SideSpeak Playbook helps organizations design better meetings by capturing the principles that define how they work best.

Instead of generating generic agendas, Playbook guides you through defining your organization's meeting philosophy, transforming those principles into practical rules, and creating agendas that align with your culture and goals. Every meeting is designed with purpose, evaluated against your standards, and continuously improved through structured feedback.

Whether you're planning a strategic planning session, leadership meeting, project review, or team stand-up, SideSpeak Playbook helps ensure every meeting reflects your organization's way of working—resulting in clearer objectives, stronger decisions, greater accountability, and better outcomes.

Built on your organization's principles.
Define your principles. Build your playbook. Improve every meeting.

Scheduling a meeting shouldn't require endless emails, text messages, or guessing what works for everyone. SidePlanner helps small groups collaborate on the best meeting time in one shared planning space, with automatic time zone conversion and optional multiple meeting choices.

Whether you're meeting with coworkers, clients, family, or friends, everyone can quickly respond, suggest alternatives, and stay informed through email, text, or browser notifications. Once the meeting is finalized, SidePlanner automatically becomes your meeting hub with a SideSpeak meeting link, calendar options, meeting purpose, and everything participants need in one place.

Spend less time scheduling and more time meeting.

Long documents can be overwhelming. Whether it's a contract, policy, research paper, or employee handbook, Get the Jist uses AI to quickly identify the key points and present them in a clear, easy-to-understand summary. You can also ask follow-up questions in plain English to explore the parts that matter most to you.

We built Get the Jist because important information shouldn't be buried in dozens of pages. Our goal is to help you understand complex documents faster, save time, and make more informed decisions with confidence.

SideSpeak Meeting Alerts makes it easy for clients, coworkers, friends, or family members to let you know when they’re ready to meet—without calling, texting, or emailing you first.  

Choose a meeting from your verified SideSpeak history and turn on alerts by text message, email, or both. When someone enters that meeting before you do, SideSpeak notifies you and provides a direct, one-click, link so you can join them right away.  

SideThink is your AI-powered thinking companion, available right inside SideSpeak. 

Choose a conversation mode and talk naturally as SideThink helps you brainstorm ideas, prepare for a meeting, evaluate decisions, or work through a challenge. When you’re finished, turn the conversation into a summary, key ideas, decisions, action items, or a ready-to-use agenda.

Access SideThink in the Premium Tools menu.

Productive meetings begin with the right people—not the longest invitation list. Learn how to identify who needs to participate in the live conversation, who can provide input beforehand, and who simply needs to receive the outcome afterward.

SideCircle by SideSpeak turns this approach into a simple, guided process. Define the meeting’s purpose, evaluate each person’s contribution, and build a focused Meeting Circle designed for clearer discussions, better decisions, and more thoughtful use of everyone’s time.

SideBar makes it easy to have a quick, private conversation with selected people during a larger online meeting. 

SideBar works alongside Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other meeting platforms. Your original meeting remains open while the private conversation takes place in a new browser tab, allowing everyone to return when the sidebar is finished.

Unlike a traditional breakout room, SideBar does not require control of the original meeting or assistance from its host. You decide who joins and when the conversation begins.
