The Ultimate Productivity Hacks for Teams

How Ripple is addressing the biggest barriers to productivity in modern teams.

We’ve all been there. It’s Monday morning, you open your laptop, and your calendar looks like a game of Tetris gone wrong. You’re double-booked, the “quick catch-ups” are bleeding into your focus time, and you’re already wondering when you’ll actually get to do the work you were hired for.

At Ripple, we reckon the modern workflow is a bit broken. We aren’t anti-meeting, but we are definitely anti-wasting time.

We looked at the biggest headaches teams face every day and built a way to sort them out. Here’s how we’re clearing the decks to help you meet better and work smarter.

The Problem: The “This Could Have Been an Email” Meeting

We all know the pain of sitting through a 60-minute meeting to solve a 10-minute problem. Conversations go in circles, the loudest voice in the room dominates, and you leave wondering what was actually decided.

The Ripple Fix: We flip the script with Jams. Instead of starting with a live meeting, you start asynchronously. You share context, updates, and files in a Jam first. This means when you do meet live, you’re only discussing the stuff that actually needs a human conversation - like blockers or big decisions. The result? Meetings are shorter, focused, and you aren’t starting from scratch every time you jump on a call.

The Problem: Information Silos

Ever spent twenty minutes trying to find that one file version, or chasing a colleague just to get a status update? When information lives in ten different tabs - Slack, email, Drive, Jira - context gets lost, and version control becomes a nightmare. It’s even worse when a team member leaves, and their knowledge walks out the door with them.

The Ripple Fix: We believe in a single source of truth. Ripple keeps your files, comments, decisions, and edits in one shared space. It’s searchable and transparent. Whether you’re onboarding a new hire or looking back at a decision made three months ago, the history is right there. No more chasing updates; the context is always just a click away.

The Problem: The “What Did We Decide?” Post-Meeting Amnesia

You finish a great meeting, everyone feels good, and then… nothing happens. Decisions get forgotten, or worse, rehashed a week later because no one took clear notes. Action items fall through the cracks because ownership wasn’t assigned.

The Ripple Fix: We let the tech handle the admin. Ripple generates instant summaries, key decisions, and action items automatically. Tasks are assigned with clear owners and deadlines right then and there. It turns a conversation into a commitment, without you having to play secretary.

The Bottom Line

Work shouldn’t feel like a struggle against your own tools. We built Ripple to reduce the noise and bring a bit of clarity back to teamwork. It’s about using Kiwi ingenuity to solve a global problem: giving you your time back so you can get on with the good stuff.
