ReadyCall Vision: Notepad as Work Entrypoint

· product-design, readycall

The Wedge vs The Vision

Wedge: Multi-lingual transcription quality (Soniox + Doubao)

  • Gets us in the door
  • Real gap in market
  • But not defensible long-term (Granola can catch up)

Vision: The notepad as the entrypoint of one's work

  • Meetings don't exist in isolation — they connect to everything
  • Connect across meetings (recurring 1:1s, project threads, customer history)
  • Connect to existing context (Notion docs, Attio CRM, etc.)

What "Entrypoint of Work" Means

Meetings are where work happens:

  • Decisions get made
  • Context gets shared
  • Action items emerge
  • Relationships develop

But currently, meeting notes are dead artifacts. They don't connect to:

  • The last 5 conversations with this person
  • The Notion doc you were discussing
  • The deal in your CRM
  • The action items from previous meetings

The Moat

If ReadyCall becomes the connective tissue between:

  • Meetings (past and present)
  • Knowledge bases (Notion, etc.)
  • Relationship data (CRM, contacts)
  • Tasks and follow-ups

Then switching cost increases dramatically. It's not just "another transcription tool" — it's your work memory.

Open Questions

  • What's the first integration that proves this? (Notion? CRM?)
  • How do you surface connections without being noisy?
  • Does this require a different UI than a "notepad"?
  • How does this relate to the "living knowledge base" idea?
