Are you also tired of unnecessary meetings? Identify non-value adding meetings and receive suggestions how to optimize them. Let's ensure your team's valuable time is spent where it matters most.
Hey, Product Hunt crew! 👋
Everything we do at beams, is to help tech teams thrive. Today, we're stoked to share a tool we've cooked up to make your meetings matter more.
We are building beams together with and for product and tech teams of all sizes. One of the challenges they all share is having too many meetings. And let's be real—unnecessary meetings can suck the joy out of your day faster than you can say "agenda item."
You know that whole "this could have been an email" joke? Yeah, it hits different when it's your reality.
But guess what? There's light at the end of the tunnel! From Shopify binning boring meetings to Elon Musk preaching the gospel of walking out on pointless chats, change is in the air.
Enter our hero: "Meetings That Require Your Attention." Just sync up your Google Calendar, and boom! Find out which meetings seem to be non-value adding and how to turn 'em into something worthwhile.
We're all ears for your thoughts! Let us know how we can improve this tool for you. So that we can all take back our calendars, one meeting at a time 🚀

I have been using Beams for the past ~2 years, and I can't imagine working without it anymore! I love the focus feature, which allows me to increase my productivity, as well as how easy it is to organize and join meetings. Definitely try it out if you are ppl like me who has >20 hours of meetings every week!
Hiii Jana and Mihri! Congrats on your latest launch! This is so interesting! I'm wondering, how does it know what an ineffective meeting looks like? Also how does it calculate a costly meeting vs a non-costly meeting. Is it time based? thanks p.s. love the beams team!
@pamsny Thank you so much! We're currently looking into the number of attendees, acceptance ratio, duration of the meeting and since when it's been scheduled and (lack of) agenda or attachements to evaluate the meeting's effectiveness. The cost estimate is calculated based on duration, number of participants and an average salary. Looking for further feedback from users to enhance to optimize it their role and goals.
What are the meetings that you think they're non-value-adding or time wasting?
@jana_schellong wow nice! is there a way to evaluate a meeting afterwards, such as score it or let beams know it was a great meeting?
I'm pretty lucky in that I don't have too many meetings at PH (2-3 weekly). But I have been at startups where there is a daily check in meeting and I felt like that was not super value adding.
@pamsny So cool that you suggest that. We are actually working on exactly that feature where you can evaluate meetings afterwards and give feedback to the organizer. Can't wait for you to try it 🤩
Congrats on the launch! The idea of analyzing Google Calendar to identify non-value-adding meetings and offering suggestions for improvement is super useful. What specific criteria does Meeting Muse use to determine which meetings aren't contributing value, and can it suggest practical steps to make them more efficient?
@anastasia_chakileva_ great question! As @mihriminaz replied above:
We're currently looking into the number of attendees, acceptance ratio, duration of the meeting, agenda, description and attachments of the meeting to evaluate the meeting's effectiveness. Looking for further feedback from users to enhance to optimize it for role and the goals.

Congratulations on the launch! 🔥🔥🔥
Beam looks like a great tool for teams to start valuing their time more! The problems you discuss in the video — such as not having an agenda for meetings or inviting too many people when only a couple of them need to discuss the issue — are things we all struggle with from time to time. The ability to have an objective analysis of it all with the counted cost of time can really make teams' relationships with meetings healthier. Great job!
