Better teamwork, built into the workday.
The IM Team Assistant is a licensable AI companion that helps teams coordinate work, clarify responsibilities, prepare and follow through on meetings, assist individual members and continuously improve how they work together.
Collaboration tools record activity. They rarely improve collaboration.
Teams have more communication, task and meeting tools than ever, but coordination still depends heavily on individual memory, managerial intervention and inconsistent working practices. Training and coaching can help, but they are usually separated from the moment when the team actually needs assistance.
The IM Team Assistant brings team-effectiveness support into the flow of work.
