Every feature you'd actually use
No fluff. No "AI-powered sentiment analysis" gimmicks. Just the things that make recognition stick.
Peer-to-peer kudos that go viral inside your team
Send a kudos in 10 seconds with one of 8 quick templates. Tag company values + badges. Award points. The whole team reacts and comments — it's a feed, not a black hole.
- • 8 quick-templates · custom message · markdown formatting
- • Tag a company value + a badge · tag is server-side and counted in analytics
- • Reactions (7 emojis) + threaded comments per kudos
- • Public or private — manager-only kudos when you need to be discreet
Birthdays and work anniversaries celebrated automatically
Daily cron at 9am IST scans every workspace and posts kudos for that day's birthdays + work anniversaries. Customizable message templates with {name} and {years} placeholders. Award points on autopilot.
- • Daily UTC scan · idempotent (won't duplicate)
- • HR can customize point amount + message per workspace
- • Renders distinctly in feed (🎂 / 🎉 avatar instead of sender's initials)
- • Posts to Slack / Teams + sends email — same as peer kudos
