Ehsan's Growth Take

Atlassian paid $975M for Loom, and the Jira integration shows why. Attaching a 2-minute screen recording to a bug ticket communicates what 500 words of description cannot. The AI features — auto-titles, summaries, chapters — are nice but not transformative. The real value proposition remains the same as before AI: replacing a 30-minute meeting with a 3-minute video that 15 people can watch on their own schedule. The math is simple: 15 people x 30 minutes = 7.5 hours saved per video. At $12.50/user/mo, Loom pays for itself with one video per week.
