Boostopia has been using Hugo for a good while now for our go to market teams. Success and Sales, here for a while. Our Success teams use it live in meetings with our clients and everyone loves it. Highly recommended!
@jcwinter this is a great point thanks for sharing - Hugo unleashes the power of GTM teams b/c not only do they run better meetings, they push insights from those meetings to the rest of the company. Product can't do product unless they know what their customers are thinking and saying!
I've been using Hugo for about a week and with some minor tweaks, it works perfect in the flow of work. I have not really explored the collaboration part, but this could eventually replace Evernote for me.
@anthonyonesto Good to hear! Thanks Anthony. Let us know what you think about collaboration features too. Thanks for the support.

This product appears to automate a process that I have never seen anyone get right at any company. Meeting notes always get lost!
Thank you for making this!
Huge fan of Hugo and the team behind it! It's amazing to have an app do a lot of the monotonous work (that is a byproduct of most meetings) for you - auto-categorization, super slick integrations, templates for best practices, and potentially my favorite thing... collaborative agendas! If you aren't using Hugo yet I can't recommend it enough - it's one of the few apps out there that will actually make your meetings feel like LESS work.
Hey ProductHunt,
Firstly, thanks @hnshah for hunting us!
The inspiration for Hugo struck while building another app. Like so many teams, we were massively distributed. Our team was partly remote, and my co-founder and I were out of the office all the time.
I took pride in how much we talked to customers in person. But, when we’d return the debrief/team sync would break because we weren't in the same room or even on the same timezone.
We wanted to move faster, and we wanted to build a transparent team, but we were utterly failing to connect meeting insights to the rest of the company.
Hugo innovates on meeting notes - organizing everything based on our calendar and connecting our work apps.
Now we're prompted to set agendas and write notes when it makes sense, and then everything can be shared with the team in Slack.
Suddenly, we’d return from our day's journey, and the team was in sync and already full of ideas. We were on to something. Plus, by linking meeting notes to the calendar, we didn’t have to organize anything anymore — my biggest headache!
That’s when @darren_chait asked me, “What else do you reckon we can connect our meeting notes to?”
Engineering work gets done in Jira, marketing in Asana, sales in a CRM and the list goes on. So, Slack and calendars were the first two integrations. Today Hugo connects with 20+ tools.
That became our mission — to connect the way we meet, to the way we work.

My life is centred around my schedule -- https://whereishasan.herokuapp.c... -- as those that deal with me have invariably realized and it boggles the mind that my mates don't centre their lives around the same. It pleases me to no end that @joshlowy and co feel the same way as I.
If you two need any help with development, please reach out.
Hugo is a very solid product! I've suggested Hugo to a few agencies that I consult with to help them make sense of their seemingly endless meetings, and they haven't looked back. Well done @joshlowy and @darren_chait - keep up the great work!
@matteogrand Thanks for being such a great advocate for Hugo! We're excited to launch some new features soon to make meeting life in an agency even better too! Watch this space 🙊
@mikedane7 important question, thanks!
We've built everything about Hugo with security and privacy in mind. We host your data on AWS on servers in a Virtual Private Cloud. We encrypt all your data in transit and at rest, with backups and failover and data recovery processes. As part of our marketplace partnerships with the likes of Slack, Zoom and Salesforce we are also required to undergo regular security and penetrating testing too. Then, there's our permissions model in the app to make sure that your meeting agendas and notes are only available to the right people!
You can read more about Hugo's security here: https://www.hugo.team/security. Rest assured, your meeting data is in good hands!
Well put together. The team is very committed to its mission and very keen to engage with the user to get there.
This clearly shows in the user workflows and the obvious amounts of time spent on user experience and interface designing.
It’s easy and efficient. Something not easily found on this particular space of minutes and meeting management.
It’s actually quite a meaningful addition to your working tool set.
Guys, the images on your website can be described with one word - art. They are stunningly good!
@stanislav_dim thanks! It's an important part of our brand, so we've worked with some pretty amazing illustrators to help us tell the story! Thanks for the support 🙌
@stanislav_dim @darren_chait Can I ask what firm you worked with to build the website? Looking to hire one myself and could use a good rec! This product looks awesome btw, excited to try it out.
@stanislav_dim @carly_martinetti We built it internally using Webflow! Thanks - let us know how you go getting started with Hugo.
These guys have nailed two big problems - organizing notes for important meetings, context continuity, all without having to rotate through apps. Would be dope to have on iOS or mobile in general... Any plans for it? 👌🏼
@michaeldunwort1 trust me when I say THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME we have had a request to support mobile! Good news to share - native apps for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS is already in development and we plan to release those soon. Android won't be far behind either 📱 👨💻
We have been using this for the past 2 months and it has helped us achieve much more efficiency in our meetings. It also makes it easier for us to find notes from past meetings. Great Product!
@darren_gallop thanks! Meeting efficiency and organizing meeting agendas & notes based on your calendar data is what we’re all about. Thanks for the support! 🤙
Been using this app for nearly 24 hours. Have it synced to my google calendar and slack. Loving it so far and the founders have been super helpful in the support channels :)
Love how the Hugo product drives us to embed great meeting practices that help us hold the most impact in our internal and external meetings. Well done on the progress so far @darren_chait @joshlowy
@dave_hannes great point re meeting best practices, our growing library of free templates keep the trains on their tracks no matter what the meeting is - prospect calls, customer reviews, team meetings or 1:1's. These templates are great for setting agendas ahead of time too 📝
Love Hugo! It's been a total gamechanger for me in staying organized with all of my customer facing meetings and never wondering where I saved that copy of meeting notes. Easy sharing and collaboration internally and externally. Definitely recommend.
@p_happythinker just use in-product chat if you need a hand with anything or are looking for best practices! Left Nav > Resources > Live Chat 👍
Linking meeting notes to a calendar is game changing. Hugo has been an amazing way to align teams around meetings!
@laurence_schwartz that's why we built Hugo like we did, with your calendar at its core. Thanks for the support!
Hugo has identified a really interesting problem, and taken a novel approach to solve it. Great stuff here. (Plus, they have one of the best onboarding email flows I've ever seen.)
@brendan_fortune1 ha thanks! We know that a lot of products end up with on-boarding emails that get in the way, I'm glad you found the opposite with ours 🙌
@brendan_fortune1 It helps when we have the best product for customer communications powering us :)
