Hey, Product Hunt crew! 👋 Everything we do at beams, is to help tech teams thrive. Today, we're stoked to share a tool we've cooked up to make your meetings matter more. We are building beams together with and for product and tech teams of all sizes. One of the challenges they all share is having too many meetings. And let's be real—unnecessary meetings can suck the joy out of your day faster than you can say "agenda item." You know that whole "this could have been an email" joke? Yeah, it hits different when it's your reality. But guess what? There's light at the end of the tunnel! From Shopify binning boring meetings to Elon Musk preaching the gospel of walking out on pointless chats, change is in the air. Enter our hero: "Meetings That Require Your Attention." Just sync up your Google Calendar, and boom! Find out which meetings seem to be non-value adding and how to turn 'em into something worthwhile. We're all ears for your thoughts! Let us know how we can improve this tool for you. So that we can all take back our calendars, one meeting at a time 🚀

I have been using Beams for the past ~2 years, and I can't imagine working without it anymore! I love the focus feature, which allows me to increase my productivity, as well as how easy it is to organize and join meetings. Definitely try it out if you are ppl like me who has >20 hours of meetings every week!

Hiii Jana and Mihri! Congrats on your latest launch! This is so interesting! I'm wondering, how does it know what an ineffective meeting looks like? Also how does it calculate a costly meeting vs a non-costly meeting. Is it time based? thanks p.s. love the beams team!

It all saves time, helps your focus to your core, and the syncs work smoothly. 👌🏻

This will save a lot of time for remotely working teams

Excellent initiative for teams to focus on what actually matters!

Congrats on the launch! The idea of analyzing Google Calendar to identify non-value-adding meetings and offering suggestions for improvement is super useful. What specific criteria does Meeting Muse use to determine which meetings aren't contributing value, and can it suggest practical steps to make them more efficient?

Congratulations on the launch! 🔥🔥🔥 Beam looks like a great tool for teams to start valuing their time more! The problems you discuss in the video — such as not having an agenda for meetings or inviting too many people when only a couple of them need to discuss the issue — are things we all struggle with from time to time. The ability to have an objective analysis of it all with the counted cost of time can really make teams' relationships with meetings healthier. Great job!

This feature is soo valuable! Thanks for building this @jana_schellong and Beams team!

Hehe loved the concept of 'ineffective meetings'. And it's so true. We spend a lot of hours on unnecessary meetings that could be addressed by a simple email or chat. Happy to see you helping on that Jana! All the best here!

I've been using beams for months now. Love it! excited to try this new feature.

Hey, Jana! Congrats on your launch! In my team, we have to conduct a large number of review meetings every day, with different people chairing each session. I'm looking for a way to track the usage time and overtime for each chairperson, as well as monitor participant engagement and gain insights during these meetings. Do you offer any features that can help with this?

Congratulations on the launch, beams team! 🎉 Meeting Muse sounds like a game-changer for optimizing team productivity and making meetings more meaningful. As a founder myself, I know the struggle of juggling countless meetings and the importance of making each one count. I'm curious, how does Meeting Muse analyze meeting effectiveness? Are there specific metrics or indicators it looks for to provide optimization suggestions? Wishing you all the best on your product journey! 🚀

I love this! Good that it flags out when there is no agenda etc., because unless the manager / leader does that, typically people just go along with the meetings most of the time. $$ saved notification is cool as well. Congrats and good luck!

Congratulations Jana, I appreciate the effort you have put in creating Beams. In my opinion, you should allow the visitor to scan the product first. You can show the sign in form once the user has scrolled a certain height. That will be a better experience. I might be wrong but that is just an opinion.

That's great. Meetings can be a big time sink and this can help to get rid of unnecessary ones!! I like these actionable insights.

Oooh save me more time, please! This is a really cool product, I can't wait to dig into it even more! Excellent work, team! 👏👏👏
