I love the idea of a desktop app, but don’t understand the monthly fee. What’s the advantage to me as a user to pay $10/month for the rest of my career.

Is it possible that you could figure out a one time price that lets me buy the software? I like the idea of improving my meetings, but try to minimize recurring fees.

Also the price/value seems wonky as I pay $10/month for office365 with a TB of cloud storage

Great remark. The recurring fee is mainly tied to the fact that the value you get from Hera should grow over time.

The more meeting notes you write into Hera, the more connected all your meetings will be and the more context Hera will be able to provide you in each meeting.

It's not like a one-time tool that you always use to do the same thing. I am not saying that we won't test one-time price at some point, but it's not in our short-term plans.

You're juggling a lot of stuff right now (congrats) but might suggest something like jetbrains' structure - $x gets me lifetime access to version X.

The notion of "well you will get value from it over time" isn't, imo, a great way to frame it. Even if your feature set doesn't grow, you have connections to external services, and they will have changes over time that you'll need to keep up with (auth protocol changes, etc). That takes attention and time and money. BUT... perhaps a "standalone" version that doesn't connect with asana/google/etc. might have a 'one time price'?

Another consideration is the goodwill this will create with your customers, increasing their tendency to promote you.

This matters more when your default mode is single-player than when your default mode is corporate buy-in.

I don’t understand what this means.

My meeting notes are just text files stored? It doesn’t seem to be doing anything extra over time and seems to just be client side processing so no long term external resources are required.

Your meeting notes are linked together if they are linked to the same "group of meetings" (that we call Streams). So that when you enter your "Weekly Product", Hera gives you a quick access to the outcomes (highlights, next actions) of the previous Weekly Product(s) meetings

Also, Hera tries to understand (nothing fancy or machine learning-related) what you do with your meetings. If you always use the same template of notes in meetings with a title "1o1 John - Bruno", Hera will suggest you to do it for you in the future.
