SoWork

SoWork is a digital workspace platform designed specifically for remote and hybrid teams to collaborate in a persistent, shared virtual environment. Unlike traditional video conferencing tools that rely on scheduled links and calendar invites, SoWork creates an always-on office where team members can see each other’s presence, status, and availability at a glance. The platform simulates the spontaneous interactions of a physical office by allowing users to “walk over” to a colleague’s virtual desk, wave them into a conversation, or join a meeting with a single click—no scheduling overhead required. Core functionalities include a real-time presence system that shows who is online, focused, in a meeting, or away. Users can toggle between “World Mode,” which displays a spatial map of the office with avatars and desks, and “Simple Mode,” which strips away the visual world for a minimalist, distraction-free interface. This flexibility lets individuals choose how they interact with the environment based on their current task or preference. Meetings within SoWork are instant and fluid. Instead of booking a room, users simply approach a colleague virtually and start talking. Every meeting is automatically recorded, transcribed, and summarized by an integrated AI assistant, which stores the session memory in a searchable archive. This eliminates the need for separate note-taking tools and ensures that absent team members can catch up on discussions without manual effort. The platform also includes built-in analytics to track team activity patterns, such as when people are most active, how often they interact, and which communication channels are used most.
