the visuals are so cute! Thank you for the super detailed comment. Trying it out tonight. I have encountered multiple remote working tools but never thought of giving time to try one out. Most of my colleagues work from the office, but looking at the features here, the tool seems super fun. The website visuals describing each feature are so apt. Good luck!

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!

They are able to help almost all the needs of a tech startup from UI/UX design to customer support to HR, as well as product development (software engineers). All the best Yanis.

Hey there, I'm currently trying Kosy, like it a lot. Just wanted to report that I've been trying it on the web app, and now I want to download the desktop app as suggested initially. However, I can't find where to download it, looks like my only shot was when I created my workspace. Can you please provide directions? Thanks (and keep up the good work!)

I really don't miss the office, but a virtual one looks cool! :) Great idea, congrats on the launch.

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.

Congratulations on the launch! In an era of virtual meets and work, this is needed for better collaboration.

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.

Congratulations on the launch @yanismellata! Sounds more fun & engaging. Connecting teams on a deeper level is definitely required in a remote setting to push & iterate products faster.

We've been using Kosy at iFactor for months now and it's been a great simulation of the actual office. Highly recommended for remote teams (and not only). Plus the team is very responsive to feedback so feel free to get in contact with them for feedback!

@yanismellata @anna_walschaerts Congrats on the launch 👍

I see some great improvements in your second version in things like multiple screenshares, desktop app, integrations, chats and channels.

Gotta be honest: I was always a little sus on these kind of skeumorphic virtual offices. But the attention to detail in every aspect of the experience means I get a *lot* more productivity out of Kosy 2.0 than I did from other platforms. Nice job @yanismellata !

Hi guys, great product, tested it briefly, looking forward to deploy it with my mates. One quick question about a feature I'd love to see but couldn't find (or maybe I was just not looking deep enough to find it myself 😅): is there a way to shout out to everybody in the space? While it may create some noise for large teams, I find it very useful for a small team like ours (~10). It's kind of what you'd do when walking into a physical office in the morning, say "Hi!" to everybody (and saying goodbye when leaving for the pub at night). Thanks and keep pushing!

It's super entertaining and great for remote teams like ours! I wouldn't say it replaces our existing communication tools - but it's good to 'play the Sims' at work from time to time ;) Congrats with the new launch!

I adore Kosy. You need a better mobile app - this is what is keeping us from deploying to our full company

Congrats on the launch! Beautfiul tool also, as a full remote Marketing Manager, something like that it's always useful, thanks.

Great product, I also downloaded it and was listening to music on it, all alone, it feels like a real office.

Congrats on the launch 🔥 As a member of remote teams, I wish you would launch earlier, the remote work is much more convenient now

We've been using Kosy for about 10 months now and it's crazy the speed at which it's improving. I prefer this to any of the Zoom Hangout or Teams! Keep rocking!!!
