I heard about this product through a friend of mine, and thought Iโ€™d give it a try. Now, Shepard probably has to be my most used and useful Extension. It really does simplify a lot of my daily admin and makes working far less stressful. Definitely recommend it

Ana Vizcarrondo
@cecilie_bino thank you for the message! We are so happy to hear it's helping your team!
Harald Lรธnsethagen
Hahaha @cecilie_bino! That's such nice words! It's been great having your feedback, which have helped us form the product into something better :D
Brett Pringle
My team and I have been using Shepherd for the last few months, it has revolutionised the way we share and take notes - saving us a lot of time and effort which can now be spent on other tasks. We track and manage the majority of our tasks in Airtable, what are your thoughts on integrating Airtable with Shepherd. Thanks again - keep up the great work!
Thomas Filmer
Hi @brett_pringle, its been great having you and your team onboard with us - I am glad we have helped you improve your meeting experience. Airtable is on the roadmap as an integration for sure. In the mean time, dont forget you can also use Shepherd to create and track tasks straight from the sidebar.
Harald Lรธnsethagen
@brett_pringle These words mean a lot Brett! Thanks! :D
Greg Bock
Installed the product to have a look at a few productivity tools. Have not used it a lot, but positive experience so far. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a tool to help you with your meetings.
Ana Vizcarrondo
@greg_bock thank you for trying it out! Let us know of any feedback or improvements you would like to see in Shepherd :)
Stefani Kovachevska
Congrats on your launch and video, very well explained! @jamie_gotz We've been using plain G notes for our meeting minutes, but this seems a lot more powerful. I'm willing to give it a try. Any way I can check the integrations list? We're using Shortcut for PM, that would be helpful.
Jamie Gotz
@stefani_kovachevska Thank you for the kind words! I think Shepherd will be really useful for project management. We're hoping to have a Shortcut integration live very soon - as soon as we do, you'll be the first to know ๐Ÿ˜‰
Megan Filmer
Congrats on the launch! ๐Ÿ‘ Do you plan on integrating with other video conferencing tools soon?
