Vizy: An all-in-one virtual office for remote teams

Hi! Thanks for taking a look! Sam and I have been working on this for a while now, so we're SO amped to finally launch to the PH community. Vizy is a collaboration tool that lets remote teams do a bunch of stuff that we wish we could've done with one app when we managed and worked remotely in the past—rather than having to jump between different communication tools. Our goal when we began building was to give remote teams one single tool that handles all communication outside of Slack and email. For the 1.0 release, we've tried to do that with features like push-to-talk, audio and video channels, multiplayer app sharing, NLP-powered transcription, screen sharing with cursor visibility, file sharing, crystal-clear audio with echo- and noise-cancellation, global keyboard shortcuts, and a running history of files shared within channels and between teammates. Whew 😅. Coming soon are virtual whiteboards and screen sharing with markup. Though we bundled a lot of features into this product—and we think they're all great on their own—we tried our best to make a tool that feels cohesive and seamless, so we paid a ton of attention to UX and packaged everything in a UI that we're really proud of. Thanks for the upvote and don't forget to join the waitlist—we'll be releasing the app to the first batch of beta testers in the coming weeks. AMA (as well as any feature requests!) in the comment section!

Nice work on the launch @amosgewirtz! Since you can use Vizy for a lot of different ways, are you surprised in any of the ways that your beta users have used the platform for? P.S. for those who don't know them, Amos and Sam used to run Carve, and had amazing service. I wish the unit economics worked for car rentals, because it was the best rental experience I had in SF. Take away – they'll be meticulous about helping you with Vizy.

@kunalslab Much appreciated Kunal! I'm definitely somewhat surprised by what people seem to be using vs what we thought would be most useful. The push-to-talk and transcription feature is popular, but other things like file sharing aren't being used as much. Not sure whether that's a reflection of sub-par UI/UX that we can improve upon or whether the features genuinely aren't that useful. As always, we'll keep speaking to customers and making tweaks to find out!
