For remote and hybrid teams

Working together, naturally.

DeskSide brings back the hallway conversations remote work forgot: quick, friendly voice moments without meetings, links, or planning.

Works on standard smartphones today, including the company phones your team already has.

Have you got a minute before I send this?

DeskSide creates the missing communication layer between messages and meetings: the quick question, the spontaneous idea, and the casual conversation remote work forgot.

The layer between

Not another messaging app. Not another meeting platform.

Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Zoom are excellent for structured collaboration. DeskSide fills the space between them: the "have you got a minute?", the thought between tasks, and the small conversation while making coffee.

Faster than typing Small questions get answered naturally before they become long threads.
Lighter than meetings No link, agenda, or awkward calendar slot for a five-second check-in.
Present without being intrusive Availability and focus cues help people connect at the right moment.

A DeskSide moment

A quick conversation, without making it a meeting.

Press play for a small generated-feeling interaction: a transcript, live voice activity, and browser speech where supported. It is not a rendered video, but it gives the page the ambient feel of DeskSide in use.

Ollie Yep, give me the short version while I make coffee.

Nina I am here too. That headline felt warmer yesterday.

Everyday moments

Bring your team with you around the house.

1

Instant conversations

Ask the small thing before it becomes a long thread or a half-hour call.

2

Because great teamwork does not only happen at your desk

Keep a natural connection while making coffee, moving rooms, or thinking aloud.

3

Stay connected without staying in meetings

Feel close to the team without living in scheduled calls or video windows.

Secondary opportunity

Your company phone has been waiting for a better job.

Every year companies invest heavily in work phones, mobile contracts, and device management. Yet for many employees those devices spend most of their lives waiting for authentication codes or the occasional scheduled call.

DeskSide gives that device a more useful role: a simple, always-available way to keep colleagues naturally nearby throughout the working day.

No meeting links No scheduling No typing Just talk
Before Authentication codes, email checks, occasional calls.
After A calm work companion that keeps your team nearby.
New category The hallway conversations remote work removed.

DeskSide restores the small human interactions that help distributed teams feel connected, creative, and moving together throughout the day.

Future hardware vision

From standard smartphones to dedicated work companions.

DeskSide works on standard smartphones today. Over time, the vision includes dedicated companion devices purpose-built for work: always available, simple to use, and managed by corporate IT.

This is a future product direction, not a current shipping device.
