Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and others are a standard, when it comes to having a meeting online. They have been regularly used by companies around the world in the past few years. But none of then expected how the year 2020 is going to turn the cards into their favor.
When the COVID-19 virus has appeared in China, no one would predict the spread and impact it would have on all of us around the world. But we have all quickly realized that it isn’t a regular flu and in the wink of an eye governments around the world started to impose restrictions affecting our daily lives. With that being said, closed businesses and schools had to switch to an online form of meetings and classes. As reported by yourmoney.com, this has caused a huge growth of Zoom users (by whooping 2,000%.)
We all surely know the feeling of having a class online – it’s definitely different than being at school and nowadays, we have to do it for several hours a day. Very often during those meetings we get confused, excited or express other feelings we would like to share with the other participants, but those platforms don’t really help us communicate. So is there room for improvement?
Headroom, a brand new startup is working on a platform that will change everything by bringing A.I. on board. No more struggling to get attention or having troubles with bad connection. Headroom will be able to handle all the tasks you need – like raising your hand and overall attention, note-taking and even making a transcription of the whole meeting and a smart automatically-generated summaries. This would mean that every participant would only have to focus on the key thing – communication with others.
As the market has grown during the past few months, there is surely a room for improvement and I can’t wait to see Headroom’s product, so can’t others. Techcrunch.com has reported that Headroom has managed to raise $5m dollars from several investors, including Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI venture fund).
