Current - Share work-in-progress & get weekly AI powered summaries

Hey folks! I'm Scott, one of the cofounders of Current 👋 Since January 2022, we've been in a private beta, developing Current to help product-led teams increase visibility and alignment on the work happening across their company. Our team consists of people from places like Coinbase, Meta, Shopify, InVision, Coursera, and more. Whether the companies were small, medium, or large, we each experienced the same issues: Duplicate efforts: ICs from Team A and Team B work on similar problems without realizing it, missing out on opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge. Lack of work visibility for leadership: Heads of department, VPs, and Execs don’t know where to find the latest work. To address this, middle management spend hours each week creating time-consuming reports by gathering links, images, and summaries from the team. Limited insight for other roles: Sales, Support, and other departments only see the product when it's about to be released. They totally miss out on opportunities to use any knowledge of how the product is currently evolving in their interactions with existing or potential customers. This year more than ever it’s important for teams to have extremely high output and not waste time with processes around the actual work. We believe the most high-performing teams have an open and collaborative culture where ideas are shared early and often— and we’ve built Current to facilitate this: One feed to view updates from dozens of tools: Share and view work from various tools like Figma, Loom, Notion, Miro, Mural, Google Drive, Github, Codepen, Codesandbox, Protopie, Rive, and Spline. Our integrations let you do things like post directly from Figma or Figjam using our plugin or automatically post to Current when pull requests in Github are merged. All posts are categorized into specific work-streams which can be followed to get a higher signal feed. No more getting lost in Figma files, trying to find links in Slack, or hunting through old emails. Slack Integration: Broadcast posts to various channels so cross-functional partners are looped in, set up reminders to facilitate rituals around sharing updates, and get notifications for important activity on Current. We plan on adding support for Teams and other chat tools soon. AI-powered weekly summaries: Current automatically generates weekly summaries from the posts that were shared throughout the week. No need to spend time crafting lengthy update emails—everyone is automatically notified when the new weekly summary is ready.

Our product will remain free until 2024, so we hope you try it out! 🙏 Special thanks for @chrismessina for hunt 🙌 We’ll be hanging out in the comments for any questions or feedback—would love to hear from you! 👇

I have been using Current for a while now, and I am consistently thrilled to see the incredible work being done by everyone in my team. The ability to gain visibility into the projects and tasks of my fellow colleagues has significantly boosted our team spirit, making collaboration a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. Feeling incredibly grateful to be a part of this team and to witness the journey of our product!

So proud of everyone on the team for building what Current is today! Over the past few months we’ve been exploring how to better include and enable the workflows of non-design roles. Adding CodeSandbox and CodePen integrations has enabled our engineering to easily share examples, tips and recipes. We’ve also added a GitHub integration which, to the joy of all PMs and engineers out there, posts automatically for you! There are so many things that we’re working on, and I can’t wait for us to show you the next thing that we’re cooking up! I’m incredibly grateful for being a part of this amazing team! 🫶 Hit me up if you have any questions, I’ll be around.

Wanted to also throw a big shoutout to @lea_schwegler who completely revamped our brand in under 2 weeks! 🙌. Our goal was to stand out from the popular aesthetic many startups are going for these days...how do you think we did? 😅

My team and I have been using Current for a few months and it’s been really useful. At first we were unsure but with the slack integrations and everyone contributing, the alignment and communication it brings across the team is great and will be hard to imagine not having it. We love going over the last week and months to review and retro on all the work. Keep up the great work!

We're starting to use this at Bueno and it's so cool! This is a great use of AI... AI is not the product, it's just there to make something we all need happen

Amazing tool that significantly improved visibility in our design team and across the whole organisation!

Congratulations team on a damn great product and all of the success so far!

Current is the tool I wish I had at my last job as a design manager — the AI integration (drops) feels genuinely useful rather than hyped/gimmicky and really makes it easy to work cross functionally.

On my to-do list for tomorrow, can't wait to give it a try!
