7 Ways to use Carbon Voice in your team’s daily workflow

1. Replace calls and meetings 📅

In the moments when you find that text and email aren't enough to convey the nuance of complex discussions, don’t default into scheduling a call or meeting. Starting a discussion on Carbon Voice gives you the richness of voice dialogue and immediately gets the conversation going without waiting for schedules to align. Transcription and AI-powered meeting summaries and insights make catching-up, taking notes and sharing actions items easy. And even if a live meeting is required later, it becomes more productive and focused, since many points have been pre-discussed.

Avoid another meeting

2. Disseminate information after an important meeting 🚀

Quickly share meeting takeaways or action items with your team after important meetings, particularly when you’re on-the-go and moving between back-to-back meetings. Rather than waiting for an opportune moment to type out lengthy emails or text messages, you can quickly voice out your thoughts or instructions, ensuring you don’t forget key information and your team stays updated and engaged, no matter how packed your schedule might be. Copy & paste transcripts right into your workflow, whether that’s a CRM, chatGPT, an email or another document.

Staying in Sync with the Team

3. Share thoughts on-the-go 🏃‍♂️

Busy schedule? The best ideas often come when we’re not in front of a computer, while we’re on -the-move or during downtime. So the next time a great idea comes to you, whether that’s while you're walking the dog, doing the dishes, or waiting for the kids at school pick-up, instead of trying to jump on another call, share it out with Carbon Voice — get your thoughts out and a conversation going without waiting for a meeting or call. And, this also gives people an opportunity to thoughtfully reply with their perspective without being put on the spot in the setting of a traditional sync meeting.

Capture your thoughts for later

4. Give in-the-moment feedback 👍

Timely feedback for improvement or just to say “great job”, is vital for a healthy, thriving team. Carbon Voice makes it easy to quickly share this feedback immediately after in a way that conveys empathy, a personal touch, and without the risk of forgetting before the next scheduled check-in or 1:1.

Feedback & Quick Check-ins

5. Quick check-ins ✅

Use Carbon Voice to check-in with your team. A simple message like, "Hey, how's it going?" encourages more meaningful responses and opens up conversation, like a water cooler moment. Compared to a Slack message that you might send out, which typically results in short one word replies (”good” or “fine”) or might even be perceived as micro-managing.

6. Cross timezone discussions 🌏
