Organize everything by project

Projects lack context when information is scattered all over the place and difficult to find. And digging around in different tools, tabs, and Slack threads to find what you need is a huge time suck.

Switchboard lets you bring all the pieces of your project together in one permanent room for the whole team to access any time. Project scope in a PDF? Tasks in Asana? Presentation in Google Slides? Add them to the room—Switchboard works with all your browser-based tools.

Work together—or asynchronously—on all your apps and docs

Multiplayer browsers let you work side-by-side in real time on documents, apps, and files. Or you can hop into the room to make progress on your own schedule. Just add what you need to the room with a simple copy/paste and get started. No lengthy downloads and no complex integrations.

Get up to speed in always-open rooms

Everything in your room stays right where you left it, so all the pieces of your project are easy to find. Team members can jump into the room anytime to work together or make progress on their own schedule.

Have fewer, more productive meetings

You need some meetings to make progress—but some you can definitely do without! Share updates in the room instead so people can get up to speed async. This means you can cancel more meetings and get back time for focus work.

When you do meet, you can get straight down to business on the call, working side by side on multiplayer browsers instead of sharing screens. Sticky notes, chat, polls, and surveys get everyone engaged and contributing—and leave a record for the next person.
