Connect Groupthink to your calendar to get instant agendas, effortless note-taking, and automatically generated action items from team meetings. Key stakeholder can’t attend? Groupthink shares summaries in the easy-to-navigate company meeting feed so everyone stays informed.
Hello, Product Hunt! We’re excited to share the full launch of Groupthink with you today. Like many of you, we were overwhelmed by the growing number of meetings on our calendar. It left us with less time for us and our teams to actually get work done. Groupthink was designed to give everyone back their time, drive greater accountability within a team, and keep stakeholders informed whether or not they attend a meeting.
I am not that good at hosting great meetings. I talk too much, get off topic, ask irrelevant questions, and fail to follow up. It's something I've spent the last year working on.
Groupthink seriously helps you host better meetings. It takes notes and adds new agenda items to your meeting in real time. And no more asking for notes or wondering what happened - Groupthink automatically shares summaries and action items after a meeting to everyone you invited, even if they couldn’t attend.
On top of that, you can stay connected to other workstreams easily with Groupthink’s meeting feed. With it, anyone in the organization can see discoverable meeting summaries and find next steps. Groupthink supports Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom, and connects to Google and Outlook calendars.
Existing tools focus on taking notes and generating summaries for the individual - content that is easily forgotten and rarely used to improve. Groupthink keeps you **and your team** accountable and informed by sharing meeting decisions and actions with all relevant stakeholders.
Groupthink is completely free for individuals and teams. We're excited to provide more and more value with intelligence from your meetings in the future.
If you think any of this would stop the meeting madness in your life, please help us by trying out Groupthink and giving us feedback. We’re focused right now on learning and making the best features out there. Thank you!

Congratulations on the release of Groupthink! 🚀Existing tools are ideal for meeting navigators!

A few questions:
- How does this compare to existing summary/action item features in tools like Otter.ai?
- Are the summaries generic or is there intelligence regarding meeting types: ideation, retro, backlog grooming, performance review, daily standup, etc.?
- Is the real differentiator the automated attendance/distribution among the teams via calendar? Does it manage the calendar invite directly to create/update the agenda there or must everyone look in GroupThink to see the changes?
- People don’t need yet another tool to manage for information exchange. Is there a set it and forget it function here such that it automagically attends the meeting and the summaries/notes are directed to existing distribution channels like email, Slack, Teams, etc.?
@greg_battle great list!
1. Mechanically, meeting notes are meeting notes - not going to sugar-coat it :-). That said, our initial users have praised the quality of our notes and the fact that they're created/displayed in real-time during the meeting, and our focus on sharing information with non-attendees is important.
2. Summaries are standardized for now. Big opportunity to refine based on meeting type, but so many people fail to take any notes or have an agenda at all, so we're focused on enabling the zero to one for now.
3. The calendar is a magical hub of collaboration :-) Groupthink does automatically manage the distribution of the agenda and notes so that the host (and attendees) don't have any extra work.
4. Totally agree! Everything you said is correct - the agenda is created automatically, notes are recorded automatically, and then shared with everyone across channels automatically, based on how Groupthink is configured. Our goal is to make the meeting host look great and help them keep the right people informed and accountable.
Have started using it in a few of my meetings and it's such a game changer -- congrats on the launch!

@poralejo I haven't hosted a meeting, but I was a part of another meeting and saw the dynamic agenda being built on screen. They have this feature that writes the agenda as a slide and shares it via the bot camera feed. Really cool idea, as the camera feed is just on for the bot, so it's easily visible. That was eye-catching to see. Are you using that feature?
Congrats on the launch. How does groupthink work with 1:1 meetings that you don’t want to appear in a company feed?
The level of accountability you want in meetings even at a moderately sized startup is likely not at the company level. It’s at a team level, usually indicated by everyone who was on the original attendees list.
@trevin This is a great question - Groupthink agendas & notes are shareable like your favorite collaborative document. You control whether the content is discoverable within your organization with a quick dropdown list, and we always default meeting with two people to be private.
I agree with you that accountability is often at the team level. We've found, however, that lots of teams work together - even in small companies - and miss decisions made that impact their work by other teams or "sub" teams. Making decisions discoverable and allowing individuals to follow the meeting that impact their day-to-day is something we're excited to keep exploring!

Congratulations on launching! I'm most excited about having an easier answer to, "Do you have notes from that meeting to share?"
Congratulations Team Groupthink on a successful launch on Producthunt! Your tool serves a real need in streamlining meeting management. For added value, it would be great if the tool can integrate a feature to automatically assign responsibilities and deadlines right from the meeting notes! This would further increase productivity and accountability within teams. Cheers!
@manmohit Great idea! We do currently automatically create and assign To Do items directly from the conversation, and you can give them a specific deadline if you wish. Check it out!
Meeting Minutes used to be my specialty believe it or not. I am a relatively fast typer and I am super smart with an I.Q. of like 114 which means I pretty much understand everything ever so it makes it real easy for me to take meeting notes that everyone can understand.
If you want me to replace your little A.I. tool as a meeting minutes taker I only charge $4.99 per second or 15 cronuts per hour.
