Hello Product Hunt! 👋
Raymond here. Co-founder of Banter. We’ve been working on Banter as a side project, it’s a way for remote teams to get to know each other better on Slack. After fixing a ton of bugs and working with our customers adding request features, I’m finally sharing it to PH!
Banter’s been lucky enough to grace the teams of companies such as Superhuman, Apple, Starbucks, Mixpanel, Bytedance, Adobe, Ubisoft and others. Over 30,000 team members are actively Bantering.
What’s Banter?
Banter sparks spontaneous group conversations that would randomly happen IRL. It's asynchronous, automated, and the topics are diverse to encourage every team member to talk about things they love.
New ice breaker games are added weekly

Why Banter?
There are a bunch of social slack apps, here's where Banter fits in.
1. 😎 We're focused on chill socialization. Just group chats, no high attention 1:1s, no spotlights, no DMs. Low pressure social settings are where friendships are built. Anyone can share if they want to, or just read if they don't.
2. 🧠 Quality ice breakers, it's the only thing we're doing. We're constantly, adding, editing and pruning our prompts to maximize fun and novelty. Ice breakers are work safe by default.
3. ✨ New features constantly being added. To make Banter even more fun, we’re constantly thinking of new ways for Banter to add some fun and joy into Slack. For example, Banter will soon be able to tell you jokes in Slack on demand.
