No more “okay, hold on one sec, I’m paaaastiiiing the link here in the chat… Can everybody see it?” You just open the link in the space, and everyone sees it immediately.įinally, it’s a more natural way of collaborating. We believe that opening all your apps in the same space as your meeting is a much more natural way of working, eliminating what we call “Cmd + Tab fatigue.” A layer more attached to the people doing work and what they’re trying to accomplish-than which specific app they’re in. There is some mix of presence, collaboration, coordination, and identity that should be ubiquitous across whatever apps are being used. A layer for things that should be shared across the apps as well collaborative functionality across them. We aim to be the “meta-coordination layer” that Kevin Kwok wrote about in The Arc of Collaboration: There is a need for a layer across all the applications. Now, don’t tell anyone, but that’s kind of our world domination plan right there. A universal embed app, letting you open links to your applications like Trello, Figma or Google Docs.Teamflow lets you open apps in the space. So we think it’s only natural that you’d be able to open your work tools right where your meeting is happening. The real job-to-be-done of videoconferencing tool is to help people work together - and collaboration is much more than communication. But when you see your coworkers’ face in the same space as you, it feels natural to drag yourself over and say hi. On their first day at work, nobody is going to click on a list of names on Slack just to introduce themselves. This is hardly a unique experience - people underestimate how jarring it can be to start a new job at a remote company. One of our customers’ new hires told me that it’s only when they started using Teamflow, a full 4 weeks after he onboarded, that he met some of his coworkers for the first time - and that’s with a company of only 25 people. We were skeptical at first, but after more than 50,000 hours of meetings on Teamflow, we’ve seen spatiality deliver on its promise. We had to become experts at it for our very survival - our sensorimotor skills are so good that roboticists talk of “ Moravec’s Paradox” to designate the fact that AI was kicking our world champions’ butts at chess as early as in the 90s, but it still can’t do things like driving, which any teenager can learn. In short, space comes intuitively to people. John Palmer’s essay on spatial interfaces is what inspired us to make space core to Teamflow. Please keep this field blank Spatial Interface
