AI Meeting Builder

Did you ever think… what if I could have ChatGPT for meetings?

Now you can with our new AI Meeting Builder!

AI Meeting Builder is a powerful AI extension suite that automates and optimizes the meeting experience.

The first step is AI Agenda.This innovative feature uses multiple inputs to automatically generate the perfect agenda tailored to your meeting's topics and goals.

After your smart agenda is set, AI Time Suggest provides you with the ideal meeting times based on availability and preferences, taking into account time zones and other factors.

But we haven't stopped there...We want our users to be focused in meetings so they can maximize the value of each session.

One hindrance to this is constantly trying to take notes while you and/or others are speaking.

Our AI Notetaker eliminates this distraction forever by automatically summarizing your meetings.

No more context-switching trying to jot down notes; with AI Notetaker, you'll get a transcribed summary sent at the end of your meetings that covers all of the key points and assigned action items.

Magical is Now Magical.so: #1 Product of the Day

image

Magical Announces the World's First Time Operating System: Magical.so.

Magical.so is transformational and all-encompassing ambient workspace that makes your time accessible wherever and whenever you need it.

"Calendars exist in silos and can’t fully interact with all of the ways we manage our time, because our time is everywhere," states Tommy Barav, Founder and CEO. "Time is the connecting tissue between meetings, apps, software, people, and knowledge. We’re laser-focused on starting a time revolution to rethink how we use time to work, communicate, and meet."

AI-Powered Meeting Invitations

The first step in this time revolution is eliminating pointless meetings at the source: bad meeting invitations.

Current legacy schedulers aren't optimized to deliver accurate or desirable meeting times. They don't reflect our true availability, they don't let us prioritize participants, and they cause endless cycles of annoying back-and-forth emails.

Backed by Magical AI™ and Dynamic Availability™ scheduling, our invitations let you find the ideal time to meet, every time. The scheduling process is fast and straightforward for all parties:

  1. Our AI assistant selects ideal meeting times, or manually choose your preferred slots
  2. Send your availability to guests with a personalized link
  3. Guests overlay their own calendars and find mutual free times
  4. If no times are convenient, guests can view your full calendar (all event names are hidden for privacy) to suggest an alternative slot

One link. Zero back-and-forth.

All easily accessible every time you open a new browser tab.

You can also transform your invitations into collaborative hubs to capture and sync meeting notes directly into Notion, as well as join your Zoom sessions directly from browser tabs.

"We built super-powered meetings invitations that are actually a delight to send," states Barav. "They require zero effort, and always find your ideal meeting time so you can eliminate bad meetings before they start."

The Future of Time. Reimagined.

Propelled by AI and advanced automation, Magical.so heads into 2023 focused on transforming its Time Operating System into the nexus for all time-related tasks.

The timeOS will enable you to unlock your time everywhere by interconnecting your favorite time tools, such as Notion, Salesforce, and Slack. These deep integrations will allow you to intuitively generate agendas, link to relevant resources, and add collective knowledge to any time-related tasks.

"Modern work demands solutions that sync with all of your tools, workflows, and processes," says Barav. "Our Time Operating System will be an ambient and automated workspace that makes your time accessible wherever and whenever you need it.”

Magical Launches timeOS

Magical Launches Fastest Meeting Notes Experience for Chrome

Meetings are an inescapable part of modern work.

However, most of us are constantly inundated by meetings and meeting-related tasks.

To put a human face on the problem, we polled over 1,000 knowledge workers earlier this year. We found that nearly 8/10 regularly feel completely overwhelmed by their meetings and calendars (hands up if you can relate 🙋😩).

This inundation seriously hampers our productivity:

  1. MEETING AMNESIA: With so many meetings, it's almost impossible to keep track of what's taken place in previous sessions
  2. MEETING FATIGUE: We're deluged by a barrage of meetings that start late and/or run over, and thus prevent us from focusing on our most important work
  3. LOST TIME: All told, the inefficiencies of the meeting processes cost each of us 100's of valuable hours every year.

We built timeOS to alleviate these pains.

But how, you may ask?

By streamlining your meeting workflow directly in Chrome tabs 🤩

Here's how it works…

Every time you open a new tab, the meeting experience is simplified to save you time:

  1. Notes x Notion 📝: Instantly take meeting notes and automatically organize them in Notion
  2. Upcoming Meetings 📆: See your next meeting and quickly join straight from Chrome
  3. Hassle-Free Reminders ✨: Never miss a meeting, or have one run over, as we alert you before your sessions are about to begin, as well as when your current session is scheduled to end

Lastly, for our power users (probably everyone in the PH community 😉), almost all of the actions you take in timeOS can be executed with key commands… saving you even more time.

Our mission at Magical is to get you and your team to time-waste zero.

We're building a collaborative calendar for teams designed for the new era of modern work.

The first step in that journey starts today with the launch of timeOS.

We're super proud to deliver the fastest meeting notes experience on Chrome and genuinely hope it brings you and your teammates less stress and more focus.

Stay tuned for the launch of our full-service collaborative calendar later this year.
