Chatting with Ren
You can talk to Ren about anything in the work between people: a hard piece of feedback you've been putting off, prep for a 1:1 or a tense meeting, a relationship that's stuck, or a moment you want to think through out loud.
Ren doesn't just give advice — it asks the question you're avoiding, names where you are on the Accountability Dial™, and drafts the message in your voice. Talk or type, wherever you already work.
Starting a conversation
Type into the Ask Ren… box at the bottom of your Home page and hit send. Conversations are multi-turn — keep going as long as it's useful.
You can also start conversations with context already loaded:
- Let's go on a Morning Brief opportunity — Ren opens with that observation.
- Set growth plan or Schedule 1:1 on a team member's card — Ren opens knowing who you're talking about.
How Ren gets to know you
Ren learns context from the channels it's invited to and from your own conversations with it — so its coaching is grounded in your actual work, not generic advice. The more you use it, the sharper it gets.
Talking by voice
Yes, you can talk to Ren out loud. During a coaching conversation, switch to a voice call when you'd rather think out loud than write — look for the call option on the conversation card. You can pick your microphone and speaker once the call starts.
What to ask
- "How do I give Alex feedback about missed deadlines without crushing their motivation?"
- "Help me prep for my 1:1 with Sam tomorrow."
- "My team seems checked out lately. Where do I start?"
- "That conversation went sideways. What could I have done differently?"
