2. Xe‎mbly

Klaviyo estimates that the average American has 1,602 unread emails in their personal inbox; Slack sends you 125 notifications daily, and a study by McKinsey shows that knowledge workers spend 1.8 hours daily (i.e., 22.5 percent of the working week) trawling through their work apps.

Since OpenAI released GPT-3, Taskade has slowly transformed into an AI productivity tool designed to help teams of all sizes remove friction from the creative and project management processes, bring all their work into one source of truth, and replace disparate productivity tools like Zoom, Slack, Google Docs, Asana, Monday, Trello, etc.

According to a 2017 survey of 182 senior managers by Harvard Business Review, endless meetings are usually a net negative:

• Seventy-one percent said they were unproductive and inefficient.
• Sixty-four percent said meetings came at the expense of deep thinking.
• Sixty-two percent said meetings missed opportunities to bring their team closer together.

The modern company’s culture of endless meetings costs companies 15 percent of their employees’ total working hours and wastes more than $37 billion annually.

Otter is one of several AI productivity tools designed to help you reduce that meeting madness. Otter is an AI-powered productivity assistant that enables effective meetings: it captures meeting notes, summarizes key points and highlights action items for the rest of your team.
