Navigator (beta) - The Teamwork assistant — run great meetings without busywork

Hi my name is Gentry — I’m part of the team who built Mailbox a few years back. We’re based in San Francisco and recently invented a teamwork assistant called Navigator that helps people run meetings that are meaningful and effective. For many, meetings are painful, expensive wastes of time. And yet they’re the highest-bandwidth form of communication that exists. Meetings can be exceedingly powerful when they’re well-run. Running great meetings takes a lot of work, though — work that many busy leaders just don’t have time for. Navigator takes on the busywork and does it in proven-effective ways. Navigator reaches out to attendees before a meeting (over Slack and email), collects meeting topics and organizes them into clear, goal-driven agendas. It can suggest topics to help managers lead useful 1-on-1s. It keeps track of meeting notes and action items. It even checks in with people after meetings to see how it's going with whatever they agreed to do. It's early days, but we’ve been running Navigator quietly in 50 teams for the last year or so and are really encouraged by the transformations that our early testers are reporting. So starting today, we’d like to invite anyone who is interested to try Navigator with their meetings for free (we hope to add paid plans later this year). We’re really excited to introduce Navigator to the world and to help it learn from all of you. Please let us, and Navigator, know what you think — thanks! P.S. And if you want to learn more about what we’re up to and why, the full backstory is here. ☺️✨

Looking forward to trying this with the Product Hunt team. Meetings can be one of the most productive or wasteful activities inside a company.

Authentic, intuitive and .. a breath of fresh air. I'm inspired by you Navigator

Amazing work! I’m an active user.

If this isn't the top item on PH for the week, something in the algo is busted 😅

I just on-boarded onto Navigator and connected my Google account to gain a better understanding of the product. I started with recurring 1:1 meetings. I found the process to be both intuitive and fluid. The copy and tone was fun and inviting, and made the transactions very seem-less. I'm excited to see how my meetings change and improve over time with the prompts that Navigator is suggesting!

Love this little bot!

I don't currently have a need for this product but the website is killer!

The onboarding was seemless, and fun. I ended up going through the onboarding and adding navigator to one of my recurring meetings. The prompts and suggested models were intuitive and delightful!

Pros:

Fun and Intuitive, I found the onboarding process to be quite intelligent and inviting.

Cons:

I expected the mailbox team to blow me away with some "scarcity" for the sign ups, or a coin drop into the applications can.

What a beautiful looking bot! You should put it on BotList 2.0
