Greetings, product hunt!
It's Roman from Debrief. Many thanks to Tristan @pollock for hunting us:)
Today we are stoked to share a tool that we started building to take care of our own remote team's well-being. It is called Debrief, a Slack app for safely sharing your struggles, making sense of what’s going on at work and unwind.
Here is a problem we're aiming to solve. Today's fast-paced work culture generates a lot of stressful moments.
Many people aren’t trained to deal with them in a self-caring manner, they tend to accumulate stress and burn out. It might not be obvious who is struggling with what at the moment. But you can be sure that almost everyone is struggling with something.
Sure, many of us have talk therapy, meditation apps, memes, sports and so on to relax. But in the heat of the work moment those tools are out of reach, and that’s where we may start stressing out loud in group chats, sending emotional emails, or fingerprinting at standup meetings.
There’s got to be a better way to deal with work stress, to filter emotions from facts, to address both in time, and to get the assistance with it if needed.
Debrief is just the place for that. A private space in your team Slack for everyone to reflect on their work experience and timely share the pain points they have — so that you could address them together.
Debrief helps you create a routine and a workflow over your personal work stressors, like meetings, planning, relationship with colleagues, deadlines, emotions and meltdowns. With the help of GPT-powered dialogs you will quickly get to the bottom of any issue and know what to do next.
We welcome everyone to add Debrief to your team Slack, try it for your work stress management and let us know about your experience.
PS
I want to say huge thanks to our CTO @sergeypetrov, operations lead @lyudmila_golubkova and marketing lead @formasha. And all the guys and girls from https://goodit.works team who helped us with the development process!
@timur_rustamov That is a great question indeed, often asked by team leaders. Here is what we do in our team. We have a #debriefs channel where everyone could put their reflections during the week (those that aren't personal). No immediate reaction from the team is needed – everyone could check them out at their own pace. At the end of the week we go through them with the focus on how the person was feeling – and what event caused this feeling. In 95% of cases we discover a process inefficiency, a vague task or something else that causes frustration. Case by case our team started to share more and keep inside less. Collaborative mindset has improved significantly as well as personal well-being.
@new_user_221e925738cc7 Hey Ksenia, each time when you finish a debrief scenario, a summary link will appear — there's an option to share its content via email, if you feel like it. Otherwise each teammate has a one on one chat with the bot, it's not a group chat.
