Why this works

Meeting fatigue is real — people attend meetings, take notes, then spend hours on follow-up tasks that should have been automatic. Shadow 2.0 bridges the capture-to-action gap.

The wedge

Meeting tools (Otter, Fireflies, Fellow) focus on transcription. Post-meeting action items are still manual. Shadow targets the underserved “what happens after the meeting” problem.

Solo-friendly because

  • Integrates with Zoom/Meet via API — no new meeting infrastructure needed
  • Simple rule-based action extraction can ship fast
  • Freemium model: free for individuals, team tier for Slack/Notion integration
  • Can start as a side project alongside a full-time job

Key risk

Meeting tool incumbents (Otter, Fireflies) may add this feature. Differentiation requires deep action item extraction quality or unique integrations.

First steps

  1. Integrate with Zoom/Meet API for meeting data access
  2. Build action item extraction using LLM
  3. Connect to task managers (Notion, Linear, Todoist)
  4. Ship free tier, add team collaboration features
