Remote work lost something
The virtual office that thinks
This edition is brought to you by |  |
Featured app • Roam
The part of the office remote work forgot
Slack replaced the hallway. Zoom replaced the meeting room. But nothing replaced the thing that made offices work: seeing who is available, walking over to ask a quick question, and knowing what everyone is doing right now. Roam is a virtual office where remote teams work in the open. Drop-in meetings, all-hands theater, AI meeting summaries, enterprise messaging, scheduling, and screen recording built into one platform. Used by teams at Wistia, Customer.io, Deepgram, and Pulley.
What is it:
A virtual office platform with drop-in meetings, AI meeting summaries, enterprise messaging, scheduling, and events in one workspace.
Who is it for:
Remote and hybrid teams that want the visibility and spontaneity of an office without going back to one.
Alternative to:
Zoom, Slack, Gather, Tandem, or juggling five tools that still leave your team feeling disconnected.
Why we like it:
We like Roam because it gives remote teams the one thing video calls never could: presence.
