My unfair advantage used to be my meeting recorder It would take notes, summarize action items, and draft a follow-up email It worked OK. Great transcripts, good summaries But six months in I realized I had an entire archive of recordings I never opened I'd be on a sales call, then hop into our CRM to update the deal. And I'd think "wait, what did they say about timeline again?" I’d have to go back to the recorder, find the meeting, skim the transcript, copy the info, paste into our CRM It drove me nuts Then someone told me about Clarify - a new AI CRM on the market At first I was skeptical - another CRM, really? But the meeting recorder is built INTO the CRM interface So now when I talk to someone, the recording lives on their company page - next to our deal notes No more tab switching - it’s an unfair advantage The crazy part is that it reads the transcripts and updates deals automatically, generates tasks, and pulls out action items. And it's free. I keep waiting for the catch, but there isn't one. Anyway, if you're a founder and need a tool that punches above its price point - check it out.

I co-published a piece on the importance of founder communities with @patrickt010 from @getclarify Bottom line: Being a founder is the loneliest job in world. The only cure is to find a sense of belonging with similarly maniacal individuals that you resonate with.
