Shadow 2.0▲529
Hi HN, We built Shadow, a real-time meeting assistant that listens to your call and surfaces useful prompts while you’re speaking. The idea came from a simple observation: during important conversations (sales calls, founder meetings, interviews) you often realize the best question or insight 5 minutes too late. Shadow tries to solve that by acting like a quiet wingman during the call. What it does right now: • Tracks agenda topics so conversations don’t drift • Suggests follow-up questions based on what’s being said • Surfaces useful facts or angles in real time This is still an early MVP…
