Do they support WFH setups?

The parent might be referring to us: https://workmode.net/. Most of our clients work from home. Do you have a specific concern about body doubling and working from home?

Some unsolicited feedback (please feel free to ignore):

When I click on "Pricing" in the nav bar, it scrolls down, and the first thing that catches my eye is "$2100 / month". I happened to see this time that this is the benefit you're projecting and it is actually $2.50/hour. On the previous times I've visited your website based on your HN comments, I've always thought $2100/month was what you were going to charge me and closed the tab.

I've been frustrated myself that people don't read what's right there on the page when they come to my startup app's landing page. Turns out I do the same. Hope this helps you improve the layout / font sizes and such "information hierarchy" so the correct information is conveyed at a glance.

IMHO $2.50/hour is great value, and stands on its own. I know how much my time is worth, so perhaps the page doesn't really have to shout that to convince me.

Again, please feel free to ignore this as it is quite possible that it is just me with the attention span of a goldfish with CTE while clicking around new websites.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but what you wrote makes total sense and explains the engagement issues we’re seeing with the calculator and the pricing section.

Most of our clients have issues with attention span, so your feedback is gold :-) Again, thank you!

Welcome! btw this is how it looked: https://i.imgur.com/qg8gNJF.png

I understand if the window were taller, I'd have seen the actual price cards. I think it's just that when you click "Pricing", you expect the next obvious number you see to be the price.

Clever service! I assume your employees watch several people at once. Is it engaging enough work for them?

Yes, they monitor several people simultaneously. Most clients ask us to check in on their progress every 15–30 minutes, and these interactions can last anywhere from a few seconds to three minutes, depending on the client and the challenges they're facing. It might be boring when working with a single person, but it gets more challenging as more people connect.

Also, we do more than just body doubling. Some clients need to follow a morning ritual before starting their work (think meditation, a quick house cleanup, etc.). Sometimes, we perform sanity checks on their to-do lists (people often create tasks that are too vague or vastly underestimate the time needed to complete them). We ask them to apply the 2-minute rule, and so on. It all depends on the client's needs.

That’s interesting, I never considered something like that.

But at that low price, surely you have a bunch of customers being watched by each employee, and then talking to only one at a time — isn’t it distracting to see your “double” chatting away with the sound off?

No, nobody has ever complained about it (and yes, we did ask). When we first started, we were really concerned about it, so we tried to move as little as possible, avoid hand gestures, and so on. However, it turned out to be a non-issue.

Fun fact: I’d estimate that 50% of users don’t even look at their Productivity Partner while they work. WorkMode runs in another tab, and users rarely switch back to it. They don’t need to see us - they just need to know we’re watching. I’m in that group.

Also, there are co-working spaces in VRChat, which works wonders for me.

I went to the Glass Office co-working space to study for exams this summer and it worked out really well. I also met some nice people there.

A standalone Quest 3 is enough to get you started.
