Recognition with an agent built in · meet Ellie
Peer recognition that proves your company values.
Every applaud is tagged with the value it demonstrates, so you can finally see which values are real and who is being missed. Works in Slack, in the browser, or from your own AI tools. Set up in an afternoon.

The core idea
Make your values something people live, not something they read.
Most companies write values on a slide and never mention them again. Here your people prove them, one applaud at a time.

#QualityByChoice
Tag as many values as an applaud actually earns. That is what turns praise into a chart you can act on.

#CustomerObsession has 12 mentions in a quarter. That is not a recognition problem. It is a values problem you can now see and coach.

Meet EllieMeet Ellie
For the people who never know what to write.
Ellie drafts the applaud you were struggling to word. She tells you who you have not recognised in a month. She can propose admin changes, and you approve them. Same permissions wherever you ask her.
Writes the hard partTurns "thanks for the help" into something specific and worth keeping.
Remembers for youTells you who you have not recognised, and whose wall closes tonight.
Answers in plain language"Which values are fading in support?" No dashboard required.
Three ways in
Use it however your team already works.
Slack, browser, or your AI tools. Same permissions everywhere. Nobody has to open a new tab to say thank you.

Recognising someone in the app
1Hit Applaud on the feed to open the composer.
2Tag a teammate with @ and add any company values it proves. Ellie can draft the wording if you are stuck.
3Pick claps and post. It lands on the feed — and in Slack when your workspace has a channel connected.

Momentum
Progress weighted toward giving.
Milestones are tieredEvery milestone is a count that keeps climbing: claps you gave, claps you received. One track, tiers lighting up as you pass them.
Claps given196 · 204 to Recognition Ambassador
Claps received103 · 297 to Exceptional Performer
Badges are one-offsEarned for a moment, not a running total. Welcome Wagon and Newbie Supporter are one event from both sides: the newcomer's first clap ever, and whoever gave it.

Coming soon
Two things we are building next.
Swag storeSoon
Claps people can actually spend, on stock you already bought.You list existing merch, so the reward budget is inventory you already paid forThe retreat t-shirts in a cupboard stop being a sunk cost
Remote CoffeeSoon
Fifteen minutes on a Friday with three or four people you would otherwise never meet.Opt in once and the Slack invite arrives every week, with no organiserThe matcher avoids repeats, and pairs people who share something to talk about
Admin console
Who got missed.
Total claps just proves you spent the budget. Gallup found 55% of employees get no meaningful recognition at all — coverage is the metric that tells you whether yours are in that 55%.

The features people actually come back for.
Most used
Celebrations nobody missesBirthdays and anniversaries open a wish wall on the day, in the honoree's own timezone. It is the single feature that pulls people back into the product every week.Multiple people on the same day each get their own wallPeople Ops writes the opening message weeks ahead; it posts itselfA belated window so a late wish still lands well
Most distinctive
Anonymous applaudsPraise someone without your name attached, across levels or whenever the recognition is worth more than the credit for giving it.Hidden from colleagues, never from the recordA named compliance contact can resolve authorship through an audited lookupAdmins can switch it off per workspace
Most load-bearing
A clap economy with a ledgerEveryone gets a monthly allowance, so recognition is finite enough to mean something and generous enough to use freely.Monthly allocation per person, with admin top-ups when a team needs moreEvery allocation records who granted it and whenUnspent claps expire, which is what keeps participation honest

ExportsMembers, posts and any analytics cohort as CSV, whenever you want them.
Multi-tenant by designOwner, Admin and Member roles per workspace, with your own logo, values and employee demonym.
Milestones and badgesTiered clap milestones plus one-off badges, weighted toward giving rather than receiving.
Security & compliance
What is true today, in plain terms.
Roles and tenancy
Owner, Admin and Member roles are enforced server-side on every operation, and workspaces are isolated per organisation.Admin actions are recorded
Clap allocations and top-ups are stored with who did it and when, so allocation history is reviewable.Anonymous is not untraceable
Anonymous posts hide the author from colleagues while keeping the record, so misuse can still be investigated.Your data is exportable
Members, posts and analytics cohorts export as CSV whenever you want them. There is no lock-in.Turn your values into something you can measure.
Load your own values into a test workspace and applaud one person. Ten minutes, no call, and you will know if this fits.
