Automate Team Intros

Insight from CultureBot

Now, as useful as your chatbot will be, we should also get your new hire talking to real people 🤝

If you’re a remote-first team, this might be easier said than done.

Lucky for us, we have other robots to help us with that too.

There are a host of bot integrations for Slack (and other comms platforms) that initiate randomly matched intro-meetings between folks from different teams.

Let’s look at CultureBot, as one example of how these work:

CultureBot introduces new hires, starts conversations/“virtual coffees”, and notifies relevant team members to connect, all with a quick set up.   

All you have to do is decide how often you want these connections to happen, which channel to host them in, and what pool of employees the bot should select from.

Now, before you roll your eyes too hard, I’ve actually been in some Slack workspaces that use tools like this (we used Random Coffee). 

Can’t guarantee an absence of any awkwardness, but they do work well in breaking the ice.
