Amie grabbed $7 million for its opinionated calendar and todo app
Summary

Many people already use their calendar as a sort of todo app so they dont forget about things they have to do.Amie supports that use case natively and even encourages you to work this way. But thats the right approach if youre building an app that competes with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar.There are also social and multiplayer components to Amie. Its also a good way to see if someone is available or busy in real time.Amie lets you join an upcoming video call in a single click as well. The company first started with Spotify so that you can see what your co-workers are listening to.But Amie also has plans for more business-oriented integrations with products like GitHub, Stripe and Typeform.
