@dansiepen thanks Dan. It’s lovely feedback like this that makes us all do a little happy dance 💃
There is no better time to launch virtual space ever!
To be honest I can't wait to spend meeting sitting on that adorable duck!
@anastasiia_chumak I’m with you Anastasia, duckie is also one of my favourite seats 🦆.
P.S - if you also like unicorns you’re in for a treat 🦄
Good luck! Nice to see more products for a modern hybrid work, not only for a current meeting platforms like Sembly Personal, but also for entertainment like a Thursday and now a new meeting platforms itself.
It's curious how no one mentioned https://www.gather.town/
How do you differentiate from them? Kosy seems les "geeky" from what I've seen
I’m excited about this new type of service, but how does Kosy differ from existing ones? ?makers
hi @anna_0x ! great topic.
There are indeed a few virtual spaces that have launched in the last year-ish each with a unique experience. The problem we are all trying to tackle is massive: remote teams need a better way to interact and build camaraderie and there needs to be a better solution than jumping between Zoom & Slack. What we heard from speaking with many users is that given how big of a portion a virtual office takes within ones work day, the user experience needs to work with how they work and culture. Some teams prefer more gamified online experiences while other teams prefer more productive tools / desktop apps. Back when we started Kosy we were focused too heavily on the productivity side of the spectrum, offering one-click chats and breakout rooms. Now, based on feedback we’ve been receiving, we are balancing fun with productivity which so far we have gotten very positive feedback on. Would love for you to try it out and let us know what you think 😊
@henri_st_pierre nice, is there a way to invite external collaborators, e.g. clients, without requiring them to create an account and log in?
A really nice in between where we are now and the inevitable metaverse. Congrats on the launch and number one on Product Hunt 🎉
@eliezer_steinbock1 Thanks Ellie! We are currently working on building more interactive experiences on the floor (e.g., an announcement wall, co-working team rooms with music, customisable avatars). We are also planning more app and workflow integrations as well as UX updates (improved chat, people search).
Is there anything you'd suggest?
@john_faig good question - you are right there have been several similar products that have launched recently. Spatial audio is becoming a new standard way of chatting. We're working on striking a right balance between playful and productive that we think will appeal to a majority of teams, but each team is unique and may prefer an alternative. We also believe the winners in this space will be those that succeed at building the right workflow integrations. Kosy is more than an event space - we have to deliver value at the individual and day-to-day level as well.
@henri_st_pierre 100%. Workflow and collaboration techniques/tools will be differentiators. Vertical market extensions will also help. For example, the K12 use case requires more group management and more granular privileges than higher education or working professionals.
I really like the idea and the design looks great! Congrats on your launch @yanismellata @sam_meurs1 and the team :)
@yanismellata @sam_meurs1 @benjamin_grandfond2 thanks Benjamin. Yanis & Sam have indeed been absolutely amazing ❤️❤️
@zan_cmeresek thanks Zan! We intend to keep on pushing out some great features. Watch this space 👀
@michaelwmarra hi Michael - kumospace looks great as well! Their interactive objects are unique. A few others above asked about differentiation and I mentioned how this space is massive and new so we are just getting started. Spatial audio is becoming a new standard way of communicating. Each of the products similar to Kosy has a unique angle to their experience - we believe we strike the right balance between productive and fun. For example, we are prioritising workflow integrations and apps quite heavily. Our Miro and Google Suite integration has been quite well regarded by our users.
Congrats on the launch! Great product. Would be interesting to think of some kind of native desktop app down the line in order to do more seamless silent/active transitions (like in the menu bar or keyboard shortcuts for example).
@kenpeltzer hey Ken. Thanks for the kind words ❤️. Desktop app and keyboard commands are definitely something we’re discussing 🔥🔥
