Convync

Hi PH, I’m the co-founder of Convync (ken-vink). A year ago when the massive shift to remote work took place, I realized that I was no longer having casual interactions with friends at work. I could no longer walk by people's desks to strike up a conversation or bump into them in the hallway. Maintaining personal relationships with colleagues became difficult and now required deliberate effort. When I heard that teams were using all-day Zoom calls to stay connected with one another, I knew there had to be a better way. So I grabbed 2 of my closest college friends and together, we built Convync. Convync (ken-vink) is a virtual office network for remote/hybrid employees. Every employee has a virtual personal office (VPO), which acts like a personal Zoom meeting but looks totally different. It looks like an actual room, and it’s customizable so that employees can express their own personalities. Employees can move freely within each room, promoting the feeling of shared occupancy of a physical space. Rooms are subscribable, so employees can bookmark and revisit their favorite rooms, like their team’s virtual standup room, a friend or colleague’s VPO, or a shared virtual breakroom. We wanted remote workers to be able to say impromptu, “I’ll be in my office” or “Let’s grab lunch”, without the hassle of having to schedule a call. Convync offers a virtual open-door solution so you and your team can stay genuinely engaged, even if you're scattered around the globe. With your virtual personal office, you can: • ⌛ Host office hours - set your availability, log into your personal office, and be easily within reach of teammates, managers, and reports. • 👨‍💻👩‍💻 Virtually cowork - grab some colleagues and hop into a virtual coworking session for deep, uninterrupted work. Reduce procrastination and boost productivity by keeping each other focused. • ☕ Grab coffee - have your next virtual 1:1 or coffee catchup in an environement that feels real so you can interact more genuinely. • 🎉 Hang out and more! - share a meal, celebrate a birthday, or hold a happy hour. Feel present with your team and enjoy the spontaneity of interactions, just like back in the physical office. Right now all Convync features can be used for free during our launch. We’d love to get your thoughts on the product and I’m more than happy to answer any questions! 🙏🏼

Nice idea! One thing I wonder is whether the "head bubbles" are large enough to convey the benefits of video communication?

wow this a nice unique concept

Love the concept! Think it would integrate well with other chat apps. Good luck!

Would like to put my team on this

The kind of creativity we need at the workplace. This dire situation really takes the life out of office conversations. At least now, we have the taste of it.
