How Supernormal Is Changing Meetings For Good

Supernormal is transforming the way individuals and businesses capture meeting details with its cutting-edge AI-driven platform. Co-founders Fabian Perez and Colin Treseler realized the potential for AI to aid in capturing critical meeting discussions after leaving their brainstorming sessions with a lack of substantial notes. Together they invented Supernormal to eliminate the need to manually record meeting notes and almost instantly generate a list of high-quality action items, key decisions, and more for meetings.

Although Supernormal was founded in January of 2020, Perez and Treseler's collaboration dates back to over a decade ago. They initially found common ground when working at a Balderton-funded company together. Their combined experience, which includes product management roles at Meta and chief of staff at Klarna's risk department for Treseler and directorship of design at GitHub for Perez, provided the catalyst for Supernormal's inception.

“At an organization level, our meetings are a significant part of our work product that, until now, were ephemeral or too unwieldy to consume — who rewatches an hour-long meeting when the key notes are what are important?” Treseler stated in a TechCrunch interview.

Today the average person attends 14 meetings a month or 8 hours of meetings a week. Re-scheduled and recurring meetings make up about 76% of all meetings and the remaining 24% consists of spontaneous or one-time meetings. That’s a lot of recordings and a lot of potential meeting notes to review!

Every Last Word

For those who find making meeting notes a tedious task, Supernormal.com is a breath of fresh air. With an unwavering commitment to precision, the platform captures every syllable spoken during a meeting, ensuring no critical detail is missed. Supernormal uses OpenAI’s text-processing AI to do the summarization work so that you can spend more time focusing on what’s being said rather than struggling to jot down every word.

Unrivaled Reliability

Integration and dependability are the cornerstones of Supernormal.com, with bots designed for platforms like Zoom and Teams and a Google Meet Chrome extension that melds into your existing workflow. The service guarantees that capturing your meetings will be effortless and punctual, assuring that Supernormal's presence is as reliable as it is unobtrusive.

AI Funding Continues

Supernormal received $10 million in January 2023 from a funding round led by Balderton, with additional backing from Acequia Capital and by Founders VC to support product research and development and hiring. Ever since then, Supernormal has been leading the race in redefining how businesses record and review their meeting outcomes.
