Really great looking tool with room for improvement

I originally dismissed the idea of this tool as I already have a half dozen other tools for scheduling/calendar/meeting related tasks. I have also not had great luck with other similar agenda/meeting minutes type apps in the past. Then I watched a few videos on Adam.ai and poked around the site a bit and I started to see some possibilities. I grabbed a single code and I've been really impressed with the tool thus far. I immediately put it to use on a meeting I had this morning, setting the existing meeting and creating an agenda inside of Adam.ai literally 15 minutes before the meeting was to take place. The design was so intuitive that I had no problems getting things set and my associates had no issue getting in and understanding what was going on. I am going to give it a second go in about 30 minutes for another already scheduled call. If it works out again I will probably grab another code.

As great as the tool is, there are definitely some easy to remedy shortcomings, which others have already pointed out. Lack of integrations and some missing features among them. But it seems many of these things are already on the roadmap which could make this a 5 taco deal in no time.

PROS
• Simple and clean design
• Intuitive interface
• Quick setup with many options
• Great value at each code

CONS
• No option for US date format (this will be a huge issue for any of us in the USA)
• No time zone on the time selection area. I'd like to know for sure what time zone I am working with and that all of the attendees are receiving the invites/ setting things up in their current time zone.
• As far as I can tell, there is no dynamic function to the meeting invites. I.e. if you make any changes to the date or time no update is sent out. At least it wasn't in my tests. This is a significant missing feature.
• No whitelabel. Would be especially welcome on the email invites and landing page.
• Very light on the integrations. Their movement in this area will make or break the success of this tool.

INTEGRATION WISH LIST
I know we all have integration requests for Adam.ai. I hope they will have a public roadmap and/or support community where we can formally request and vote on integrations. Here are my top wish integrations:
• Infinity (startinfinity.com) which is becoming a hugely popular alternative to Trello, Asana, ClickUp
• Microsoft Teams - they already have O365 calendar integration so why not take that a step further for non-slack + non-zoom using teams?
• Uberconference (or other conference call services) as not everyone is using video calling
• BigMarker Another very popular video conferencing option
• Jitsi still another video option with a great free tier

Hi Just_s,

Thank you for your feedback.

The time zone is supported, you can find it on your account settings page where you'll be able to set your time zone area. But note that timezones here are not for each meeting, when the meeting gets created it automatically changes the time according to the timezone in your account settings for you and all the attendees you invited.

Regarding meeting invitations, the meeting invitations are not automatically sent to the attendees as we wanted to give more flexibility as sometimes you won’t need to send invitations immediately and send the invitations whenever you like. In regards to meeting rescheduling notification, we definitely have that. But when an attendee isn't previously invited he'll not receive a rescheduling email as he wasn't invited before. So we’ll make it more accessible by adding an option while creating a meeting to automatically send the invitations to the attendees.

Guest accessibility updates, White-labeling and most of the integrations you mentioned are on our roadmap and will be available soon. We’ll also have a public portal where you can share all your ideas and vote on all the other requested features and be able to see the upcoming released features.

Thanks again for the feedback. Let us know if you have any further feedback or suggestions!
