Ask HN: Building AI notetaker for immigrant founders. What am I missing?
Hi, I’m building Caret(caret.so), an AI meeting notetaker for immigrant founders. We help immigrant founders/startups to close more sales deals in the US. (Of course, you can just use it — confidently say it is way better than Granola, Otter, and so on)
Our product went viral in South Korea, we relocated to US and finding more customers. But I’m thinking about things like ‘Where are they?’, ‘What they really need?’ or ‘How can reach out more proactively?’, it makes me slow down. Could you give me some advice?

The selling point we're pushing right now: 1/ Real-time transcription and timeline summary: If you're an immigrant, you'll know this: since English isn't your first language, you sometimes miss a few words and lose focus wondering what you missed. Caret provides real-time transcription of conversations and displays an easy-to-follow timeline summary. It’s also the only product in the industry offering real-time speaker diarization, clearly showing who said what.
2/ Support for multiple channels (online/offline): Doing business globally means using various communication channels like WeChat, Zalo, or Meta Workplace. However, traditional meeting bots can't transcribe conversations from channels they don't support. Caret captures all system audio, allowing seamless transcription across multiple online channels as well as offline conversations.
3/ Reduce your meeting prep time (Coming soon!): Preparing for meetings is incredibly time-consuming. Even with extensive question lists, you might miss important points because you're too focused on pitching your product. Caret will soon release features to significantly cut your meeting preparation time by retrieving past conversation histories and performing prospecting tasks automatically. During meetings, Caret will notify you to do critical follow-ups, such as scheduling future meetings or sending contracts, ensuring you never miss important actions.
