My name is Anna, and together with my husband Timur we are the co-founders of Ploito.com — a virtual office for remote work.

Without AI….. Maybe a little bit:)

I am a marketer, Timur is a developer and created Ploito himself.

In Ploito you always see the faces of your colleagues as live avatars with facial details blurred. If you see a colleague's face, it means they are at the computer, and you can talk to them. To do this, make a special gesture and start speaking. No ringing or scheduling calls.

Privacy first. So if someone picks their nose, the live avatar blur becomes stronger :)

This solves many remote work problems:

- Turns scattered remote workers into a team

- Creates Proof of work that cannot be measured

- Increases efficiency through fast communication

And it's cheaper than renting an office! --- We kindly ask you to watch our video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgkB7k900hQ

And to visit our website https://ploito.com

We will be glad to read your comments:)

Hey! Thanks for showing :) I work on a full remote team and we've been using Gather for our virtual office (https://www.gather.town/). We love customizing our space, tables, chairs etc but they lack your "smart" blur part (if that really works?) and health tracking part.
Hi Friend! Thank you for your comment! Yes, the part with blurred live avatars is really unique feature and we are proud of it. It helps to recognise that you are at the computer but it respects privacy and really you can't see what you shouldn't. Also we have smart reminders about warm-up. They are really smart. You can't just swipe them. If you have more questions, write me @ploito_support (telegram) Or whatsapp +37495125073 We can offer you free work for your company!
Is there a good way to try this out without getting the entire team on board? I think this could be very helpful for me but I don’t think I can reasonably expect others to use it. Zoom integration, for instance, would be huge for this.
Hi Friend! Thank you for your comment! You can try it with 3-4 team members at first. And totally free. You can write me in telegram @ploito_support or whatsapp +37495125073 We are open to any features which you need to add. Feel free to write me:)
