  • Rumi's AI Feed curates in-meeting summaries, pinpoints action items, delivers relevant commentary
  • Rumi empowers professionals to concentrate on the essence of their discussions

Renowned for reshaping the blockchain identity verification landscape by co-founding Civic, and influencing the direction of top cryptocurrency investments at Multicoin Capital, Vinny Lingham is now championing the evolution of digital collaboration, Bankless Times learned from a press release.

A promising underdog

Transitioning from its origins as Waitroom, Lingham's latest venture, Rumi combines AI-enhanced features and dedication to privacy, aiming to stand apart in the bustling video conferencing space dominated by giants like Zoom and Google Meet.

While many collaboration tools focus on mere efficiency, Rumi provides a more holistic experience. Its AI Feed curates in-meeting summaries, pinpoints action items, and delivers relevant commentary—in real-time and available in 20 languages. This synergy of AI and human interaction empowers professionals to concentrate on the essence of their discussions, with the AI serving as a sophisticated assistant.

Users have the final say

Lingham's roots in advocating for the decentralized ethos of blockchain are evident in Rumi's approach to privacy. The "off the record" feature ensures that users have the ultimate say in how and when the AI engages, even allowing for a pause during sensitive segments of discussions. In Rumi, while the AI is advanced, the control belongs to the user.

In a world of digital-first communications, post-meeting follow-ups often determine the efficiency and outcome of a meeting. Attendees can not only review their discussions effortlessly but can also dive into critical segments with a mere click on the AI Feed. Enhancing this offering, Rumi emails the AI Feed summary to all attendees, ensuring total transparency and inclusivity.

Vinny Lingham commented:

The crypto industry ingrained in me a respect for the harmonisation of cutting-edge tech with user-centric values. With Rumi, we're channelling those principles into AI video conferencing. We're not just trying to match the industry leaders; we're forging our own path, inspired by the same boundary-pushing spirit that drives the crypto world.

As the momentum for remote work and virtual collaborations intensifies, platforms such as Rumi, which integrate advanced technology and cater meticulously to user needs, stand at the forefront of redefining the future landscape of business communication.
