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...

Hopefully this isn’t your second Ting notification overload in a couple of days 😅 We got top three launch for the day yesterday! We're so delighted and grateful. Thank you for upvotes, comments, good vibes and giving us the energy to keep pushing. We said we’d give Product Hunt something extra, but we didn't want to spam yesterday. We put together a full teardown of how Ting actually works -...

Dear PH community, Next week marks six months of Ting - and it would feel wrong not to do something special here, where it all started. Product Hunt has a permanent place in Ting lore, so we’re bringing something back next Thursday, just for this community... Since our launch, AI scheduling has really taken off. YC-backed Vela shipped a few weeks ago, Sequoia backed BlockIt yesterday, and...

One of the coolest parts of my job is getting a front-row seat to how @marianaprazeres thinks about AI. “Memory” feels table stakes in AI right now. But for @Meet-Ting, it’s not just a log of the past - it’s a living system that shapes how people schedule, work, and want to spend their week. It’s not just logistics - it’s patterns around energy, priorities, and relationships over time. Here are...

Hey all, 15 years ago I wrote an article about the rise of a more social web for Huff Post. At the time, Facebook was updating its News Feed and bringing Spotify, Zynga etc. into it. Google was also launching Google+. Obviously, one changed the internet. The other validated it, even if it didn't pay off. If you think about that shift, we stopped going to the internet to browse our top 10 sites...

Dear Product Hunt community, If you’re reading this and you’ve launched something - or you're close to launching - you are already incredibly special. We talk a lot about unicorns, but we don't talk enough about the big filtering process or idea funnel. Most people never even start. With some help from Gemini, the funnel looks like this: Idea Phase: Out of 1,000 people with a "genius" idea,...

There’s a lot you end up thinking about as a startup founder. Success, doom... and the question that connects those dots: How do we actually make money - in a way that lets this become a self-sustaining business? If you’re building in AI, that question is... not easy. I've been thinking about this topic a lot for Ting. I've seen pricing through a lot of angles in my career. At adidas (perceived...

Everything with Ting started here on Product Hunt, so feels only right to wrap the last four months. It’s been mad. It's the only word I can use. First time founders, new team, big idea, AI - I mean, that's all the fun ingredients. So what does 'mad' actually mean though? Let me try... 1. Less sleep. 2. More internal reward. 3. A new ability to sit at the tension of everything's going to go...

Hey all, It’s that time of year where if you’re not writing a “year ahead” post, then what are you even doing? As a founder building in AI, you sit in a weirdly privileged spot for this kind of thing. You’re building with AI daily, you’re meeting with developer advocate teams, you’re at events with other builders, you’re talking to VCs, and most importantly, you’re talking to customers (real...

Hey all, A new feature from Ting that I thought had some learnings for everyone building in AI. At 7pm local time yesterday, in 1,000 inboxes across the world, @Meet-Ting sent a proactive message for the first time. Everything so far with Ting has been reacting to the user's command, so getting CC into an email to help plan, book, reschedule or send meeting invites (multi-party), or sharing...
