This is very interesting and different.

I recently had the pleasure of mentoring Derek Hatchard during the latest Energia Ventures accelerator cohort at UNB Fredericton. Derek is the founder of Posthaste, a product with the big ambition to consolidate all your input signals into a universal AI-managed and prioritized inbox. So far they integrate with GMail and Slack. According to Gartner's hype cycle, gen-AI solutions are going through the "peak of inflated expectations" and may enter the "trough of disillusionment" during 2025. Some of these productivity apps will be bought by Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, etc., in a consolidation phase, but the majority will cease to exist within the next couple of years. Something similar, with less fanfare, is happening in the business management platforms world, with the proliferation of niche CRMs, ERPs, etc., for specific industry verticals. This past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with Otter.ai and with Decisions. I bought a one-year subscription to Otter, which has become my to go note taking app in both, online and in-person meetings. As per Decisions, I think I will like it due to its natural integration with MS365, but it takes a bit of a learning and adaptation curve.
