Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back. Everybody ready for another deep dive.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Absolutely always excited to get into the nitty gritty of things.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Well, today we're going right to the source, you know,
hearing what users are actually saying.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Can't beat that kind of feedback.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's about fathom. Fathom, you know, for those zoom calls
we all love and sometimes love to hate.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Ah, Yes, zoom the double edged sword of modern communication.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
So we're deep diving into the world of product hunt reviews, a.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Treasure trove of unfiltered opinions.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Exactly, real people, real experiences. Now Fathom on the surface,
it records, it transcribes, and it summarizes those zoom calls.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Sounds handy, But what's the magic.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Sauce, right, what makes it stand out?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, it's not just about capturing words. Fathom uses AI
to well kind of dissect the conversation. Interesting, It pulls
out insights, it creates summaries, and the accuracy is impressive.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So you're saying it like, instead of re listening to
an hour long meeting.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Exactly, you get a clear, concise overview, actionable stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Time saver I got admit, I didn't realize how much
time I spend, Like wrestling with notes. This AI summarization
has got me curious.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's a game changer for a lot of people, and.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
The reviews reflect that right away. You see game changer,
you see life saver popping up all over.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's hitting a nerve. People have this pain point and
Fathom seems to be offering real relief.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
A solution that actually works precisely well. Christmasina, you know,
the hashtag guy calls it maybe the fastest tool out
there for recording and sharing transcripts of client calls.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Speed is king these days, but it's.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Not just about speed. Noushbar Apport calls Fathom like this
amazing meeting assistant. Oh I like that helps them, you know,
wrap up meetings in just five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Speak of all the time that freeze up.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
It adds up, and you see all these different ways
people are using it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh yeah, the versatility is pretty remarkable.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
We got Darren Malone turning notes into actionable items, Toby
or If using it for user research, Dane Rathbone sharing
those research highlights.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Easily, like a Swiss army knife for your meetings.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
No matter what you're using those meetings.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
For, adapts to the user's needs. Doesn't try to force
them into one way of doing things.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
And here's the kicker. Fathom is free. Wait what m
vy Braverman puts it perfectly can't beat the price.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Especially for solopreneurs, freelancers, anyone starting out.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
O zeb calls it a must have for any solopreneur.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Free and this powerful. That's a serious disruption.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Makes you wonder though, right, what's the business model sustainability?
Will they always keep it free or will we see
like a freemium model down the line?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Good question. Only time will tell. But hey, speaking of
great products, you know getting the word out.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Are you looking to put your product in front of
an engaged audience, people.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Who are actively looking for the next big thing.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
This podcast could be your platform.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Think about it. We delve into these product hunt reviews,
the good, the bad, the ugly.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
We bring you those raw, unfiltered user opinions.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
This audience values authenticity. They want those real insights.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Now. It wouldn't be fair to just focus on the glowing.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Reviews, because you see the whole picture.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Philip Govin, he mentioned some crash reports on teams calls
and we see several users like Christian and Ramachandrin wishing
for support beyond just zoom.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's understandable.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
We live in a multi platform world.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
People are tired of juggling a dozen different tools. They
want that one solution that just works with everything they're
already using.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
This desire for broader support, it's definitely a recurring theme
in these reviews.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
It points to a larger trend platform fatigue.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And on that note, let's talk about that AI summarization.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Now, that's where things get really interesting.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Lorganzale said something like instant thirty second summary from a
thirty minute call insane.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's amazing how accessible this kind of AI technology is becoming.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
You're right, a few years ago this was like top tier,
big budget stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now it's right there at your fingertips, and.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
The applications are mind blowing. Eric Grimley uses it to
recall old meetings. Rachelifakerri is actually saving money canceling other
subscriptions because of fathom summarization features.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's revolutionizing how we work, how we think.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Makes you wonder, right, where are we headed and.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
How will AI shape that future?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Speaking of the future, this AI summarization, I'm starting to
see why people call Fathom a life saver. Grasping the
essence of a meeting without getting lost in notes or
endless re listening.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's a productivity powerhouse.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
But there's more to unpack. We've got a lot more
reviews to go through.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I'm curious to see what other trends emerge. What stood
out to you so far? What piques your interests?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Great question before we dive into the next badge of reviews,
I want you to think about this. With these AI
power tools like Fathom on the rise, what does the
future of meetings look like?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, we even need to attend them all.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's something to ponder, isn't it. M h. We'll be
right back with more user insights on Fathom.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Stay tuned, and don't forget to follow us on your
preferred social media platform to stay up to date with
the deep dive food for thought. Right. But yeah, for now,
most of us are still stuck.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
With meetings reality of the modern world.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Right, And hey, Fathom is at least making those meetings
less of a headache.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know, going through these product hunt reviews, it's the emotion,
the passion that really strikes me. It goes beyond Oh,
this is a useful tool.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
People are genuinely excited, relieved.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Even like they've found a solution to a real problem.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Exactly, it's not just a feature list, it's impacting their lives.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Jessica Aby said she can't even imagine what it was
