Meeting follow-up, automated
We built a Chrome extension that takes meeting notes and automatically drafts follow-up emails, calendar invites, tickets, and reminders. Instead of manually sending out action items, Sidenote turns bullet points into ready-to-send messages and tasks, saving users time after every meeting.
We live across San Francisco and Stanford, California, and we'd base the company in San Francisco after YC.
San Francisco is where we have better access to customers and investors, and it's a natural hub for productivity tools. Stanford is where some of us are currently based, but after YC we plan to operate primarily out of San Francisco.
