Project overview<\/h2>

Driftly is an early-stage startup helping distributed teams cut down on meetings. They had a working prototype but no clear product experience. We designed the end-to-end app \u2014 recording, sharing, and replying \u2014 for desktop and mobile, ready for their public beta.<\/p>

Project highlights<\/h3>

Recording starts in one click from anywhere on the desktop, with automatic transcripts, chapters, and AI summaries so viewers can skim a five-minute update in thirty seconds. Threaded video replies keep conversations together, and a focused inbox shows only what needs attention.<\/p>

Challenges<\/h3>

Many people feel awkward on camera. We designed a gentle recording experience with screen-only mode, a countdown, and easy retakes, and tested it with 40 beta users to tune every moment that caused hesitation.<\/p><\/div>