like before Fathom.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Chris Browlin's a self proclaimed fan, even shouting out the
Fathom team for their support.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
That speaks volumes.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's not just the software, it's the whole.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Experience, the human element that's so important, especially in the
tech world.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Combine a great product with great support and you've got
a winning formula.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Another thing that comes up a lot in these reviews
is accuracy. Mike Boyd calls it amazingly accurate note taking.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, gotta be able to trust the results.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And Tommy Daviess been using Fathom for two years, cross
different platform.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's a longtime user.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
He highlights the accuracy and integration benefits.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, that's key, right, Absolutely, If you can't trust the transcription,
what's the point.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And remember how some users wanted broader platform.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Support, Yeah, expanding beyond just Zoom.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
There's another common thread, customization.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
People want to tweak things to fit their own workflows.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Create custom tags, control those AI summaries makes sense.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Even with a great base product, people want that personal
touch su get there.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh here's a funny one from Nicholas Zeckner. Looks ugly
but does its job.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Huh. Sometimes function over form wins the day.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
As long as it works right.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Exactly, It's about results.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
But you know, beyond those standard uses, it's cool to
see people getting creative with Fathom. Oh yeah, like what
Kendroanzio is using it to generate specifications when building software products.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's thinking outside the box.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
And k Chason mentioned using it for content creation could
be anything, writing articles, media posts.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Shows you the flexibility of the tool.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Good products should be adaptable, let users find those unique solutions.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Be a partner in problem solving.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
So before we go to the final round of reviews,
you know we touched on the future of meetings earlier. Yeah,
the big question do you think tools like Fathom could
actually make traditional meetings obsolete?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's a hot debate. Fathom makes it so easy to
get the info, share it asynchronously.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
But meetings are about more than just information, right.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's the collaboration, the brain storming, the decision making together.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
That that human element hard to replicate in a purely
digital space exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I think tools like fatom will change how we approach meetings,
make them more focused, more intentional.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
But replace them entirely, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's about finding that balance between synchronous and asynchronous communication.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Speaking of balance, we've got one more set of reviews
to go through. These ones really showcase the impact Fathom
is having on productivity, even peace of mind.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's what it's all about, making work less stressful, more effective.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Let's hear what they have to say. These last few
Fathom reviews really drive home the point this tool isn't
just a nice to have. It's making a real difference.
We're talking about increased productivity, even comments about feeling less stressed,
like a weight has been lifted.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, it's taking that burden of meeting management off their shoulders.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
John Zaraski, his investment fund actually invested in Fathom.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh wow, putting her money where their mouth is.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
He calls it an indispensable part of his daily workflow.
Specifically loves those lightweight human in the loop features that
enhance those AI summaries.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
So it's not just about handing everything over to the AI.
There's still that human element.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Of control and Francis Quinn she echoes that sentiment Fathom
makes her life so much easier. Yeah, gives a shout
out to the customer support too.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Again, it's that winning combination right, powerful product, supportive.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Team, builds trust. Victoria Wan calls it by far the
best video note taking tool out there right now, and
a bunch of viewers say they'd happily pay for it
even though it's free.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
That's when you know you've got something special when people
are willing to pay for a free product.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
This one really resonated with me. Arlene Washburn, she found
Fathom back in twenty twenty two, calls it life changing.
She loves that she can be fully present in meetings,
knowing fathoms, capturing everything, then easily share recordings and notes
with clients.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's freeing up mental space to actually engage in the conversation,
build those relationships.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Instead of being bogged down with note taking. And it's
not just about saving time, it's about reducing stress and
proving focus. Katie Dunne says Fathom has changed how she
engages in meetings completely.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
How so allows her to be completely present in the discussion.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
In a world of constant distractions. That's a superpower.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Absolutely, these AI summaries got to give another shout out.
Shayhadar calls them the AE game changer, says they let
him inject real value into any zoom call.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
By capturing and sharing the essence of the conversation instantly.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's clear that the AI is what sets the lava apart,
changing how we process information, how we get value out
of those conversations that, let's face it, dominate our work lives.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, meetings aren't going away anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Rachel Provin, she's blown away by the accuracy of the summaries,
even with noose topics, calls them perfect. And get this,
I no longer have to take notes or a press
any buttons. It's all done for me.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's the dream, effortless productivity.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Last one. Yeah. Boujeold, a product marketer, calls Fathom a
lifesaver for customer interviews.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
No more frontic scribbling, just.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Pure focus on the conversation. They even use it to
track how much they're talking, you know, making sure it's
a balanced, engaging interview for both sides.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
So it's not just about capturing information, it's about becoming
a better communicator.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Right self improvement. So what's the takeaway here? Fathom is
a highly praised tool. It's making a real difference in
how people handle meetings, how they collaborate, even how they
manage their own time and focus. Users love the ease
of use, the accuracy, the fact that it's free, and
those powerful AI summaries.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
And if they listen to that feedback expend beyond zoom.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
They could become the go to platform for all things
online meetings. Well, that's a wrap on our deep dive

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
