Hello Product Hunt! We’re excited to share with you today Kosy 2.0: a virtual space where remote teams can work better together. In the last 11 months since we released the beta version of Kosy, we had a lot of fun building and iterating on feedback. After over 500 user interviews, 1,000 chats, and 5,000+ survey responses, we are proud to be releasing the next version of Kosy to help remote teams all over the world work better together (did you know that teams in 127 different countries are using Kosy?!🌎). Given the magnitude of the shift that remote work brought to all of us, a lot of products have popped up over the last year. While we feel like the race is competitive, we feel confident about our differentiation: providing the most customisable virtual space while focusing on features that improve collaboration & communication to help drive better results. Over the last year, we’ve been working hard on Kosy and are excited to put it in your hands today! Our product & key features 🤝 Collaborate better together: Create rooms for specific projects, sprints, or recurring meetings. Pin documents or files to rooms, so they are readily available whenever you enter the room. 🎉 Feel like a team again: Co-work side by side as if you were in the same room. See what your colleagues are up to, what they are working on, and if they are free to catch up. ⚡️ Tap someone on the shoulder: Bring back spontaneous conversations by “walking up” to someone to chat. It’s that simple. Small videos reduce the “meeting fatigue” of traditional video conferencing. 👩‍🎨 Customise your space: Build a space that reflects your team’s culture and personality. Replicate a physical office of your own, or build something new entirely. 🥳 Have some fun together: Listen to music together (our focus playlist is quite the hit), play games, walk the office pet, and more! Types of teams using Kosy ⚡️ Startups: Achieve results faster by bringing your team, freelancers and tools together 🎖 Agencies: Provide the best client deliverables with better internal collaboration and visibility ⭐️ Customer success: Deliver the best customer service and speed up resolution times 🤑 Sales teams: Bring reps together to drive faster revenue growth and build deeper relationships with the customer base 🚀 Product teams: Build better products by iterating faster & creating a level playing field Our team Fun fact: Our team is still fully-remote, distributed all over Europe. Since we launched, we conducted a few team events in London, Antwerp, and Bruges. My co-founder and I @sammeurs met over Reddit at the beginning of the pandemic! Kosy has two tiers. A free tier for teams of up to 5 and a pro tier is for larger teams — for $10 per user per month if billed annually ($12 if billed monthly) your remote team can have access to unlimited rooms, guests, and minutes. You also have a 7-day free trial on all plans if you ever reach more than 5 users. You can download the Kosy desktop app or use it on the web and not have to download anything! We’re excited to keep improving Kosy with all of you and as always, we are open to any feature request or feedback on the product. The Kosy team!

@sammeurs @yanismellata I love the name! Congrats on the launch. The tools seems to provide a very collaborative environment for remote teams.
Oleg Sergeykin
Kosy Office, especially in its new version, definitely provides much more fun and engaging collaboration environment in your remote team as compared to conventional Zoom meetings. The tool is also very intuitive - this makes it easy to onboard your employees.

I see some great improvements in your second version in things like multiple screenshares, desktop app, integrations, chats and channels.
Sam Meurs
@olegsergeykin glad you like our evolution! We've been working hard adding features that the community was asking for, and we've got more coming up where that came from in the next few months :D

I’ve used the product onced and it was fun. (Reminded me of playing Pokémon on the Gameboy — a game I loved). It felt a bit much to adopt for our company though. We have two weekly coworking sessions, that’s all. I don’t want our remote workers to spend a lot of time in a virtual office. Only sometimes.
Sam Meurs
@richardpoelderl Thanks Richard, coworking is definitely one of the use-cases we see on Kosy. Spot on! 👌 Personally in our dev team we have a daily coworking slot of about an hour, directly following our stand-up. I feel like a lot of the value we get from Kosy ourselves happens during this tiem. Aside from that we use it for chat and a lot of (ad-hoc & regular) meetings so we just end up spending a lot of time there because it's ended up being our go-to communication platform. It's working super well for us, I hope you'll give it another go, we could always use more feedback as we continue to improve. Either way, thanks so much for trying us out earlier & checking in! 🤙
Yanis Mellata
@richardpoelderl Starting slow is a good way to go! A few sessions a week until you find what works best for your team. We really see a large distribution in terms of usage - certain teams use Kosy 2-4 hours a week, others 8 hours a day! Thanks for the feedback Richard!
