Sunsama – Guided Daily Planning ☀️

Sunsama is a guided daily planner that helps you drag tasks from tools like Jira, Asana, email, and calendars into a single, realistic plan for the day. Instead of endless lists, you time‑box work into your schedule and close the day with a simple shutdown checklist.

Knowledge workers and founders use Sunsama as a calm “control center” for deep work. By forcing trade‑offs and giving each task a time slot, it reduces overcommitment and turns vague priorities into a focused daily agenda.

Tactiq – AI Meeting Transcription & Summaries 🎙️

Tactiq is a Chrome extension that provides live, speaker‑identified transcription for Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams without recording audio. It then uses GPT‑powered AI to generate concise summaries, action items, and agendas you can export to docs or other tools.

Remote teams adopt Tactiq to stop juggling between listening and note‑taking. With clear transcripts, highlighted decisions, and follow‑up tasks delivered within minutes, meetings become searchable assets instead of one‑time events.

Sunsama + Tactiq Workflow ⚙️

Used together, Tactiq captures what was decided in meetings while Sunsama turns those action items into scheduled work blocks. You move from “we agreed on this” to “this is when it will get done” without manual transcription or list clean‑up.

Teams and solo operators use this combo to close the loop between conversations and execution. Meeting outcomes flow straight into a daily plan, shrinking the gap between decisions and real progress.
