Details
Calendly is THE scheduling link. Tope Awotona bootstrapped it for 8 years with $200k of his own money before taking investment in 2021. Now has 20M+ users. Not the most innovative anymore, but it just works and everyone recognizes it.
Gamma builds slides, documents, simple websites and social posts from a prompt or from material you already have. Its agent starts with an outline you can shape, then designs the pages, and you keep editing by chatting with it or by moving things around yourself.
It suits founders who need a pitch deck, a sales one-pager or a quick web page without opening a design tool. Imported PowerPoints and PDFs keep their formatting, and you can pull content in from Slack, Notion and Dropbox.
Every AI action uses credits. Plus costs $9 per seat a month billed yearly, with 1,000 credits a month, and Pro costs $18 with 4,000. Annual billing saves up to 28% compared with paying monthly.
