more than fun, our goal is to make meeting more functional and intuitive. Hope you'll like it. Cheers :)
@sooddvs Haha, we have some interesting choices. Inside scoop, we've finished this name 10 hours before the launch XD
Man, this is hilarious. I can relate to all these people. Personally, I am not a big fan of Zoom, at least not for users who are not so frequent. Whenever you open it, it starts updating. Also, it is not great for the people who join meetings half a meeting before.
@prasad_lingawar3 exactly, we've captured some hilarious rants along these lines XD
@virajpatel Thanks for supporting the launch Viraj. To clarify we aren't reading messages, however with the Video Calling App we use our native AI to handle different accents - and we are continuously optimising it for accents and languages, and the noise cancellation is built into the meetings. 'That's what you said' is the 'Why?' behind the Video Calling App that we are building.
We'd be happy to have you as a beta users so you can try it out yourself :)
Hey @abhishek_kankani
This product name is funny and catchy. The description is clear. It says the product is a book or article about how bad meeting tools are now. It promises to make you laugh, cry, and agree while showing why you need a better tool.
@jpgohil93 haha, thanks. It took us a bunch of iterations to agree on the name. We legit decided on 'That's what you said' 11 hours before the launch.
Glad you liked it, and thanks again for supporting the launch :)
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
Thanks @jane0621, for starters - Zero surprise updates when you're in a rush. Plus, you get the relevant context be it in terms of meeting recaps, pre-meeting reminders/prep, post meeting summaries, updating action items, etc. Also, it has a way smoother UI/UX compared to the traditional tools, the kind you'd expect in 2024!
Would be happy to give you a walkthrough :)
