We built this because "great work" is a terrible sentence.
Distributed teams lose the small moments — the hallway thank-you, the nod across a desk. What replaces them is usually a recognition tool that measures volume and calls it culture. We wanted the opposite: recognition specific enough to mean something, tied to the values a company claims, and reported honestly enough to act on.
Values, named out loud
Tagging the value takes one click, and the composer puts your values in front of every writer. It is optional on purpose — coerced tagging produces garbage data — but taken up, it is the only way to answer "is anyone actually living this?" with evidence instead of a survey.
Coverage beats volume
Total claps only proves the allocation was spent. We report participation, coverage and distribution, because the useful question is whether recognition reached people or pooled in the same ten names.
Meet people where they work
A recognition tool that needs its own tab dies quietly. Ours runs in Slack, and through MCP inside Claude or Copilot — the web app is for admins and for history. Microsoft Teams is in development.
A small team, building in the open.
We are early, and we would rather say so than pad a page with logos we have not earned. What we do have is a working product with real customers piloting it, a published sub-processor list, and a habit of telling you what is shipped versus what is coming.
The product is AI-native rather than AI-decorated: every capability is a typed operation with permission checks, which is what lets Ellie do anything a person can do — under the same rules — from the app, from Slack, or from inside your own AI tools.
An elephant never forgets who deserved the credit.
That is the whole idea behind her. The thing recognition programmes fail at is memory — who has been overlooked, whose anniversary is tomorrow, which value nobody has mentioned in a month. Ellie remembers, and she is the same agent whether you talk to her in the app, in Slack, or through your own AI tools.
Honest status.
Shipped means you can use it today. Coming means we are building it and will not pretend otherwise.
If any of this sounds like the programme you wish you had, let's talk.
