I can say that Tandem is the one which strikes me the most. I had a privilege to test the product in early beta and you can see the benefit of such solution. Basically Discord for work which I believe will be adopted soon by many companies.

>Basically Discord for work This was very confusing for me since I use Discord only for chat for various open source projects. Tandem is voice and video chat - the part of Discord I never use.

    I have worked remote last 5 years and there is no tool that has truly solved Information asymmetry that remote workers meet every day. How usually organizations solve this is overcommunication and keeping memos from everything but that is a huge time sink and there are always those bad apples that don't keep memos.

      This is exactly what's happening. More meetings + synchronous chat/calling apps won't solve this either.

        yeah, there needs to be something more radical. I think at the moment fully remote teams work better than semi-remote because fully remote teams most communication happens through slack and emails so there is almost always a paper trail.

        My experience reflects yours. Once you have a SINGLE full-time remote employee your team should operate as a fully-remote team. That means online meetings, online communications, documentation, etc.

      What you hope to have in your opinion to solve the problem?

        I have toyed tough about some kind text-to-speech bot that would automatically keep searchable memos from every meeting. But I am not sure is the current text-to-speech models there yet.

It's also big part of networking, with something like that you can apply to different programs, different mentorships that all brings you closer to human capital and money. That's part of the privilege being an american too, you're much closer and easily accessable to all of it.
