Never understood how people keep using free AI note-takers.
There is nothing FREE when it comes to AI tools as each of your meeting summary consumes tokens.
Free = selling out your meeting insights to train the models.
When we started @bluedot_ai, the goal was simple: capture every meeting without a bot.
Today we're shipping the next step - capturing every meeting without a laptop either.
Bluedot AI 2.1 is here 🚀
We just spent $15,000 on London Underground ads. Here's what I learned:
The Setup:
- 250 posters across Central London stations (focused on tech offices)
- Escalators only, people stand still and actually look
What I'd do differently:
- Test your print first. Digital colors ≠ printed colors. Should've done a sample.
- Add a promo code. People photograph posters. A promo code = easy tracking of actual conversions.
The real ROI:
Our campaign runs through the end of November, so too early to judge direct signups.
But the biggest impact so far?
Credibility.
People now see us as an established company, not just another startup. Hard to quantify, easy to feel.
The social media buzz? Way bigger than expected.
Bottom line:
Offline advertising works when you're ready to shift how people perceive your brand.
For our launch, we decided to go big and run ads in the London Underground 🚇
It’s our most expensive marketing experiment so far, and we’ll see how it performs over the next two weeks.
If you’re passing through Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf, or any of the other major hubs in London, take a selfie with our banner. We’ll add one extra month of subscription for free 💙

We're excited to officially launch 🔵 on Product Hunt today!
Here is a quick story about how we started Bluedot:
🗓 In 2019, my partner Dima and I started a staffing agency. We were a remote team from the start. When our team grew to more than 10 people, we quickly realized the importance of documenting every aspect of our business.
✍ This was crucial for us as a remote company as it prevented us from wasting our time in meetings. But, we were not good at writing and found it challenging to document everything manually.
🔵 Later, in 2022, we shifted our focus and started developing Bluedot, a tool designed to help companies automatically document all their business details with the power of AI. We are starting with meeting notes and soon planning to expand to how-tos, technical reports, email follow-ups, specifications, etc.
Your support would mean everything to us. Link to Product Hunt in the comments below 👇

Just got offered to pay 12K to a company that connects you with VCs and helps to get funding. 100% money-back guarantee if you fail to raise.
Sounds like a scam, doesn't it?

Nothing beats the learning, bonding, and fun that happens IRL like this 😍
Thank you ODX 🫂
I'm still amazed by how much value you can get from @Reddit. Just posted a poll on a podcast-related subreddit yesterday and got 400 replies and very specific comments from experts. Fantastic channel for user research👌
