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 the video calls on it (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams), with in-person meetings recorded 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.
Extracted follow-ups arrive in a compact review queue. Check the proposed owner, due date, and priority, edit anything the conversation left ambiguous, and confirm only the work you want to send to the team.
Features that matter most for founders
Auto-join across Google Calendar and Outlook
Connect once and turn on auto-join. Jalapeño joins the Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams calls on your calendar without you remembering to add a bot or share a link, and you can toggle it off for any meeting. In-person meetings record directly from the app. You stop having to set it up; it just shows up.
Quick action capture, with human review
Action items extracted from each meeting come with a proposed owner, due date, and priority, staged as suggestions. Review, edit, confirm, or dismiss them in one queue, then move on without reconstructing the morning call from memory.
Cover QA pass after the deploy
Ready for your review
Sync to whatever tool the company runs on
Action items land in Linear, Jira, or Asana. Linear and Jira sync status both ways through webhooks; Asana is a one-way push for creating and completing tasks. Slack posts notifications, overdue nudges, and a daily digest to the channel everyone already watches.
Keep the final say on every follow-up
Every extracted action waits for your review with a proposed title, assignee, due date, and priority. Edit, confirm, or dismiss it in one place. Nothing syncs to a project tool or notifies an assignee until you confirm it.

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, the review queue becomes a habit. Before moving to the next call, you scan the proposed follow-ups, correct any details, confirm the work that matters, and dismiss the rest. Only approved items become tracked work in Jalapeño or sync to an external tool.
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.
