How can we keep connected when working remotely?
A lot of your rituals need work when you don't share the same physical space. The Watercooler Bot helps you with a core quality: the serendipity that makes meeting fellow humans so valuable.
Can you prevent a team from falling apart into small groups of 'favorite colleagues'?
When remote meetings block your calendar, it's easy to feel there is little room to connect to others, so we reach out to those closest to us. The Watercooler Bot doesn't comply – like the office coffee machine, it will make new connections, and bring together everyone in the team.
Is this complicated? It sounds like a lot of work.
Building a team is a lot of work. Connecting individuals is only a small step, but having a Watercooler Bot will definitely help a little bit, day over day, week over week. And the time investment is less than you think.
The Watercooler Bot is a really helpful addition to our shared rituals. It might sound a bit silly at first, but now the team wouldn't want to miss it.
