Hoogly

What is Hoogly?

Hoogly is an HR platform that swaps yearly engagement surveys for AI conversations. Its assistant, Venn, chats one to one with each employee inside Slack, Teams, or Google Chat about workload, wellbeing, and blockers. Answers are anonymised and turned into team insights, and leaders get AI coaching to build action plans.

Top Features:

• Conversational check-ins: an AI partner talks privately with every employee on your chosen schedule.
• Sentiment insights: anonymised answers become team-level themes, risks, and wins in one dashboard.
• Leadership coaching: managers get tailored action plans and micro-learning based on feedback.

Use Cases:

• Pulse checks: replace the annual survey with regular check-ins that people actually answer.
• Burnout alerts: spot rising workload stress in a team before it becomes resignations.
• Manager support: give new team leads coaching on how to respond to feedback.

Who Can Use Hoogly?

• HR teams: gather honest employee feedback without chasing long surveys every quarter.
• People leaders: see what blocks each team and get guidance on next steps.
• Founders: keep a pulse on culture as a small company grows.
