Hi Product Hunters!
Today Iโm excited to launch PollPanda, a Slack bot to help you know your team better๐ฅ
We started building PollPanda because we needed it in our agency.
In the last few months, we have used it to:
1. Get an idea of where everyoneโs working from. We are a hybrid team, and often, everyone in the team wants to know who else is coming to the office. So, we set up a PollPanda poll to ask the entire team daily about where they will be working from.
2. To hold meme competitions. Our Friday memes are popular on Instagram. Why? Because we hold meme competitions within the team and decide the winner using PollPanda.
3. To decide where we should go for our retreat. (I wish I could show you the mountains we saw from there.)
โจAnd more!
The current PollPanda version only has features we used within our agency.
But the exciting part - is what we will ship in the next few months!
We are releasing these features soon:
1. Ask Ice-Breaker questions and create polls (based on trends) to get the Slack communication juice going within the team
2. Hold competitions (like our meme one, but better organized) and check the leaderboard across all competitions. Award your winner in your monthly Townhalls ๐ฅ
3. Turning 1-liners with โgood to goโ answers (Yann LeCun said large language models save โtypingโ. It was meant to be a diss, but weโre using it to do exactly that!)
โจI welcome you to use our product. Or signup for our waiting list to use it once ship the new features.
And, needless to say, please let us know your feedback. We appreciate any comments or suggestions. We are improving PollPanda every day and you can have a big impact โค๏ธ
PS: As a big thank you to the PH community, we have a 30% discount on our current offering.
Hey hey hey! Congratulations on the recent of PollPanda on Product Hunt! ๐
First of all cool and catchy logo! My eyes fell on it the first on the list.
But from the screenshots you provided unfortunately I didn't understand how it works. There are just blurred fields on it. Can I kindly ask you how it works?
@denis_galka Hi Denis, thank you for your question!
Sorry, it was confusing.
We didn't want to show a "real" Slack channel for privacy concerns, but maybe we could have done appropriate homework on how to present it better.
Anyways, to tell you about the product: This is a Slack bot to create quick and easy polls within the team.
For example, in the first picture, we have created a poll that asks: "Which hiking trail do you want to go to?" and the blurred fields are people voting for the individual options.
In addition to creating polls, we are introducing new features like:
1. Ask ice-breaker questions and polls based on recent trends (all automated using GPT-3)
2. Hold competitions (like meme competitions) and track the leaderboard. So you can award your winner monthly, quarterly, or yearly! We have found that this is good for team-engagement.
3. Turning 1-liners with "good to go" answers. With this feature, you will be able to write a simple one-liner like: "yeah available" and the bot will turn it to: "Yes, I am available for the meeting.". Less typing, more work!
Hope I have answered your question, and thank you so much for your feedback!
Congratulations on your launch! ๐
Is it any chances to see such tool for other messengers - Teams, Discord, etc?
Anyway, nice logo and idea!
Keep doing! ๐ช
I love this tool of how you can help to keep your team engaged, but there are many other tools in the market. How is your tool differentiating than the other ones out there?
@shushant_lakhyani Hi Shushant, thanks for the feedback. It's a valid concern.
We are focused on introducing new tools to make it easier for teams to engage:
1. Ask Ice-Breaker questions and create polls (based on trends) to get the Slack communication juice going within the team
2. Hold competitions (like our meme one, but better organized) and check the leaderboard across all competitions. Award your winner in your monthly Townhalls ๐ฅ
3. Turning 1-liners with โgood to goโ answers (Yann LeCun said large language models save โtypingโ. It was meant to be a diss, but weโre using it to do exactly that!)
Congrats on the launch of PollPanda ๐๐ It sounds like a great way to get to know your team better! I'm always looking for ways to bring more fun and engagement into my team's conversations and it looks like PollPanda is a great way to do that. I'm excited to see what features you have coming soon and can't wait to try it out. Keep up the great work and thanks for giving the Product Hunt community a special discount! ๐
@paolo_degiglio Thank you for the feedback Paolo, and the kind words!

With most companies fully operating via Slack, tools like these could be the best way to start our day at work - we could get the ball rolling with some interesting discussions. Excited to see the upcoming features! Keep going!
Slack is a great tool for team communication, but it can also be used for quick and easy polls. By creating a poll within Slack, you can find out the consensus of your team members quickly and easily.
