👋 Hey PH!

I’m Vish, co-founder and CEO of SoWork.

Since our first launch 2 years ago, we’ve rebuilt SoWork from the ground up, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you. Here are some of the key upgrades we've made:

⚡️ Supercharged performance
🎨 A totally redesigned UI/UX

✨ AI for your meetings

🧱 Laid the foundation for some coming AI things 👀

📊 Analytics to help you really understand your remote team
📱 Game world in the mobile app (IT'S SO COOL Y'ALL)
🕹️ Built-in games for connection

🎨 Thousands more avatar and office customization options
🤙🏽 Dozens of upgrades driven by user feedback

If you don’t know us yet, SoWork is the virtual HQ for remote teams. Think: spatial video, async collab tools, and AI productivity tools built-in, all designed to make teamwork feel as natural and spontaneous as being together in real life.

Our users told us what was and wasn’t working. So we went heads down and built what they asked for, so we could close basically ALL the gaps that SoWork 1.0 had (and there were lots!).

If you’ve ever felt disconnected working remotely, or tired of hopping between Zoom, Slack, and your calendar just to talk to your team and ship stuff, SoWork might be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

If you use a competitor, I bet you will enjoy us more. You can talk to us every day if you want right inside the app, you can ask for things, and you can enjoy our friendlier service, better performance/features, and better pricing as well. As a courtesy, we'll also rebuild your old office in SoWork if you want. Come see!


We’d love your feedback, questions, and support today in this launch 💛

Thank you for being part of this!! 🙏

@vishyvish This looks like the perfect solution for remote work fatigue - love how it brings back those spontaneous office moments while eliminating the constant app-switching chaos! 🏠✨

Abdul Rehman

This feels like the next level of remote work 🙌 Does the AI help with meeting summaries and action items too, or mainly scheduling?

Ana Marí Aznar

@abod_rehman Yep! Our AI handles summaries + action items for you and your team, so you can stay super focused on meetings, and it stores them in your library for easy access later :)

Metinu

@abod_rehman oh yes it does! That's actually one of its main purposes, I can go back aas far as I want in our meeting summaries library and instantly recall what we talked about and when 🙂

Here’s a real screenshot from my app right now

Vinay Punwani

@abod_rehman Also helps with summarization and action items :)

The action items are added to the bottom of the summary.

Yanay Tsabary

I want to have a team just so we can use this 😅 Looks awesome

Dani Sanchez

@tsabary Yo can also visit our Open SoWork Office to say Hi and talk to us! ❤️

Yanay Tsabary

@dani_sanchez2 I'll stop by and bring donuts:)

Vishal Punwani

@dani_sanchez2  @tsabary I get some too plz 🤤

Metinu

@tsabary You know what builds teams better than anything? Game jams and hackathons! We’d like to host one in a public SoWork space some day soon, so people from different communities and skill sets get to know ech other

Yanay Tsabary

@metinu I've added a follow on X/LinkedIn to know when it happens :)

Metinu

I’m so proud of what the team built here! Best productivity software on the market 👌 If I had to highlight one feature, it's the ability to host and organize work for very large teams, dozens or even hundreds of people, with lightweight performance. The customization options for maps and avatars are endless and very easy. It’s like a supercharged, user-friendly Slack, or a Microsoft Teams replacement that doesn’t drain your every day energy 😝 I can’t imagine remote work without this app

Vishal Punwani

@metinu you da man 😍

Jason

Wow, SoWork looks like it could truly transform remote work into something fun and seamless! Loving the AI meeting summaries and spatial video calls. Wishing the team a super successful launch!

Vishal Punwani

@jason123 you rock man - that’s the plan! If you ever get a chance to try it out, let me know and we will build your team something special 🥰

Jaber Jaber

Vishal Punwani

@jaber23 HAH yes, let us know who wins 🤣💥

Odeth N
This feels like the remote work setup I’ve been waiting for. Love how it brings back that ‘in-office’ vibe without the commute. Congratulations to team SoWork!
Dani Sanchez

@odeth_negapatan1 Thanks so much for your comment! We love that WOW effect it has on people.

Van de Vouchy

Congrats! What are you doing to improve video call stability and performance to match or exceed those platforms?

Vishal Punwani

@vouchy Hey Van!

There's a bunch of infrastructure stuff we do under the hood to ensure that meetings connect snappy and fast. We also aim to cleanly separate our engine and video stack, and prioritize the right one appropriately in any given moment.

We get consistent feedback that we have the best video and audio quality among all competitors (apart from Zoom/Meet, which is about equal).

We also have much more planned and underway, including improving video call quality in low-bandwidth settings. :)

Happy to chat about this anytime, and thank you for the question!

Metinu

@vouchy  @vishyvish Also, @mark_liu_sophya implemented this feature that pauses video streaming for tiles outside the screen to optimize network usage

We also have audio-only mode to save bandwidth, especially cool when you’re on mobile data

Musa Molla

AI-powered meetings and virtual HQs that actually feel alive, this could really change how teams connect. What’s been the biggest hit with users?

Vishal Punwani

@musa_molla Hmmm, the quickness of having meetings when needed, the low CPU needs, and in general just feeling like you're working around your team! Those are some favorites :)

Stefan

Congrats!

Jesse Youngblood

@stepcha_cherkasov Thanks! The whole team worked so hard on this launch, we're delighted it's all finally live :)

Nivedita Mukherjee

The best virtual office platform enhancing productivity and collaboration remotely,highly recommended.

Vishal Punwani

@nivedita_mukherjee you’re welcome to try it with your team if you don’t already use us!

Dongnan

Just spun up a test office—honestly wild how smooth the new UI feels. The built-in games caught me off guard in the best way. Vish, curious: which upgrade was hardest to nail?

Vishal Punwani

@cyrusandrew Honestly the whole package is kinda delicate to get right. Has to be fun and playful without being unserious. The games have to be awesome without being TOO addicting, lol. It's all a balance!!

Suryansh7

looking awesome great work team :)

Pinaki Ghosh

GREAT information thank you

Vishal Punwani

@pinaki_ghosh very welcome Pinaki - please try it out with your team!!

Samder Khangarot

@SoWork It’s a virtual coworking space that actually feels like being together.

  • Virtual office that feels alive: avatars, spatial video, random hangouts.

  • Built-in AI assistant for meeting notes & action items.

  • Replaces Slack + Zoom with one hub.

  • Free plan, then $6–15/user/mo.

  • Top ratings (4.8+/5, NPS 92).

👀 Could improve: Learning curve for spatial layout + heavier on bandwidth.

Vishal Punwani

@samder thanks for the summary 🤣🤣🤣

Kin Chu

This virtual office platform streamlines remote teamwork well

Satabdi Mukherjee

Wow! Sowork has made my job easier by working remotely. I recommend each and every one to use it.

vivek sharma

SoWork’s 2023 glow-up is the remote work upgrade we’ve been waiting for, blazing-fast performance, sleek UI/UX, mobile apps that actually deliver, and playful touches like built-in games. Shaped by user feedback, built for modern teams.

@vivek_sharma_25 That's exactly right. Are you a current SoWorker? Please try it with your team!
