Beta user here. The phone ringing is literally my nightmare as the head a of product team. We are entirely remote and globally distributed, so async is our religion.

We were using Signal and Voxer together, as our specific use case requires nuance that voice is great for. We tried Loom but like Voxer, it just adds this linear playback experience that's so painful at scale.

Being able to speak in realtime, but review at a glance, is amazing. Verbz is indispensable to teams like ours in a kind of "it's so obvious you want voice and text at once" kind of way. The task allocation thing is already "hey that's cool" but seeing their roadmap, gets me excited. Of course, everyone and their dog will copy Verbz now, it's pathetic that Messenger and WhatsApp don't do this by default, so it's the "cool other stuff" they're adding that I'm curious to see. But even as a beta user I don't get shown everything so YMMV.
