Gridspace Announces Memo M1, the First Tabletop Device for Real-time Conversation Analysis
Startup is now taking reservations for its device and companion service.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (March 3, 2014) - Gridspace announces Memo M1, a revolutionary device for
real-time conversation analysis. Gridspace’s breakthrough technology automatically saves, indexes, and
interprets meeting conversations.
“True collaboration and discovery cannot happen when colleagues are splitting their attention between a
conversation and record-keeping,” said Gridspace CEO Evan Macmillan. “Gridspace aims to eliminate
that distraction and empower natural conversation with technology.”
The Gridspace service integrates meetings more deeply into team workflows so that teams can drive
projects to completion faster. The Memo M1 is simply placed in a conference room, and the device is
ready to records meetings and send notes to attendees.
The service:
Saves the conversation – Gridspace uses cutting-edge machine learning to capture and attribute
everything that is shared in a meeting. The service maintains a clear record of everything discussed, from
small project details to big insights. It also securely captures meeting attendees and a catalog of
supporting documents used in conversation. Gridspace associates presentations and photos with
meetings. Bank-level security keeps meetings safe and private.
Searches and shares – Gridspace makes it easy to search and share the contents of any conversation
by using speech-to-text technologies. People can search across multiple meetings for names, dates, and
meeting content. Professionals can share Gridspace Memo meetings with participants and colleagues.
Suggests highlights – Gridspace moves knowledge quickly so that professionals know what to do next.
Immediately after a meeting, Gridspace recognizes conversation patterns to pull out recommended
action items and highlights.
Gridspace is also taking reservations for its mobile application, which allows users to record smaller
groups, university classes, and lunch meetings on the go.
“While our email conversations are captured and easy to search, we don’t have that dependable
coverage for conversations,” said co-founder Anthony Scodary. “We lose most of the information shared
in face-to-face discussions. With Gridspace, you no longer need to rely on ad hoc methods for tracking
and sharing the content of meetings.”
“Invisible interfaces are simplifying our relationship with consumer products. We think that what invisible
interfaces will do for the enterprise is even more signif icant,” said Macmillan.
The Gridspace Memo M1 device and Gridspace Memo mobile application will first be made available to
clients who place a reservation at www.gridspace.com
