This is super clever — and a smart pivot. Imagine dropping a new feature update on your site, sending out email notifications, and then as your customers arrive, you can bring them into a live, external-facing all-hands style event — just like Clubhouse does with their townhalls! This is a great democratization of social audio!

Hey Product Hunt, We're excited to launch Space - Social Audio for Business, a frictionless way to engage users who are on your website over clubhouse-style social audio. The #1 reason why companies want to use Space is to get customer feedback for their SaaS products. The teams run casual office hours and customer-facing town halls where customers can join and engage with the team, building deep meaningful relationships along the way. Audio 🔉 doesn't have the friction that video does and it has a lot more emotion than text, making for more authentic interactions. So, if you want to have real conversations with your customers without taking them to another platform, then Space Audio for Business is for you. We also have a few 🚨 special announcements 🚨 - We're offering 75% off the annual Pro Plan for the Product Hunt community - the offer expires May 1st! ❇ - We're running the widget live on our website, hosting various speakers throughout the day. We have experts in community building, lobbying, public speaking, and more speaking throughout the day and showcasing the app. 🗣 - We’re giving away podcasting microphones, and unique high-quality space t-shirts to listeners in our sessions 🎁🎁🎁 🏆 How does it work? ❓ - You sign up for an account and get your widget code. - You embed the 3 lines on your site, on any pages you want the audio chat to show. - You use the Space dashboard to go live as the host. - Your visitors join directly from your website. - You manage the room, audience, and speakers from the dashboard. Thank you @chrismessina for hunting us! and thank you @lukethomas14 for being the first to ask for this! Is this really free? 🆓 Space - Social Audio for Business is available as beta today and is free. We'll officially release paid plans in July for premium features, however, we'll always have a free plan option. See the full line up and prizes here: https://www.joinspace.co/space-a... - you will be able to enter the prize giveaway by joining the audio chat when they go live. We'll be dropping updates here and on Twitter! We are excited for you to try it out and we look forward to your feedback; please leave a comment if you need help or have questions.

Very cool. Keeping people on your site instead of sending them to a different platform is really smart. One thought -- y'all should throw pricing on your site! But I could totally see making the case to my team to grab a pro membership.
Zeeshan Sheikh
@aaron_cohn Thanks Aaron! Adding pricing as we speak! We're building the ship as we ship it and would love for you to grab a pro membership.
Ryan Myher
I can see these being super popular for content creators doing merch drops (ex. Nelk) Excited to see where this goes!
Erik Israni
@ryan_myher Absolutely! New product drops, exclusive content, and member's only materials
Kieran Ball
Great work team, very clever and quick pivot.
Erik Israni
@kieranball Thanks Kieran! We took the feedback we received and built something better!
Jim Engine
Looks good. Congrats for this great product
Erik Israni
@officialexaking Thanks Jim! We are really looking forward to seeing all the amazing ways people are going to use Space to connect with their audiences.
Deep Kakkad
Democratization in this 'space' was necessary, and you are doing that! Are there any plans on letting users host this on your platform (for the ones who do not have a website of their own, but still want to do this. So, similar to what substack does for newsletters).
Zeeshan Sheikh
@dkakkad99 Thanks! And YES!! We actually do/did this already, and we're merging that with this - you'll see a mention of it on our main web page, the last item :) we use the same widget for pages/urls we host for you.
Craig Zingerline
I got to beta test an early version of this product and it's really, really powerful. It's a new way to think about connecting with your audience via live audio. Love it.
Erik Israni
@craigzingerline Thanks for the high praise Craig! Looking forward to our chat later today using the app!
Phil Jacobson
Looks fantastic!!

Zeeshan Sheikh
@samitpatel Thanks Samit!
Jeff Morris Jr.
Congrats on the release Zeeshan! Very excited for the team. Can you add this to the Chapter One site? :)
Zeeshan Sheikh
@jmj Thanks for your support Jeff! and yes we can!
Seshu Badrinath
Looks like just the think I've been looking for. How and where does one sign up and use the 7%% off annual pro plan and are we grandfathered in if we invest right away?
Zeeshan Sheikh
@seshu_badrinath you can sign up on joinspace.co, the get started link in the top right gets you access to the dashboard. The 75% off is for 2021, for being early, we'll likely offer some special renewal for those who signup now, but wont be at the same 75% off. To take advantage of the 75% off, you can use https://admin.typeform.com/form/...
Zeeshan Sheikh
It's been a fun day, and we still have more prizes to give away!! We already gave away a Blue Yeti and a couple of awesome t-shirts (check out the images). If you didn't get to join an audio session and get your entry in - you can use this direct link to enter the drawing https://f8ar1ay2vuy.typeform.com... We really want to give away this stuff!!! so enter!
JC Alvarez
Congrats to Zee and team on the launch! Y'all have been working tirelessly to build Space and it shows across the product and its mission. 🙌

This is a very interesting addition to Space! I have used Space before and this nice feature shows founders commitment to listen to creators and how they want to expand their community.
Mohammed Rafy
This is brilliant. Embedding the widget for audio conversation instead of text. Excited to see the Space grow.
Erik Israni
@rafyasarmatta We're excited too!
