Axel is a virtual assistant who helps you develop a culture of transparency and ownership in your team. You set up the right 1:1 and weekly check-in from templates in a few clicks. Our secret sauce: no need to add another tool, everything is done in Slack.
Very clean, easy way to sync with your team. I like that it asks more about the capacity, stress level, etc. of your team than just project status. It feels far less big brother than other solutions as well.
I was part of the beta testers community since day one! Axel helps me make everyone in my team accountable and develop a culture of results! The "mood" feature was a killer for me as well. I get an overview of my team's motivation at any time.

@yannick_mthy Thanks a lot Yannick! Your insights were incredibly useful to build the product
Hi Team! Noticed your product, quick question: what is the recommended team size to start implementing this? Have you found a magic number in your customer discovery? When using Axel is less time-consuming than doing it manually?

Do people actually use it? I would be worried that employees would be reluctant to tell their bosses how they feel? Isn't it always "I'm good. Don't fire me because I always am good."
It looks interesting. Is there a mechanism to convince employees to use it? Like gamification?

@sadamiak Hi Szymon,
Thanks for your question. So far we didn't implement any gamification mechanism, as we believe that it's a managerial responsibility to make sure that everyone in the team shares their progress and goals. There are reminders though. But it could definitely be a leverage to increase adoption!
Do you have anything specific you'd like to see implemented?
@sadamiak@weiss_arnaud Nothing specific in mind. In my experience many employees are reluctant to use such tools or provide brief and superficial answers. Live stand-ups are easier, people are more likely to engage. So I was wondering if you've got any solutions for that.

@sadamiak@weiss_arnaud What we've observed so far:
-Most companies use Axel to prepare meetings rather than replace them. The idea is to make sure that everyone prepared their part seriously beforehand.
-We have very good completion rates so far. Nevertheless, we noticed the repetition of the same questions every week / day is driving completion down on the long run. That's why we're working on a "roulette" feature for meetings. It wil pick randomly a question among a pool at every occurence 😊
This is cool! We're building a chatbot that does this and a bit more: https://www.dailybot.com - it's great to see more initiatives in this space. Congrats
