This video was super eye-opening! I learned that using tools like Loom can really change how we share information-like how a meeting with 40 people seems big but a video with the same views can feel underwhelming. It's wild to think a single recorded video can be watched by anyone in the future, making it so much easier to learn from past discussions. Also, the idea that people can get comfortable with recording even when they feel awkward about it is so true! It pushes us to communicate better. Plus, the way Loom can create transcripts makes finding info way easier-it’s amazing to think we’ll soon be searching for specific moments in our videos! Such great insights!
The key moments in this video transcript are: 1. **Introduction to Loom**: The speaker discusses the importance of Loom as a business enablement tool for recording screens and creating asynchronous messages. Loom allows for easy sharing of recorded content without lag time (00:00-00:29). 2. **Scaling Content**: The speaker talks about how content can scale infinitely using tools like Loom, unlike in-person interactions or phone calls (00:29-01:50). 3. **Example of Sharing Internally**: The speaker shares an example of an internal meeting with 40-50 people and how using Loom for such meetings can be more efficient than traditional methods (01:50-03:00). 4. **Use Cases for Loom**: The discussion covers various use cases for Loom, including giving verbal feedback, creating summaries, and challenging perceptions about its effectiveness (03:00-04:38). 5. **Recording Tips**: The speaker emphasizes the importance of recording without overthinking and doing only one take to avoid unnecessary repetition (04:38-05:34). 6. **Async Communication**: The concept of using audio and video memos during asynchronous communication and the initial discomfort it may cause (05:34-06:55). 7. **Searchability of Loom Content**: The discussion about how to make Loom content searchable, mentioning future improvements in AI-based search (06:55-10:37). 8. **Using Notion for Organization**: How the speaker's team uses Notion databases to organize tasks and link them to Loom videos for easy reference (10:37-12:42). 9. **Workflow Recording for Delegation**: The recommendation to record workflow processes to improve delegation and the surprising simplicity of replicating tasks through pattern matching (12:42-14:19). via Harpa AI
Great to see Sam sharing his knowledge on here. I love remote-first company building, I've built 5 companies this way. But the challenge is it assumes a culture where people allocate time for content consumption. In my experience, unless you hire and build a culture from day 1 and reinforce it with leadership to spend 1-2 hours per day just on consumption of internal company information, it doesn't get done. And this is easier said than done to find people who are both willing to adapt this culture and have the skills you're hiring for, especially if you require very specialized experts (AI, FinTech, BioTech) where there are varied preferences. We like in-person 2-3 times per month because it's effectively forcing the dialogue, and human interaction is a favorable "break" from the day to day grueling deep work.
What's fascinating about this is that's it not about tools. It's about creating a new work culture of asynchronous, fully transparant work and extreme standardization of non-creative tasks. You could build a BridgeWater challenger like that with global talent.
Very interesting interview thank you Tim. I love discovering tools that improve productivity and bring you to a next level ! One tool I really appreciate is Leexi, it records my meetings, summaries, and I can enrich my CRM with the information discussed in the call The future of meeting is here
Is Sam an investor in Loom? The tool is fine, but screen recordings have been around forever. In my experience, having a work tracking systems (e.g. Notion, Asana, etc.) is way more impactful for a business (assuming they're adopted).
A guy named Adam Sand mentioned Loom at a Roofing conference in December three weeks before Covid hit. No one knew it yet but It literally was the key to Covid as a construction company.
one overlooked aspect to all these tools is their security. if you are operating in any sort of senstive environment or even start up with innovative IP Id be very careful about what tools you use and question carefully their treatment of cyber security. the chickens will come home to roost with these platforms, its not a matter of if but when.
The weird thing is that zoom could have built this into their product so easily already. Recording is easy but just the things on top of the recording that makes loom better
Does Loom host videos on their US servers? If so, UK and EU organisations might not be able to use it when recording screens that show personal data. The concept is sound and the same workflow can be constructed using secure tools such as OBS to record using a hotkey that goes straight to OneDrive. Azure has UK/ EU infrastructure.
Loom is dumb. Loom saves the creator time, but at the expense of everyone else. Text + images/gifs is far more efficient for the recipient - and there are far more recipients. It’s the same with audio messages. Efficient for the sender, time-consuming and annoying for the recipient.
@@hcf797 only notion, its saving me to repeat my learnings.. my all learning is in one place now, its easy to revise, alsio its easy to publish markdown in my wordpress blog.. saving time, and organizing my life!

Damn this is useful

I am enraptured by these clips every time. Keep em coming Tim!
Loom and notion. Thanks.

Loom and notion is an amazing combo
I may have just signed away my digital rights to anything, but I downloaded loom to give it a try.
So did l! Could not resist it

Mike Cannon-Brookes: 'hmmm, Loom, let's buy that!'
With a Loom, using on the spot pondering, you can send it to colleuge and then can transcribe it using AI.

i just had zero use case for loom, but I feel like its pretty great
sounds like that kind of video data could later on be used to train AGI AI to do all that desktop work for the big companies
The weird thing is that zoom could have built this into their product so easily already. Recording is easy but just the things on top of the recording that makes loom better

The concept is sound and the same workflow can be constructed using secure tools such as OBS to record using a hotkey that goes straight to OneDrive. Azure has UK/ EU infrastructure.
That’s a great idea, and sounds better for privacy concerns
What would make look any better than using OBS
Fantastic intel! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Inside baseball question for creators, how do you get that little 'subscribe' animation with your profile right at the beginning of the video?
Tim will love to chat with me, it would be very stressful to cover that many apps.
Loom is dumb. Loom saves the creator time, but at the expense of everyone else.
Text + images/gifs is far more efficient for the recipient - and there are far more recipients.
It’s the same with audio messages. Efficient for the sender, time-consuming and annoying for the recipient.
I'm not a software developer so notion is just another wiki
Please can someone explain what an EA is?
Executive Assistant
Pair programming is not one person watching another code
Loom isnt all that. I replicated loom in slack for basically free
Do you have a "How to" for us?
Maybe share a loom of that process@@Oliver-tb7ry
What's an EA?
Executive Assistant
Loom advert 😢
Are they both seating cross legged? 😳.. hmm I wish I could 😩.. but aside from that, 👌🏾
Just takes practice. Start by sitting cross legged for 1 minute. Next day add a minute. Do this for a month and you can sit cross legged
Oh Tim’s out of money.
It sounds like you have reasons to say that
notion and chatgpt has changed my life in 3 months!
How so? How are you combining the two?
@@hcf797 only notion, its saving me to repeat my learnings.. my all learning is in one place now, its easy to revise, alsio its easy to publish markdown in my wordpress blog.. saving time, and organizing my life!
What's notion?
@@28goldenboy its note taking app somepeople call it second brain its better way organising your learnings/notes,, ideas google it..
@@28goldenboyyou'd best find out by looking up videos explaining what it is. It had changed my work life, made it much easier to be organized.
Both you guys sitting like the yoga emoji is a little much. We get it
