Welcome back to the “Mondayest” week of the year.

If you’re like us, you’ve probably spent the last few weeks disconnecting, recharging, and enjoying a classic Kiwi summer (or a cozy winter, depending on where you’re reading this from). But now the laptop is open, the coffee is brewing, and the calendar invites are already starting to pile up.

It’s the time of year when we all make big promises to ourselves. We vow to clear the inbox every day, to actually take our lunch breaks, and to finally get on top of that project management board.

But here’s the thing: willpower alone doesn’t fix a broken workflow.

At Ripple, we believe that 2026 shouldn’t just be about working harder to keep up. It should be about finding a way to meet better and work smarter.

The Resolution: Give Your Team Their Time Back

We know the feeling. You start the year with fresh energy, but by February, you’re back to back-to-back Zoom calls and 60-minute meetings for 10-minute problems. You’re stuck in “notification overload,” and the actual work - the stuff you care about - gets pushed to the margins.

We built Ripple because we believe technology should give you time back, not take more of it. We’re championing human-centred automation - tech that handles the admin, the summaries, and the scheduling, so you can focus on the creative, human connection that actually moves the needle.

A Quick Word from the Team

At Ripple, we’re powered by Kiwi ingenuity - that drive to find a smarter, better way to get things done. We’re a team that believes technology should serve people, not the other way around.

That’s why we’re so excited for the year ahead. We’re rolling out new ways to dismantle silos and eliminate the “status update” meeting for good. We’re here to help you shift the dial from aimless discussions to clear, actionable outcomes.

Ready to try something different?

If you’re looking at your calendar for the year ahead and thinking, “There has to be a better way,” we’d love to help you find it.

Ripple is designed to swap the clutter for clarity, helping you move from prep to progress without the meeting madness. You can jump in and set up your first workspace in minutes - no heavy lifting required.
