The idea for our software originated in our first company, which we had built primarily remotely. There, our approach was to minimize the number of meetings. As a result, we had weekly team meetings that were comprehensive and therefore needed to be well-structured.

This led us to the idea of using Google Docs as a collaborative meeting agenda. Each participant had to input all of their agenda items for the upcoming meeting by a certain deadline, allowing everyone to prepare. We took it a step further by commenting on the agenda items, finding that many topics could be resolved, to some extent, before the meeting even began. This shortened the meeting duration considerably.

This approach enabled us to significantly increase productivity while spending less time in inefficient meetings.

However, we faced challenges with Google Docs and other software products, prompting us to start developing initial prototypes for use within our company.
