Great question. We are actually surprised more than anything that existing products aren't better. Other companies' algo work DID get disrupted by reasoning models, because newer m…

2019-2020: We prototyped lots of telepresence ideas, our work shown here: https://siemprecollective.com/ 2020-2022: We built https://gather.town , which during COVID blew up across…

Ah to be clear, the team is staffed well enough on Gather that the experience will be equal, if not better, than what you've been using already. So we haven't been telling customer…

Yep, the other commenter is right--85% is helpful AND accurate. I'd love for you to give it a try and see if 85% is not good enough though. There's always more to push on quality a…

Yep, makes a lot of sense. We architected our system to be easy to self-host & open-source in the future for this very reason, though we decided to launch with hosted because it's …

No self-hosted version yet. You would need to trust us in the same way you trust your other SaaS apps that host company IP (e.g. Slack, Notion, Github, etc.) I get that's a big ask…

The Gather work product is unfortunately going into maintenance mode. We still have a strong team working on the core AV and performance, and the business is very decent and more t…

Our experience, especially with the most recent reasoning models, is that the LLM's are a lot better now at sifting through the garbage. So if you last gave these products a try mo…

Thanks for using it! Any feedback on what could be made better? And did you guys try any of the alternatives before using Grapevine?

Fortunately, Grapevine is just the name of our system, we let people white-label their Slack bot when they actually set it up :)

I can't speak for other people, but our strong opinion about how companies should work is to reduce the massive amount of chores and tedium that exist in our work days today. With …

In terms of what businesses we're targeting: we wanted to provide either 1.) a turnkey solution for a company GPT for all the people who don't have it yet, or 2.) a higher quality …

Hi HN! We built Grapevine ( https://getgrapevine.ai ), a knowledge search system for AI agents that connects Slack, GDrive, Notion, codebases, and more. Our first app is a company …

tl;dr, We built an internal GPT that connects to all your data sources (Slack, Notion, Gdrive, codebase, etc.) and it works remarkably well. Don’t take our word for it though, you …

Hey Cory! CEO of Gather.Town here. Connection issues are always our top priority, and at this point, we're chasing down and squashing the last 1% of bugs. If you run into this in t…

As another commenter mentioned, we support this already! It was one of the first features we built, because our first paid customers were academic conferences. You can check it out…

One of the most important features here for work is actually explicitly not doing always-on camera/mic. We have a setting that makes it so that when you're not looking at the tab, …

Yup! Feel free to email us at hello@gather.town , and provide these details, and we'll figure something out.

Thanks for the really thoughtful feedback. I definitely hear this, and I think it would be crazy for us to think that we can build a single tool that will be useful across all rang…

I see! I think another angle, is to first create a virtual analog of a workplace, but then since it's virtual, it's super flexible and easy to experiment with. I think there's only…

Good question. We have made a particular point of not involving traditional VC, at least not at this current moment (and besides YC). We're currently growing off of revenue, and ha…
