Competitor time
Looking inside Google Gemini, Mistral, and the coming robot wave
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI copilot that transforms your documents, notes, and conversations into quotes, shareable content, and a queryable database.
Another week, another set of major updates. We’re rolling.
This week, you’ll notice three improvements to your meetings and People profiles:
Get the pronouns right. No more mixups between folks named Sam, Taylor, or Jordan. Now you can add pronouns to people's profiles so Heyday respects their identity…and you don’t have to fix mistaken references in your notes.
Incorporate context from the past. Add your client’s LinkedIn profile to pull details from their past work into your Assistant’s responses and meeting notes.
Add those personal details. Jot down details about your clients that aren't captured elsewhere to personalize your coaching feedback.
The result is automatic meeting recaps that know all of your context. It’s a powerful thing.
If you’re a management consultant or executive coach, your work requires you to connect the dots. Try Heyday as your thought partner free for the next two weeks. You deserve a helping hand.
