We launched Ting a few weeks ago and I ve had a lot of people ask how we got noticed + grew the waitlist.
I wanted to share some of that here, but also zoom out into how we re thinking about building and growing at the same time - so I wrote a longer piece about it.
As a new product in closed beta, we did surprisingly well in our debut on Product Hunt. I ve already written about our full launch-day tactics (see previous forum post), but some founders reached out asking:
What specifically worked for Product Hunt?
Here are the 5 biggest things I will repeat as we plan a future open beta launch. I hope it helps you too!
One of the most important types of meetings? A job interview.
We re building an AI scheduling assistant that actually works (our north star from day one: holy $hit, this works ). We have active users, strong demand, and big growth ahead - and now we need an engineer to help us scale.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Product Hunt community. Every comment, upvote, and bit of support truly (like, really, really) meant the world to us.
We re now heads down, welcoming our first users into Ting. If you re still interested in early access, lookout for the 'fast pass' in the last image on our product page - come join us. We'd love your feedback.
Ting is a free AI assistant that books meetings in email the way they really happen - human, messy. Just CC Ting - it reads the thread, checks calendars, suggests times, and sends the invite. Like Calendly, with an LLM.
