Pesto is fantastically unique and a joy to have as a part of your daily flow.
If you are thinking, "Well, is it better than...?" you should know that it supplants multiple products that companies typically cobble together that on the whole fail to fully address the obstacles of remote work.
Pesto provides a natural, intuitive way to work day-to-day with a team whose members can be anywhere. The concept was solid at launch two years ago, and the velocity of the product team since then has been impressive.
I'll echo my comments here on the original product from two years ago, as they remain relevant:
"I have been working mostly remote for years, relying on Slack and other tools to enable communication and collaboration.
[Pesto] has been a breath of fresh air.
If you are unsure about what difference "another app" can make, check out the thoughful posts on the [Pesto] blog. Then start using [Pesto]. You'll see that it immediately delivers on the promise of allowing your team to work in a more natural flow and addresses issues with asychronous communication, loneliness and availability messaging that you may not have realized are plaguing your team."
I am a huge huge fan of this product and have used it since before the name change from the first month of release. Can't recommend a better digital workplace software than this. Congrats on the launch ?makers!!

The Pesto team and product has allowed us to build an incredible team across many diverse geographies. We continue to use slack less and less, as we do more, in real time, faster. Highly recommend.
@peterthegreat Thanks so much Peter, for being a support since day one!!

Pesto (f.k.a. Pragli) was one of my greatest finds in the COVID era as it helped my team who were scattered in one day and lost the feeling of "working together". It has its small bugs and quirks but generally speaking, it strikes a great balance between useful and fun, perfect for that "team" feeling. Congrats to the team for this great product, and hope the pricing lands within the feasible area for us.. =)
@nixd Woo! Glad you've been loving the experience so far. Quality has been a huge focus for us these last few months, so we'll keep laser focused on getting the bugs sorted

@nixd Thank you Nisan! The team has been really focused on squashing those bugs and polishing the product so it's closer to enterprise-ready. And we'll make pricing such that it's a no-brainer for you :)
Hey Product Hunt,
I’m Doug, co-founder and CEO at Pesto. Vivek and I started working on Pesto (at the time, called Pragli) pre-COVID because we were tired of the communication friction and loneliness of remote work.
At the time, we wanted to build a small bootstrapped business... because remote work was a niche! As you may imagine, things have gone way faster than we expected. Over 10,000 teams have signed up for Pesto and we just announced our $5M seed round. Our users logged an estimated 100,000,000 audio/video minutes in 2021.
So.. what is it? Pesto is a digital workplace where teams get work done, hangout, play games, and generally live their work lives.
The workplace consists of rooms, customizable spaces for different types of activities. For instance, you may setup a room where you meet like you would in Zoom... or one where you walk around on a map, quietly vibe out to Lofi music, or even play games like trivia. Rooms are reflected in the left bar and are lightning quick to hop between.
In this workplace, your avatar can be a significantly less fatiguing version of video. You can still turn on video if you want, and rooms support 4k screen share with screen drawing.
We (still!) haven’t released pricing, but we plan to launch a paid tier in a few months and will give all PH users a 10% discount once we do (save the code PH10). We’re also working on our SOC-2 compliance and other enterprise features.
Try out Pesto with your teams and let us know what you think; we’ll be here to answer questions and receive feedback.
Sincerely,
Doug

My team has been using Pesto since it first launched 2 years ago as "Pragli". We took a brief hiatus and tried a new platform briefly, but found ourselves coming back to Pesto with open arms. The ability to collaborate purely with audio is amazing, and Pesto has helped our entire team stay comfortable and connected. Looking forward to what is in store for Pesto in the future.
I'm a happy Pesto user! It's a simple & natural way to connect with your team. The minimalist in me loves that I can hop into a room without having to create, share or receive a link. The default is audio-only, reducing friction and stress. And it's easy for multiple people to join, share screens, work like we're right alongside each other. All the benefits, without pressure for formality. How collaboration should be done.
