We’re so glad you asked! The installation process could not be more simple: Visit us here and you’re only a few clicks away from integrating zanie into your Slack team.

It’s pretty simple yet sometimes difficult to explain, but it goes like this:
Questions → Conversation → Trust building → Emotional Connection → Better work, together.

Teams that are emotionally connected to each other, work better together. Emotional connection can only be achieved through conversations that help people get to know each other. So we believe that good conversation is paramount to building the trust that leads to innovative, productive and ultimately fulfilling work. And good conversation starts with great questions.

So many before of us have done such great work in this arena that we didn’t need to reinvent the wheel. Our conversation starters draw on and adapt tried and tested questions developed by Myers Briggs, the Big 5, entrepreneurial trait assessments, gamer profiles, recruiting resources, career development and relationship-building models.

Our head and our heart. First, our head: or our proprietary scientific 4D model facilitates both personal growth and strong bond development within small groups. Our unique conversational approach was specifically designed to help users build trust naturally, progressively, efficiently and sustainably.

Our heart: we begin every day, every decision, every design from a place of empathy. That is our path to discovery. We listen, deeply - to each other, to our users, to our clients and to our investors. We consider ourselves a perpetual work in progress: continually learning, iterating and improving.

Now! Visit us here to start uncovering the magic betwixt you and your teammates today!

As long as your organization has teams, can help! Research HERE and HERE shows that trust-building and positive team dynamics are best developed in smaller groups. It’s tough to engage in meaningful dialogue with a crowd! That’s why larger groups naturally splinter into smaller ones that are more conducive to conversation. Various studies indicate that the magic number for optimal group interaction is 7. But don’t worry if your team, department or company is larger than that: zanie can subdivide any group into clusters of 7 or fewer which means that you can build a culture of trust no matter the size of your organization.

We are helping to build trust in digitally-enabled relationships and we understand that this starts with earning your trust. We don’t police your discussions and any conversations that take place in a group, stay in the group. We don’t divulge any content you share with us to your company or managers, though we do provide them with a high-level view of team engagement behaviors and patterns.

Your data is yours. All of your data in encrypted both at the storage level and at the data level and any personally identifiable information is automatically anonymized.

We protect your information as it is being transmitted between our servers and slack.com with SSL encryption.

We don’t share any personally identifiable information with third parties.

Because we use Slack’s OAuth user authentication and tokenization mechanism, we do not request, use, or store any of your passwords.

We might be slightly biased, but as we’ve used our product with our own team, we have seen our trust of each other shoot through the roof. zanie helped to enrich communication between the culturally, professionally and personally diverse members of our team. Needless to say, we’re obsessed with it, and we think your team will love uncovering all that lies betwixt you, too.
