The problem it solves

When someone in your team chat wants to hop on a video call, you usually stop to open another app, generate a link, and paste it back in. That extra step slows down quick conversations that should take seconds to start.

Who it fits

Remote teams that communicate in a shared chat and want to jump on quick video calls without switching apps.

How it works

  1. Starts when someone requests a call in your team chat
  2. Creates a new video call room automatically
  3. Generates a shareable join link
  4. Posts the link back into the chat so anyone can join instantly
What you get

Video calls started without app switching

You get a ready-to-join video call link posted straight into your team chat the moment someone asks for one.

What you get

A live video call link posted directly in your chat channel.

What you need

A team chat workspace and a Whereby account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
