Traditional calls and meetings monopolize your time and require endless scheduling. Yac is personal, asynchronous communication built for remote teams.
Hey everyone, we are super excited to FINALLY launch Yac out of Early Access.
It's been a long year for us, heads down, focused on the product, but with the recent events, we feel it's time we let everyone experience what Yac can do for their team. Here's a couple of ways it's changed our lives.
📵No more meetings or phone calls. We do all our voice communication async now.
⏳We respect each other's time more now and let people have their time to focus.
✅There are a lot less ambiguous tasks and feedback now. Voice + Media is killer.
📱We don't feel so tied down to our laptops anymore. The mobile app was a great addition.
❤️Our team is building stronger personal connections and emotions are kept in check.
We wouldn't be here without Product Hunt so we are excited for this to be the first place we announce our new domain at Yac.com as well as our completely redesigned brand. Please let us know what you think in the comments, and look out later today for a few giveaways featuring lifetime Yac Pro licenses and Airpods Pro!
P.S.
Our very first Pro feature is Private Teams. You'll see it pop up in your dashboards this week. A common request from our power users the ability to invite clients or customers they needed to talk to, but they didn't want to see each other. Private teams are great for Clients, Departments, or Freelancers.
@jmitch@arosenfee Hey Alex, appreciate you reaching out!
I used to love Voxer when it first took off! People who make the switch tell us that Yac is more reliable, better speed controls, and prefer the UI/UX.
I’m currently working on a comparison page I’d love to share with you as soon as it’s ready to dive even deeper!
@jmitch@huntermoonshot Thanks, Hunter. Yes, I'd be very curious to see the comparison page. Have you guys considered integrating into Slack, too? It would be great to have asynchronous voice message capabilities within Slack and they clearly have dropped the ball on building it themselves. This is one company that I'm aware of...https://d.pr/rLtWcL.
@jmitch@arosenfee Yes! We will have the integration by mid April!
Voice messaging is catching fire in enterprise so we’re hoping to work closely with folks like Slack to make the transition seamless 😄
@alexanderisora Awesome! Yeah we have a little blog explaining what we are doing and why. We've just disabled billing for now to help everyone ease into this.
@huntermoonshot thanks. Yeah, that SEO course definitely worth watching. I was happy to watch all of their videos and created detailed outlines, but I lost it lol :(
As a Product Manager working with a team of 50+ distributed individuals, I had to take a lot of calls. Yac reduced around 90% of the calls we were taking as a team and have resulted in more productivity in each department.
Congrats on building one of my favorite remote tools, @jmitch@jordvnlwalker@huntermoonshot 💛
I’ve been following Yac for awhile and really excited to see where the product goes. It’s a great time to be in remote work this will empower a lot of remote teams to work better
Super excited to finally share this special moment with the Product Hunt community!
It's been a long time coming, but it is officially available for download. Our team has worked relentlessly over the last year to make it be the best possible. So far we have seen folks use Yac to -
1. Stay out of meetings - Teams are cutting down drastically on meeting time. Instead of wasting time on phone calls all day, people are actually getting work done.
2. Collaborate across different time zones - It's no secret teams have spread across all different continents and time zones these days. Finding common time for a phone call can be hard. Why not just do it asynchronously and not waste time trying to schedule a call?
3. Invite LESS noise into their team - Given the nature of current tools and chat apps it's very easy to get carried away and spam 200+ messages in an instant. Frankly, that's just the nature of text. However, when using voice, folks tend to be more thoughtful bringing a sense of calm back to their team.
I could go on forever, but I'll stop there. Thank you all and to the PH team for all the love! We've been looking forward to this day for a while and it's finally here. Surreal.
Let us know what you think and feel free to add me to your Yac team with jordan@yac.chat
I've always been poking around looking for a great way to quickly get in touch with people that isn't sending a message. I find voice to be so much faster. Hoping YAC can fill that void for me at work!
Incredible voice messaging product that is now more relevant than ever. I use everyday with my team. Productivity and focus are the side effects. Founders and team are very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.
I've worked remotely on a small team for 2 years and something like Yac would've made my life so much easier. There were even times a year ago where I'd record a voice note on my Windows PC native recording app and then send the file to a teammate, all because this kind of chat is so valuable to remote teams.
Now with Yac, my first use was getting to know my remote teammate better! We did a 20 Questions kind of game where we asked each other questions and got genuine answers that carried so much more emotion than just text while saving time. Will continue to use this Yac! It's awesome!
