so I found five things on the productivity section in product hunt this week that I want to dive into
I'm very excited so let's dive in hello folks my name is Francesca d'alessio and welcome to
keep productive we're very excited to be diving into product hunt and what happened last week on
it lots of different things happening on it and I'm excited to talk about some of my favorites
so let's start and jump over so here we have uh we have Morgan Morgan is a calendar application
and they did pretty well on product 10 a while ago but they've released this AI function that allows
you to essentially organize your team's calendar and make better use of it but do things like get
inside protect certain time in blocks so that you actually focusing on their sort of personal work
but the insights are quite interesting like here it can tell you how much time you're spending on
meetings when you're contact switching when you're sort of fragmenting Team time but the
AI can also help block the time next week for the those periods of time so it's quite an interesting
little setup here and they've got what they're calling an extensive API allowing you to really
go a lot further interacting with tasks apps and others so it's really interesting to see this it
did quite well 571 up votes including myself but Morgan seemed to be growing much further for those
who don't know Morgan this is their page and they did a release a while ago crikey six months ago
it feels much longer than that but they're a super day when they released it and they're really going
from strength to strength to say the least so this one was something that interested me it's called
flow club for communities now basically what it does it turns any slack Discord a circle into a
co-working space and I've seen a couple of these co-working productivity space apps and I thought
they looked pretty cool so you can see here that what you can do is is basically structure
the sessions and have like a Pomodoro Timer the focus and some tasks as well which is pretty cool
and it's all premised around this this concept of being there together and doing it and during
these co-working social people actually talk to each other and that's just scheduled breaks but
it's quite a good way to actually really involve other people there was another one on product and
I think it was called Focus mate I wonder whether they've have posted this is another one that is
of similar uh sort of structure but it's really interesting to see these co-working productivity
applications and you can see this one has sort of evolved since then now another release that
happened last week was one called Rose two and I actually reviewed Rose a while ago reviewed
rows one but two actually includes a lot more embedding API and improved ways to be able to
add tables forms and charts but it's great for those who are looking to express their
information in something less less dull or less dull than Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and
what's nice is you can collaborate with teams on it in real time which is something you can
do with Google Sheets but definitely they got a good amount of attention from their release
next up is raycast now I'm so surprised Ray Castillo got so low on the old ratings but for
me it got much higher I really think raycast is in a really good position with artificial
intelligence because what it does is it allows you to use keyboard commands you can bring it
up as you're doing your work but what's cool is it can actually go over the top and rephrase some
stuff and now it's using you know chat GPT over top and I think that's really neat and there's an
API that has loads of different plugins I think there's loads of different apps like super notes
many more that actually take advantage of the API which is great to use so I think raycast AI
is really interesting that happened 15 days ago secondly or not last week but we're catching up
it happened in March and finally there's one that really impressed me God what a gorgeous
CRM it looks like it is looking very much like notion but it's a collaborative CRM that allows
you to manage all aspects of the business in this lovely looking it's red same when it is
lovely looking but it looks really nice and you can see task notes emails and reports and bring
them in into a CRM system and what's nice they've got a bunch of templates on there customizable and
it's much more designed for I would say high level trying to visualize and Report insights
and things like that but you can see here that people tend to be liking it it got product of
the day and second product of the week and all good sort of feedback about it especially the
design aspects so really interesting releases on product hunt guys hopefully we'll be back
next week to dive into a few more that are in space but my name is Francesca
d'alessio and I'm excited to share more about my favorite things on product 10. I'll see you soon
thank you
