Hi all. My team is building Karmabot.chat, a tool for gathering micro-feedback on chats. The bot works on Slack, MS Teams and Telegram and tracks in-chat team performance ('karma', very similar to Product Hunt/Reddit concepts) via simple set of commands:
> @user ++ for fixing that annoying bug
*OUR CUSTOMERS*
Customers that get the most value out of Karmabot are usually teams of 20+ size. At that scale in-chat communications become messy and the founders/managers begin to lose grasp on the current state of affairs in daily conversations: threads, channels, direct messages. At some point, it is hard to impossible to know who did a good job.
_Approximately 77% of all Karmabot installs are done by business owners, senior management, heads of departments, CEOs or technical directors._
*PROBLEM <> SOLUTION*
Karmabot helps team mates to share karma points and provide micro-feedback on a regular basis. These rewards are instant. It's super-easy to send @user++ request and quickly note done a little achievement of one of your colleagues.
In the long run, the records help team leaders to recognise best performers and strong communicators. A tiny token of appreciation from a boss, such as 'Well done, thanks heaps for helping with this!' – it will not drown in the daily noise of business chats. Good little deeds are visible now.
The bot can automatically assign a category to each karma request. At the end of the year/quarter, a simple appreciation token like `@user ++ for being a good sport` can help an employee to get a bonus or a promotion.
To increase company’s efficiency by promoting effective employees, spotting weaknesses and helping employees to address them. Karma also leads to a healthy competition that fosters effectiveness.
*TOOLSET*
- Performance reports, actionable HR insights for performance reviews.
- Time tracking and reporting
- Employee full profiles
- Team engagement toolkit
--- educational tour `/k tour` and `/k help`
--- animated karma cards,
--- animated leaderboards
--- personal stats,
--- visualised profiles.
Individuals within each team have a powerful motivation to encourage and support their fellow team members; the more that each member contributes, the more the team as a whole benefits. The more that each team member feels valued and supported, the more motivation he or she has to contribute to the team.
*IT'S A LONG-TERM ENGAGEMENT*
1. The first level is simple: the user gets individual (normal) karma for positive behaviour.
2. Team karma is the next karma level. When the team delivers a part of the project, it receives a large chunk of team karma and distributes it among team members according to their shares.
3. Long-term karma is the highest level: the whole team works towards delivery of more projects over a longer period of time.
Transparency is a critical part of the Karmabot system, the admin can fine-tune visibility and processes in her team.
*FEEDBACK*
The first impression is very important. A couple of questions to the friendly community:
- What would you change in the in-chat on-boarding tour?
- What is _clearly_ missing from the product?

@user @stas_kulesh This is super cool. Huge congrats on the launch :)
@user @stas_kulesh Do you do outbound sales for this ? How do you identify companies who are using slack, MS, Telegram ?

@shreyaa_ratra MS Teams and Slack have their own app stores. Those generate the most of our users. Telegram is spreading virally, it's a free product. So, to answer you question: they come to us, we don't do sales at this stage, working with the existing customers, building the rock-solid product and finding market fit.

It would be great to hear your brutally honest feedback on our branding, characters and overall space theme we’ve picked.
Love this, installing NOW! The illustrations on the landing page are amazing :-)
