👋 Howdy y’all! Jumana here, CEO/Chief Instigator @ zanie. The rest of the team & I are super excited to show you what we’ve been working on! At her core, zanie is a conversational curator. Designed & developed with the intent of mimicking IRL interaction principles, and our patent-protected, 4D engagement model, zanie catalyzes teams to engage in respectful & insightful dialogue designed to foster rapport and camaraderie. (more on that here: https://zanie.app/#scroll-science) With teams more likely than ever to work remotely, in isolation, its evermore important to cultivate a work culture of authenticity, inclusion, and diversity. Here’s how it works: 1. Install zanie to your Slack workspace 2. Set-up your teams manually in the zanie DM, or have zanie automate invites across the organization 3. Once a week, zanie asks team members a dynamic, thought-provoking question to get them talking 4. When team members respond, zanie creates a private discussion channel for the week so they can respond to each other’s answers, follow their curiosity, dive deeper, and let the chat unfold organically Other sweet features: * Onboarding to get everyone on the same page * Lightning round to break the ice * Customizable shuffle function so team members can mix it up * Catch-up capability for new members * User-friendly dashboard to track team participation * Privacy and security baked in -- all data is encrypted and all personally identifiable data is anonymized With help from zanie, employees learn about themselves and each other, learn to trust one another, and learn to work better together. It’s good for the bottom line, and it’s good for humanity.

@jumana_abu_ghazaleh Hi, friends! Lyssa here--writer and Conversation Engineer for this amazing tool. I host a podcast for zanie called What's Betwixt Us, all about empathy at work. (We're on Spotify, Apple, and many more. Check it out here: https://anchor.fm/whats-betwixt-us) If you work in the space of work culture, trust-building, HR, or you're a junkie for signal boosting empathy in this world, we'd love to have you as a guest!

A sample zanie question to get your brain working today: Where in the world would you love to go off-roading? I'll jump in first: take me to the Amazonian jungle; I want to hear the calls of a million birds and insects!
