Karma: A performance-tracking chatbot
https://karmabot.chat/
With the advent of Slack, MS Teams, Docs, and more, there is now a Cambrian explosion of company information that was previously oral history. Much of this can be leveraged to find out who within the company is missing recognition. Karmabot observes the digital watercooler over chat. Through micro-feedback and rewards, it figures out who is consistently great on your team and company. It gives managers what they’ve always wanted: detailed insights on performance assessed in a minimally-partial way.
