Increasing The Signal -> Ting Open Beta (Gmail + WhatsApp)

Two months ago, we launched @Meet-Ting here on Product Hunt in closed beta.

And you know what that’s meant?

• Lots of new features

• Lots of bugs (oh yes)

• Lots of new users (grateful)

But most of all… it’s time to boldy go from closed → open.

Why now?

Honestly? We’ll never feel “ready.” (Well… I won’t. My CTO and team have been ready for weeks).

But here are the real reasons:

Waitlist friction

Waitlists are great for hype. Ours helped us qualify Gmail domains and let people in one by one.

But… we lost ≈6k people at the front door.

7.7k web visits → 1.3k signups. That’s a lot of “maybe later.”

The growth marketer in me cried a little.

Reliability + data

Ting isn’t single-player AI. It’s multiplayer. I've been pretty open, reliability is tough.

Often, Ting negotiates across up to four people’s calendars. Sometimes half use Ting, half don’t. Add shifting time zones + human chaos, and you’ve got a scheduling negotiation that’s… not simple.

When it works, it’s amazing. But to get there, we need usage. More data → more mistakes → more learning.

(Think about it: you don’t remember the smooth presentations at work. You remember the ones where you crashed. That’s where the learning lives. Ting feels the same.)

New features

We’ve been busy. Some features came from community requests, some from discovery, some from trusting our taste (a little Rick Rubin energy, as you know).

• CC Ting → Same core feature, just more battle-tested. Drop Ting into any email thread to handle scheduling.

• WhatsApp → Talk to Ting like a friend. Move meetings, find focus time, let guests know you’re late.

• Link to Ting → Drop a link anywhere. Guests click to open an email, Ting joins the thread, and scheduling happens in one place.

• Smart agendas → Ting pulls context from email into the meeting description. Start every call with purpose.

• Ting Memories → “No meetings on Fridays.” “Block tomorrow morning.” Ting remembers.

• Integrations → Because Ting lives in Gmail + WhatsApp, it already plugs into almost any workflow.

Where we are

It’s always easier to judge than to build (another life lesson). If you do judge, please send it our way. Everything goes into Jira, even the small stuff!

Come join us

Book a meeting or two. Tell us what you love, what you don’t. Ting will follow up after your first booking, or you can always DM me.

The vision hasn’t changed:

Tech that understands time, strengthens relationships, and feels warm, considerate, emotionally intelligent.

The only way to build that is with more humans doing their usual messy thing in emails and messages. So keep being you - and Ting will learn (and learn again if it gets it wrong the first time)!
