Shepherd is a Chrome extension that plugs directly into the Google Calendar and Google Meet for teams to take collaborative notes, set custom agendas and assign action items, as well as connect with other productivity apps. Everything in one place!
Hey Jamie
Looks good. Getting people to write and circulate minutes is a worthy goal.
I founded a startup targeting this same use case in 2011. "Pailz - every meeting action done". We made the mistake of trying to build both the minutes writing interface (MinuteNow) and the task management tool (Pailz). Once trello and asana hit the scene shortly after we started, we could see we were clearly outgunned.
I wrote a bunch of SEO friendly content called "The Meeting Minutes" - https://web.archive.org/web/2012... - I'd be happy for you to repurpose any of the content, if you find useful for your own marketing efforts.
Cheers

@tobyberesford Hey Toby - thanks so much for your support! It's really interesting to hear your journey in trying to solve for unproductive meetings - I'm sure there are several things we could learn from this. Thank you for the offer to repurpose some of the content, we'd love to look into this 🙏 All the best!
I've been using Shepherd as an early tester for some time already and it's dramatically improved my meeting workflow. I love how simple this makes taking high quality notes in meetings, especially when sharing with teammates or logging key information when assessing dealflow.
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.
@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 😉
I am using Shepherd already and can’t believe it’s free 😄 so useful to have all my notes in one place. And love that I can see all my past notes for recurring meetings too.
Congrats on the PH launch @jamie_gotz and team!
@jonokingwill Thanks so much for those words - means the world to us! We're optimizing for simplicity over building something too complex to use, so I'm really glad you're finding it useful!
Absolutely love Shepherd, and the team behind it. You guys follow-up and care so much about the user journey. Thanks for taking the time to consider all my feedback and suggestions always. Onward and upward!
@lavanya_indralingam Thank you for your support! We love the feedback and feature suggestions coming in, so please keep 'em coming 😁 We're getting ready to release some awesome new features too, so exciting things in the pipeline!
So much love @lavanya_indralingam . Your feedback and support has definitely been important for our journey! You always have a shot of energy to put into the team ;) :D
Thank you @jamesroypoulter - Yes, the Zoom integration is in the pipeline and should be available soon, keep an eye out for the update ;) Let us know what you think once you have taken Shepherd for a spin!
