Before I started Ting, I did the classic founder things... Read every Paul Graham essay. Listened to Masters of Scale. Obsessed over founder stories. There’s always that moment in those stories. The magical customer call. The gold-dust that changes everything. The door-knocking moment (Airbnb). It is romantic. But, but. but. In reality? It’s really, really hard. People are busy. Most outreach...

Self-centred update today, but adding the top Product Hunt badge to our site felt real good. See bottom right of image, also online here: meet-ting.com Thanks again, gives us pride and satisfaction. Dan, Ting + Team

This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina. A few days ago I saw this: A year ago, I would have instantly retweeted, liked, bookmarked, and moved on. Oh, and maybe sent to my boss (by accident). Now - as a slightly more evolved marketer these days - I paused. Because while I agree marketing is becoming more important than ever… product...

Hey all, In our recent Ting v2 launch, we talked about giving your calendar your brain so it can make decisions for you. That means moving from reactive → proactive → full automation. We’ve experimented with full automation, but it turns out it needs a lot of context to get right - and when it gets it wrong, the consequences can be pretty painful... when calendars, meetings, and other people...

Hopefully this isn’t your second Ting notification overload in a couple of days 😅 We got top three launch for the day yesterday! We're so delighted and grateful. Thank you for upvotes, comments, good vibes and giving us the energy to keep pushing. We said we’d give Product Hunt something extra, but we didn't want to spam yesterday. We put together a full teardown of how Ting actually works -...

Dear PH community, Next week marks six months of Ting - and it would feel wrong not to do something special here, where it all started. Product Hunt has a permanent place in Ting lore, so we’re bringing something back next Thursday, just for this community... Since our launch, AI scheduling has really taken off. YC-backed Vela shipped a few weeks ago, Sequoia backed BlockIt yesterday, and...

One of the coolest parts of my job is getting a front-row seat to how @marianaprazeres thinks about AI. “Memory” feels table stakes in AI right now. But for @Meet-Ting, it’s not just a log of the past - it’s a living system that shapes how people schedule, work, and want to spend their week. It’s not just logistics - it’s patterns around energy, priorities, and relationships over time. Here are...

Hey all, 15 years ago I wrote an article about the rise of a more social web for Huff Post. At the time, Facebook was updating its News Feed and bringing Spotify, Zynga etc. into it. Google was also launching Google+. Obviously, one changed the internet. The other validated it, even if it didn't pay off. If you think about that shift, we stopped going to the internet to browse our top 10 sites...

Dear Product Hunt community, If you’re reading this and you’ve launched something - or you're close to launching - you are already incredibly special. We talk a lot about unicorns, but we don't talk enough about the big filtering process or idea funnel. Most people never even start. With some help from Gemini, the funnel looks like this: Idea Phase: Out of 1,000 people with a "genius" idea,...

There’s a lot you end up thinking about as a startup founder. Success, doom... and the question that connects those dots: How do we actually make money - in a way that lets this become a self-sustaining business? If you’re building in AI, that question is... not easy. I've been thinking about this topic a lot for Ting. I've seen pricing through a lot of angles in my career. At adidas (perceived...
