Overview

Ren watches Slack, Zoom transcripts and Google Calendar for the moments a manager should be having a conversation they are avoiding, then sends private coaching to the manager and, separately, to the employee. A Morning Brief summarises what is coming, and the Accountability Dial framework advances automatically as situations develop.

Timing is the whole product. Management training is delivered in a workshop and needed three weeks later in a specific conversation with a specific person, which is why almost none of it transfers. Guidance arriving at the moment it applies is a genuinely different intervention, and it comes from the people behind the Accountability Dial, used with more than 100,000 managers.

Pricing is published and steep: free up to 4 people, $595 a month to 10, $995 to 20, $2,495 to 50, custom above that. It reads Slack and Zoom transcripts, which employees should know about explicitly rather than discover, coaching both sides of a conversation raises questions about whose interests it serves, and per-person costs at the Starter tier are high.

Key features

  • Real-time coaching inside Slack and Zoom
  • Accountability Dial framework applied automatically
