🙋‍♀️Hey Makers! I'm Carol, CTO at Workviz. I'd like to introduce Workviz-the most revolutionary product for remote teams to you🥳 Workviz features: a. 📊Daily Report of Every Employee: Detailed breakdown of each employee's activities for the day b. ⏳Record of Time Distribution: Active v.s. idle time c. 🚨Productivity Alerts: The system includes three types of alerts: On Leave Alert Overcapacity Workload Alert Roadblock Detection Alert d. 🥴Emoji Feedback: Employees can use emojis to express their feelings or stress levels. 💼 Why do we launch Workviz? In the era of remote work, maintaining a well-balanced, efficient, and engaged team can be quite the challenge. As we grapple with time zone differences, burnout, and the loss of face-to-face interactions, the need for a comprehensive solution becomes all the more important. That's where Workviz steps in. 📎Interested in our full story? Here you go. (The Story of Workviz https://www.workviz.io/post/the-...) 🪪There are some scenarios and user cases here (User Case of Workviz: https://www.workviz.io/post/user...) 🙌Really appreciate your support! Feel free to leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts.

Estimating time is very hard. How does this solution do estimation. Based on historical data or does it learn the more you use it?
Moritz von Contzen
@sentry_co I'm curious about this too. Would love to learn more about where you're getting the data from in the first place.
Carol Xie
@sentry_co Thanks for your questions! Our algorithm will be comprehensive, using historical behavioural data patterns as well as real-time data feedback, each with its own weight. Additionally, we will support managers in customizing the algorithm based on specific job responsibilities and business processes. WorkViz is also empowered by AI where it can learn more as you use it, it studies historical data for more accurate insights. As a starting point, we have pre-set 50+ behavioural models based on our own company's data and we collaborate with labs for work behavioural study research. Hope it helps! Happy to connect if you have further questions!

@sentry_co @mooritzvc Hi Moritz, Great Question, in the first place, we pre-set some behavioural models based on study research and our own experience. (e.g. working hours is 7.5h, and active time for a software engineer in coding app is usually around 4h, for a customer success specialist is 6h etc,) Then based on the historical data of the organization, it improves the algorithm and studies your team's "work model". Our API only records the names of running programs and their running duration, without the ability to access actual input content when users are using it. we ensure the data is protected, so we do not collect any sensitive data in the first place.

@carol_xie1 Thanks for explaining! I'd also love to learn how you're connecting to the different softwares? Are you recording the screen, connecting directly to the apps or pulling the data via OS (Mac / Windows) level? This seems like an interesting challenge so I'm curious how you went about it :)
Carol Xie
@mooritzvc Hi Moritz! Thanks for asking, I am sure it is a concern for most of the company how to track productivity while maintaining the data privacy. We will NEVER record screen or access the content of users. We start by pulling the data via (Mac/Windows) level, and can also capture the tab name from different browsers. Our algorithm are trained to understand the nature of 2000 + software, the purpose of these softwares/webs and how employees will use them. Thus, by just capture the active time VS idle time of users in these softwares/web pages, we can understand their working productivity and behavior without touching the content OR record the screen. We put data privacy in the first place and enhance the power of management on top of that.

Thank God the company I work at doesn't track our time. Not because I want to be lazy or work less, but because being trusted makes me want to actually work harder. I'm not doing tasks just so "they're done," but I rather invest my energy in them, trying to do them as good as possible, just like I'd do if it were my businesses. All because I'm trusted :) But I can see how this product could help, haha; not everyone is reliable So, congrats on your launch! 👏🎉
Carol Xie
@andrei_costea2 Hi Andrei, Thanks for your comments! We totally agree with you! Managers definitely trust their team members but sometimes your contributions/ projects/results take years to be recognized. This tool is designed to build trust among the managers and the team members right away by letting them visualize data and to ensure hard work can be seen and fairly recognized. As a manager, I fully trust our product team and they worked days and nights to launch it! Now it is my time to review the data and recognize the top performers so I don't miss anyone. I will also use WorkViz to review their emotions and feedback and time allocation. these will be great lesson and learn for me to improve the workload planning and allocation for our next launch.

This solution makes absolute sense during scaling up to more employees, it is really hard to track productivity and overall performance, and WorkViz can provide valuable insights.
Carol Xie
@tomas_blatak1 Thanks for the support!
Aleksandr Smetanka
Well, no information about the company on the landing page, while this is a very sensitive data operation. And it's not easy to find anything about the company on the Internet, either.
Carol Xie
@asmetanka Hi Aleksandr, we totally understand your concern. We are registered 3 years ago in California, USA, Our Registered Address is 3200 PARK CENTER DRIVE, COSTA MESA. I will for sure to put the registered information on the footage and thank you for the suggestion. Regarding data privacy, every application we use right now is related to data operation and for WorkViz team, 1) We guarantee code audit - I will connect with you and help schedule a code audit at your convenience 2) We ensure every Users' data is encrypted and only authorized users within your organization can access it. 3) WorkViz also utilizes SSL security protocols to ensure that data is not compromised during transmission. We currently have over 50+ organizations using WorkViz to automate their daily management, (a significant of them are public companies that audited us before their use). Thank you for your questions and I will for sure to follow you and schedule a time.
Aleksandr Smetanka
@carol_xie1 thank you for the so detailed answer! I think adding this data it's a must, especially not to accidentally break any laws that require such things. Anyway, it's an interesting product, definitely will follow it! Good luck 🧡
Congrats on the launch! Can't wait to give it a try!
@victorzh, well done on hunting WorkViz! The productivity alerts seem like a useful feature. Can users customize the thresholds for these alerts based on their team's specific needs?
Carol Xie
@victorzh @ricardo_luz Hi Richard, Yes! Companies can customize thresholds for alerts based on needs! We understand different teams and different roles will have different needs, so we are fully customizable for managers to set up their own work models and use our AI for analysis.

💡 Bright idea
Congratulations on the launch! I came across this exciting news about your launch through Wilson's PYQ. I must say, I'm particularly impressed by the Productivity Alerts feature you offer, specifically the On Leave Alert, Overcapacity Workload Alert, and Roadblock Detection Alert. These three types of blockers are absolutely crucial for effective project management. We are eager to give it a try with our team. Keep up the fantastic work!
Carol Xie
@kenlian Thank you Ken! Our goal is to support managers for automated management and balance team member's well-being and productivity. Thank you for your support and good luck on Cheese Credit Builder Launching!
Bart van de Kooij
Congrats on the launch.Recently I looked at this tool and impressed how they track productivity as working remote and moving fast is hard to track. Really useful for PM’s to understand teams behavior.
Carol Xie
@bartvandekooij Thank you Bart for the support! Productivity and well-being are all important to our teams and we empower that!
Heleana Grace
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀 I see that daily reports are available. Can you also create weekly and monthly reports?
Carol Xie
@heleana Yes the default is daily report but all data can be grouped into monthly or weekly for managers
