Instant Collaboration

Remote work and online learning often lack the spontaneity of in-person interactions, creating delays in collaboration and making it difficult to get immediate help—ultimately slowing the pace of learning and work. Cosmos helps people achieve better outcomes through interactions that feel private, natural, and quick, similar to being together in a physical space.

Instant Collaboration enables users to start conversations in the moment with a single click—no scheduling or back-and-forth messaging required. Through features like Talk Now and Invite to Talk, users can initiate immediate conversations without having to share links, recreating the pace and spontaneity of in-person interactions.

Talk Now

• Move your avatar close to someone else's in the digital space to initiate a conversation
• Notifications are sent to users based on their notification preferences when a new conversation is initiated
• Signal availability with True Statuses—calls automatically start when people are in Available or Listening mode
• Unmute with one click to engage in conversation without technical barriers
• Multi-platform notifications (web, desktop, mobile, and Slack) ensure no missed connections

Invite to Talk

• Invite people to talk without juggling different platforms
• Send one-click invites to multiple people simultaneously
• Recipients receive notifications and can choose to "Talk Now" or "Talk Later"
• Calls start instantly when recipients choose to talk now—no link sharing or platform switching required
• Flexible response options respect everyone's focus and workflow

Why it matters

• Reduces friction and eliminates collaboration delays – Start valuable discussions instantly without waiting for email responses, chat replies, or scheduling meetings
• Respects focus with an intention not to distract – True Statuses ensure people are only interrupted when they're ready for interaction, creating intentional availability without constant disruption
• Recreates office spontaneity and strengthens remote culture – Brings back the natural flow of walking up to a colleague's desk, creating opportunities for spontaneous interactions that build relationships and team cohesion

Pro Tips

• Use Talk Now when you can see someone is Available and you need a quick discussion—it's the digital equivalent of walking up to their desk
• Customise your notification preferences across devices to ensure you're reachable on your preferred platform when it matters most
• Set your status to "Listening" to maintain privacy (mic and camera off) while signaling you're around for conversations
• Switch to "Focusing" or "Away" when you want to clearly signal to people that you're not available for immediate conversations
