That’s interesting, I never considered something like that.

But at that low price, surely you have a bunch of customers being watched by each employee, and then talking to only one at a time — isn’t it distracting to see your “double” chatting away with the sound off?

No, nobody has ever complained about it (and yes, we did ask). When we first started, we were really concerned about it, so we tried to move as little as possible, avoid hand gestures, and so on. However, it turned out to be a non-issue.

Fun fact: I’d estimate that 50% of users don’t even look at their Productivity Partner while they work. WorkMode runs in another tab, and users rarely switch back to it. They don’t need to see us - they just need to know we’re watching. I’m in that group.
