đ€ Your 45-minute meeting shouldnât create another 30 minutes of work
Client calls are already part of running a business. Writing notes, pulling out action items, and figuring out what needs to happen next shouldnât be.
Krisp handles that work for you.
It removes background noise and echo during the call, then automatically captures the conversation, creates notes and summaries, and pulls out the next steps afterward.
So you can actually focus on the person youâre talking to instead of taking notes and finish the meeting without creating another task for yourself.
And if youâre a founder managing client calls across a small team, the time saved across everyoneâs meetings adds up fast.
See what Krisp can take off your plate â

DEEP DIVE
Heâs making $80K/Month from two boring tools. Here are 3 markets he says still need software (million-dollar opportunity).
Every week another AI tool for content marketers or another Notion competitor shows up on your timeline. Scroll Twitter, scroll the indie hacker forums, and itâs the same six categories over and over. Everyoneâs building in the same glittering corner because itâs whatâs trending, not because itâs whatâs open.
Hereâs what building software has actually become: easy. With the AI tools available right now, a non-technical person can go from idea to working product in days.
That part of the problem is basically solved. Which means the thing that actually decides whether your software makes money isnât how well you build it, itâs whether you picked an industry that still needs the fix.
And thereâs a whole category of businesses nobodyâs fighting over: boring, unglamorous, essential businesses that are actively underserved by software. Not âcould theoretically use a nicer tool.â Actively underserved, meaning the tools that exist are outdated, donât fit how the business actually runs, or donât exist at all, and the owner is still doing it by hand or in a spreadsheet because nothing better ever showed up.
I spent time with a founder whoâs built two of these tools, both for boring, unglamorous businesses, and combined theyâre doing around $80,000 a month. He shared the numbers directly with me and showed me his dashboard, but he asked to stay fully anonymous and untraceable, so canât reveal the tool. What he was willing to share in full was the strategy: how he picks which boring industry to build for, how he builds it without a big team, how he validates before writing code, how he actually gets his first boring-business customers to say yes and shared the three boring market that still need software support
Thatâs the whole issue. How to pick the industry, how to build it, how to validate it, how to onboard your first customers, and three specific boring businesses that still need real software help right now.
