@hunterwalk – thanks for the thoughtful and warm intro there! Team Assembly (the Assemblers of Assembly) has been and is working extremely hard to get this out and available for everyone to use! I'll spare writing a ton more about the product as I think Hunter did a great job as well as our design and marketing team to get this Product Hunt ready to a point that more explanation will likely be more a drag than it is helpful. With that said, we're looking for cold-hearted nitpicky feedback. Things that while you try to play around, fail to delight you so that we can add them to our list and delight you in the future (if you stick around to let us!). Alright, tear into us (feel free to leave some love too if you get a bit of inspo)!

Assembly is an all-in-one performance management, employee engagement, productivity, and recognition platform. It looks to empower individuals, team leads, managers, and executives on their journey to optimize their day and make work more meaningful. Assembly makes it seamless to bring together tasks, teams, and conversations. The key features that help save time and make work easier are: Slack and MS Teams integration: Assembly easily connects to Slack [https://slack.com/apps/ASHPHG077...] and MS Teams [https://appsource.microsoft.com/...] so employees can show peer-to-peer appreciation directly from there, without any disruptions to their communication process. Automation and scheduling: Any task can be automated and scheduled in 3 easy steps: add people who need to receive the information, schedule the message, and create the exact content you want to share. Fast, seamless, and saves time for everyone. Single source of truth: Use one tool for all communication and productivity tasks and create a single source of truth with rich and powerful insights that help optimize how you and your organization work. Complete customization: Customization couldn’t be easier with the new Assembly Flows. A user can customize everything from access to information to the type of responses you want to receive back.

I have been using flows on Assembly for ~2 months now for internal workflows such as running daily standups, conducting sprint retrospectives, recognizing my co-workers, conducting surveys, ice-breakers, and collecting feedback. The firsthand experience of using a product you develop as a user has been the most fulfilling aspect of my job here at Assembly. Assembly makes the availability of information easily accessible and the collection of information an engaging experience, which helps me unlock value that otherwise would have been cumbersome.

Assembly is built for the future. Can easily replace 5-6 bespoke solution with Assembly. Want it easily change a configuration or customize a process or workflow on your own without IT. That’s Assembly!

Must have for every workplace! With the many many integration options, and by having carefully thought out solutions for so many scenarios at the workplace, this is just EPIC!

Looks good! How do we make this work with multiple ventures at the same time? is there a restriction / permission module?

Assembly is the company of Dreams ! The culture and the team is awesome .

Been using via work for a month or so - I can't wait for more giftcard options! ?makers need Lyft and more restaurants!!

Have been using Flows for a few months and it's just such a breeze. Daily standup, recognition, 1:1s - all so easily to do, and finally to changing context.

Especially in the tech space, every team should be using flows. Keep everyone's daily standup updates in one place, stop sending your Sprint Retrospectives to the abyss of Confluence where nobody looks at them, ditch Google Docs for keeping separate notes and tracking progress for each of your 1:1s (it's just messy and no fun), and give your non-engineering/product teams a space to report bugs and feedback instead of scattered Slack messages and rogue Jira tickets. Start adding in recognition to your team's routine and keep things fun with icebreakers and daily questions. Reward each other financially for the big and little things that happen on a daily basis. And you do this all in one place! 🤯

An intuitive, mutually agreed upon digital productivity tool stack is the biggest challenge facing companies in today's world of distributed workforces. When there's limited or no in-person time, keeping track of notes of recurring conversations (be they a standup, commentary around a big project, performance reviews, or otherwise) is of the utmost importance to ensure your team is always up to speed and on the same page. As a designer / product manager, I use a complex digital tool stack to stay on top of cross-functional initiatives involving stakeholders with a breadth of technological comfort. These include: - Strategy Docs -- Google Docs + Figma - Dev Project Management -- Linear issues + Figma frames + Loom voiceovers 📈 - Non-Dev Project Management (Creative / Content / External) -- Google Docs / Slides / Sheets + Monday - Design Feedback -- Loom comments + Figma comments + Slack public channel comment threads + Slack DMs + live video calls + emails 💀 - Recurring Meetings (Digital Weekly, All Hands, etc) -- Google Docs + Sheets - 1:1 Notes + Performance Reviews -- Notion + Google Docs - General Communications -- Slack + Zoom + Meet The above productivity stack doesn't include all the tools I'm using to actually DO my job (Contentful + Shopify + Photoshop in addition to the above). It's not ideal, but different branches of the business have different digital tool preferences, and as a cross-functional player I've learned to be fluent in all of them. As I understand it, Assembly enables companies to easily structure and stay on top of their internal conversations. Every company has their own way of doing things, so their custom flows are awesome to ensure recurring check-ins (be they stand-ups, performance reviews, or feedback syncs) happen at the cadence and with the agenda beats relevant to you. Assembly also condenses most of my digital productivity stack into one place, meaning less brainpower devoted to remembering where I put threads of conversation and more time spent getting things done.

nice!

Great stuff!

Love this concept... I'm sick and tired of managing Outlook calendars for various ceremonies / processes! Classic case of Customer Problem -> SOLUTION! Awesome stuff. It's also clearly a complicated task to build this type of product... shout out to Assembly 2.0's product & dev team!

I've loved working to develop flows over the past few months as the Product Designer on the project (as well as being a user myself). Flows have really supercharged my 1:1's with @joshua_gunning -- before using flows, we'd run through a standard list of questions, and if we wanted to dive in-depth on a single topic, we blew right through our allotted time. Now, I answer the flow questions ahead of time, which leaves us ample room to deep dive on my growth and the growth of the product! All of that being said, we're always looking to improve and add more use cases!! I'd love to hear what you all think about Flows, where the UX is confusing or tricky, what new features would be beneficial, and where you think it really shines :D

Great concept @joshua_gunning - good application of automation principles within a specific niche in need. Mixing gamification and perkbox-like rewards. Great stuff.
