Your team is full of smart people. So why do decisions take weeks or months and meetings go nowhere? Because your team has tools for talking and tools for tracking — but nothing for thinking. Potluck changes that. Potluck is the team intelligence platform that turns the conversations that matter into coordinated missions — with outcomes in hours, not more meetings. HOW IT WORKS 1. FRAME (~3 min) Shape a problem, idea, or decision with guidance from Potluck’s AI. A time-boxed invite goes out with clear context and questions calibrated for your team. 2. THINK (~10 min per person) No calendar battles. Your team contributes asynchronously — on their own time, when they’re ready to do their best thinking. Real teamwork in minutes, not meetings. 3. SYNTHESIZE (automatic) Not another recording. Not another transcript. Potluck’s AI finds signal in the noise — capturing themes, assumptions, and insights across every response. 4. OUTCOME (day 3 — done) A short burst of focused teamwork replaces unnecessary meetings and makes the important ones more effective. Better thinking in, better outcomes out. WHAT TEAMS WANT LESS OF → Meetings that everyone silently dreads but nobody cancels → Decisions that take weeks (or months) and still feel unclear → More tools for talking that just create more noise → Recordings of meetings that weren’t needed in the first place WHAT TEAMS WANT MORE OF → Teamwork that happens in minutes, NOT meetings — on your schedule → Space to share your best thinking when you’re actually ready → AI that guides the process, not just records it → Sessions that end with outcomes, not “let’s circle back” Meetings just lost their monopoly. Smart teams are making the shift. Start your first session in minutes.
