Jalapeño for founders and operators
Investor calls, sales calls, hiring loops, board updates. Every meeting produces follow-up. Jalapeño captures it without you taking notes.
How founders and operators use Jalapeño
A founder's calendar is a different shape than a manager's. The meetings are higher-stakes, the cast rotates constantly, and you can't bring a note-taker into half of them. Investor pitch, follow-up call with the lead, sales conversation with a prospect, hiring loop for a senior role, board prep, partner intro. Six conversations in a day, and the cost of forgetting a single commitment is much higher than the cost of forgetting a sprint planning detail.
Jalapeño just records and processes everything in the background. Connect your calendar once and it shows up to every meeting on every platform (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, in-person via the app). After each call, you get a transcript, a summary, and a clean list of follow-ups with owners and due dates. The whole thing takes seconds of your attention rather than the twenty minutes it used to take to reconstruct what you committed to.
Carlton, the AI assistant inside the workspace, becomes the operating layer over your meeting history. Ask it what you promised the investor at Sequoia last week, what the candidate from the on-site mentioned about their start date, or which action items from the board meeting are still open. It answers against the real underlying data.
Features that matter most for founders
Auto-join across Google Calendar and Outlook
Connect once. Jalapeño joins every meeting on your calendar (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) without you remembering to add a bot or share a link. In-person meetings record directly from the app. You stop having to set it up; it just shows up.
Quick action capture, no manual review
The AI does the work. Action items extracted from each meeting come with an inferred owner, due date, and priority. Review them in under a minute, edit if needed, move on. You don't sit down at 7pm reconstructing what you owe the prospect from the morning call.

Sync to whatever tool the company runs on
Linear, Jira, Asana, Trello: bi-directional sync with all four. If your team is small enough to share one tool, action items land there. If different teams run different tools, route them per-meeting. Slack handles notifications inside the threads everyone already lives in.
Carlton, your context across every meeting
Carlton has read access to every meeting and action in your workspace. Ask it 'what did we promise the investor at Sequoia last week,' 'what is open from the partner intro,' or 'show me everything from the hiring loop this month.' Answers are grounded in the real underlying data, not invented.

What changes after a week
You stop coming out of investor calls anxious about which detail you might have missed. The transcript is there, the summary is there, the follow-ups are pre-extracted. You go from the call straight to the next thing instead of spending twenty minutes typing notes into Notion.
Within a few days, Carlton becomes a habit. Before any meeting where context matters (a follow-up call, a board prep, a renewal pitch) you ask it what you last talked about with this person. The answer is grounded in the actual transcript rather than your best guess.
By the end of the week, the operational drag of running every conversation drops noticeably. The follow-ups land where they should land. Nothing gets dropped because you were too busy to write it down. Your calendar gets a little less expensive in attention.
