------A bit of background------ The inspiration for Polka is my colleague Luigi. Apart from being a brilliant engineer, Luigi has a magical skill. He makes any meeting he attends better! He’s always the one to say “Oh, and what is the agenda for today?”, “Guys, it’s half-time, let’s move on”, “Let’s note the action items before we forget”, “Laura hasn’t spoken yet”. Everyone stays motivated, focused, prepared and happy with the outcomes. We wanted to bring Luigi’s peerless organizational instincts --his “functionalities”, as it were-- to teams and meetings across the world.

I've tried Polka on couple of my meetings and it's been a blast! Engagement is way easier using this tool and it brings actionable next steps once the meeting is over. I am just wondering how it works on mobile as I only used it on my Desktop?

@marcin_kazmierczak1 thank you, happy to hear you had a positive experience! We made sure Polka's content is readable even on small screens, so it will work just as well on mobile:)

That's a really neat idea, congratulations for the launch! Do you plan to add smart features such as having Polka listen in on the conversation and then prompting people to speak up who haven't said much yet? Or noticing when the conversation seems to be getting bogged down on the same topic? (Would require some sort of semantic speech analysis.)

@christian_schierenbeck thank you for this question. Yes, we are planning to features that work to that effect. We even have a beta version of the paid plan where we can record and transcribe your calls, identify action items, emotions and share of voice. If you are interested to give it a try, let me know!

Love how easy the whole process is. Takes only a moment to add to a meeting and then it just does it's job in the background.

@kama_jaskolska No reason to add extra work to your meeting 😉 Thanks for your support!

We used it on several team calls (as our team got larger 9+) the round robin + games to ease things up + agenda focus was really useful. Try it out, amazing team working behind it!

Meetings without structure that don't resolve anything are the worst. Well done, I can definitely see this being a hit!
