Create an employee group
- Open the chat page and click New Group.
- Name the group. Use a task-related name that’s easy to recognize, e.g. “Competitor feature analysis” or “Multi-task board design review.”
- Pick the Leader Waker — the task owner who understands the goal, breaks down the steps, coordinates members, and consolidates results.
- Add member Wakers — mix and match by task needs, e.g. a Product Waker, an Engineering Waker, a QA Waker.
- Once created, you enter the group and can start collaborating.
Kick off a task
Type your question or goal straight into the Group Chat. Simple questions can go in as-is; for complex tasks, add context, goals, and constraints so the Leader Waker can organize the work better. For example:- “We want to design a multi-task board for the console that shows the status, member assignments, and milestone results of multiple employee-group tasks. Break it down from product design to technical solution, and give me an actionable development plan.”
- “Analyze a feature a competitor recently shipped, judge its impact on our product, and output a feature overview, key changes, opportunity assessment, and recommended actions.”
How the Leader Waker responds
After you send a task, the Leader Waker first reads your intent, then decides how to proceed: lightweight questions get answered directly or routed to a member for detail; complex tasks are broken into phases, with member assignments and a next-step plan. If the direction isn’t what you expected, correct it right in the Group Chat:- “Focus on engineering delivery — no need to expand the go-to-market section.”
- “Produce a product flow first, then move into the technical solution.”
Collaborating with member Wakers
The core value of an employee group is different Wakers dividing the work around one shared context. You can ask a specific member to fill in details or do a review, or have the Leader Waker consolidate the current conclusions:- “Engineering Waker, walk through the main technical risks of this approach.”
- “QA Waker, add edge cases and regression scenarios.”
- “Leader Waker, consolidate everyone’s conclusions so far.”
Step in and adjust anytime
You can interrupt, follow up, or change the goal at any point. Common moves:- “Where does the task stand now? Summarize it as a list.”
- “Pause the development plan — prioritize the user journey and page states first.”
- “Pull the current conclusions into a version I can send for engineering review.”
- Solution delivery — cross-role product discussion and implementation.
- Issue diagnosis — end-to-end collaboration from triaging an issue to submitting a PR.
- Software development — complex tasks that need product, engineering, and QA working together.
