How many calls do you do per day?
by•
As founders, calls are part of our daily life. Brainstorming, quick updates, random discussions with the team… and there’s always value in those moments. But most of the time, all that value just disappears after the call.
By connecting Prodshort to your calendar, it automatically joins your calls and turns them into ready-to-post content.
If you're a founder and want to create content, I'm doing short discussion calls. Let's connect !!

Having calls between co-founders is essential part of creation process.
Very often we can't understand each other well by sharing prototypes, leaving comments and texting.
So, we do at least 2 calls a day with a doc open to capture every key decision and those off-script moments that change game's rules.

@adana_marukhyan Totally agree !! what are you currently building?
@amraniyasser PM tool for creatives.
Something that help to avoid of noise, fragmentation and cognitive load through creative processes.

@adana_marukhyan That sounds interesting, especially for creative teams. What stage is your product at right now?
@adana_marukhyan What kind of decisions usually come out of those calls?
@isaac_dominic1 It's generally strategic decisions about product architecture and tech tool choices.
The best part of it all is that when i'm focused on my area and my co-founder on theirs, we sometimes zoom in too much and forget the bigger picture. So during calls we get a chance to look at each other's areas, rethink things and often adjust what we're doing that day.
@adana_marukhyan Clear communication like this saves a lot of confusion later
@gabriel_flores3 Totally agree with you.
@adana_marukhyan This feels like a strong way to stay aligned as co founders
@savannah_ross1 Our practice shows that it is probably the best
@adana_marukhyan How do you avoid repeating the same discussions?
@sarah_butler1 To be honest, it’s almost impossible.
We simply believe that if something keeps coming up in discussions, it probably means it’s not fully solved yet.

On Mondays, usually 3, but then there are days without calls. (and I like those days more) :D

@busmark_w_nika I know you're not the biggest fan of video calls, Mondays must feel intense for you 😂

@amraniyasser I am allergic to any form of calls or external disturbings :D

I try to handle everything through text messages, but phone calls are still an essential part of the process. Probably between 0 and 5 calls a day (I don’t count calls shorter than 5 minutes as actual calls).

@maria_anosova Short calls don’t really feel like “real” calls, but even those quick ones sometimes have useful moments inside !!

@amraniyasser That's true

This hits home! 📞 As a solo founder, my calendar is often a mess of quick syncs and brainstorming sessions. The worst part is definitely that 'brain drain' right after a call—you know you said something smart, but it's gone forever! 😂
Turning those raw moments into ready-to-post content is a huge time-saver.
Content creation is usually the first thing that gets dropped when the dev work piles up, so automating that bridge is brilliant.
How does the AI handle different accents or technical jargon during these calls? Would love to see how it keeps the founder's original 'voice' intact!
ProdShort
@orhan_kilic Prodshort records the calls, the voice stays fully authentic. We don’t regenerate the voice. The AI simply selects the best moments from the real conversation and turns them automatically into ready-to-post content.
Honestly, way too many 😅
And the real cost is never just the call itself. Microsoft’s 2025 work data showed people getting interrupted by meetings, chats, or emails every 2 minutes during core hours, which explains why one scattered call can wreck a whole afternoon.
So yeah, tools like this make a lot of sense — if the call is already happening, at least squeeze more value out of it afterward.

@alpertayfurr That’s exactly why connecting Prodshort to your calendar helps :D every call gets recorded automatically, so you don’t lose those good moments anymore.
Most founders land somewhere around 3–10 calls a day, but the real problem isn't volume it’s losing the insights after the call. ProdShort is interesting because it’s basically trying to turn that forgotten context into reusable content automatically.
ProdShort
@hassan_ismail_rebe Yeah exactly. The issue isn’t the number of calls, it’s all the good stuff that gets lost after. When it’s connected to your calendar and recorded automatically, you know you won’t miss those random great moments! Have you tried it before?
