Hey PH community 👋 I’m Dan Co-founder & Product Owner of Aimful. We are excited with the whole team (shoutout to @veronika_gabrielova @honzakral @jiri_janousek) to announce launch of Aimful.io for Google Calendar ❓Why are we building Aimful Calendar apps haven't evolved for decades. Especially the meeting invites. All recent innovations are about keyboard shortcuts + smart scheduling + time zone support. 🤔 However, nobody seems to ask: — what should be the results of the meeting? — is it necessary for you specifically to attend? — what is the expected contribution from you? — is meeting the best format to reach what is needed? Why doesn’t your calendar autonomously ask the host to answer these questions, if the meeting invite is poorly prepared? Instead of building a new calendar (which we would love to do!), we decided to start with augmenting an existing one. 4️⃣ Versions later… We have already killed 4 previous versions. They were invaluable, they taught us about the hidden workings of meetings that are rarely talked about. Each time we took the lessons learned and produced a new version. 🙏 We're hungry for honest feedback Help us shape the product. Help us design the product around you. Special thanks to @kevin for hunting us!

Great team and a great product! The team clearly did their research and is solving my pain. Calendar has always been a pain and by automatizing it directly withing my Google Calendar my life is much simpler as a manager. Can't wait to see more features for customization built where even less of the busy work is automated. Stay awesome 😎

I have been using Aimful for several months already. I take full advantage of the mental model it imposes in me while creating a meeting. It does this by not making it hard for me schedule the meeting but by asking key questions during the scheduling process. The result is thought-out meeting invites. Although, often times, it may also help you realize that the meeting is not really needed. By thinking about what each participant could bring, I'm also sure I'm inviting the right people. Other stay as optional or I just don't invite them at all. It's significantly more powerful if the entire team/company uses it. I would definitely recommend this as it'll provide a common interface and language for everyone.

Unproductive meetings are one of the biggest time-sinks and productivity killers. Great to see Aimful on a mission to fix this!

You get the point @danhejl 👍 bad meetings causes a lot of frustration. Like 2/3 of people are complaining about that during our interviews. Aimful is the cure 💪

Love it. Such a good concept, especially for bigger organisations with siloed teams or spread geographically.
