Stop self-rejecting + start building
Hello everyone, This one cuts a little deeper. It's about self-editing. And self-rejection. I think most of us suffer from it. "I could never do that." "I could never say that." "I could never start that." "I could never ask that." I hear it all the time. Usually in response to things I'm doing - which, if you keep reading, you'll find deeply ironic. When I left my job to build @Meet-Ting, my...

A stranger at Web Summit accidentally gave us a feature
I didn't know no-shows waste 15-40% of every sales team's calendar until I met a stranger at Web Summit. I was standing by our booth when someone wandered over and started asking about what we're building at @Meet-Ting. I assumed he was just curious. Then he mentioned his company loses a lot of time to no-shows across his sales team. I asked how many. "We get 10,000 inbound demos a month." He...
Big Ting Web Update - "Try Before You Signup", Ting for Business + Remixing with Claude
Hey all, We just made a much overdue update to our website based on some key insights that I thought helpful to share. If you're new here, @Meet-Ting is AI that runs your calendar and meetings end to end, you just CC it into email to takeover or text on WhatsApp to handle things. Sounds simple? Actually, no! People still struggle to CC AI into an email thread because it's a new behaviour, just...
Make Scheduling As Easy As Sending A Voice Note On WhatsApp
We're constantly looking for ways to reduce the pain and cognitive load of managing your calendar. We started with something simple: CC Ting in an email and it schedules the meeting for you. Then we added WhatsApp - message Ting and it sends an agent to handle the coordination. Now we're making it even easier. You can book meetings, set reminders, and coordinate events and guests with a single...



The Power Of Customer Calls (Not What You Think)
Before I started Ting, I did the classic founder things... Read every Paul Graham essay. Listened to Masters of Scale. Obsessed over founder stories. There’s always that moment in those stories. The magical customer call. The gold-dust that changes everything. The door-knocking moment (Airbnb). It is romantic. But, but. but. In reality? It’s really, really hard. People are busy. Most outreach...
We added the Product Hunt badge to our website. It felt good.

Will Marketing Be The Most Important Future Hire? (Long Read)
This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina. A few days ago I saw this: A year ago, I would have instantly retweeted, liked, bookmarked, and moved on. Oh, and maybe sent to my boss (by accident). Now - as a slightly more evolved marketer these days - I paused. Because while I agree marketing is becoming more important than ever… product...


From Reactive To Proactive AI - Ting Week Ahead Upgrade
Hey all, In our recent Ting v2 launch, we talked about giving your calendar your brain so it can make decisions for you. That means moving from reactive → proactive → full automation. We’ve experimented with full automation, but it turns out it needs a lot of context to get right - and when it gets it wrong, the consequences can be pretty painful... when calendars, meetings, and other people...
