Shadow 2.0
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…

In plain words
Shadow 2.0 is a meeting automation tool that listens to online calls and completes tasks during the conversation. It understands what's discussed, identifies action items, and executes workflows in real time—creating PDFs, generating slides, updating CRM records, scheduling follow-ups, and more. The software aims to eliminate post-call work by handling administrative tasks automatically while participants focus on discussion. It currently supports core workflows with plans to expand capabilities.

From the sources
Every online call creates a to-do list. Shadow clears it live. It understands your conversation, tracks what needs to happen, and executes tasks in real time. PDF creation, slide generation, CRM updates, follow-ups, and scheduling before the call ends. Our goal is to have no post-call work. Just stay focused while Shadow handles everything in the background. Starting with core workflows and expanding to everything your calls create.
Shadow joins your calls, remembers everything your team has learned, and works alongside you everywhere. One coworker, a crew of specialist agents underneath. Built by Converse AI Inc.

I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings2022 · unblah.me · ▲451Hey HN! Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York. I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings. The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by: * Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking * Catching myself before I talk too much * Developing a better sense of timing I truly love having conversations with people in real-life. But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
