Did not expect to get this into making a wonky mug. Same crew for the next pottery class? πΊ

It's also never been harder to do by hand. Here is what gets in the way.
It quietly slows the whole company down.
Disengagement stays invisible until it is expensive. Motivation dips, collaboration slows, and your best people check out long before they hand in notice. By the time it shows up in a survey, the cost is already paid in lost output and turnover.

And often, nobody has the time for it.
Polls, threads, approvals, venue hunting, chasing RSVPs, then half the team skips it anyway. Hours of work and real budget spent on events that fall flat, usually landing on someone who already has a full-time job to do.

Not across every team, office, and department.
Interests live in people's heads, not a spreadsheet. No local HR or office manager can map them across a whole company by hand. It is exactly the kind of work AI can now do: read what everyone enjoys and coordinate team-building across every department automatically.
Forced coffee chats are not connection.
When a tool pushes people into things they do not care about, they quietly opt out and HR ends up forcing it. People show up for what they already love doing in their free time. Give them that, and participation happens on its own. A real win for the company and the employee.
Four steps, all inside Slack. Set it up once, then Nodly matches people, plans the meetups, and shows you who is drifting.

Never sold
Your teamβs data powers your workspace only. We never sell or share it for advertising.
Everything HR and managers ask before adding Nodly to Slack.
Less than 10 minutes. Just connect Slack, adjust basic settings (budget, frequency, event types), and Nodly is ready to start engaging your team. No complicated onboarding or IT setup required.
It is the part of team-building nobody else automates: after learning what your people care about, Nodly coordinates the actual meetup, who is invited, when it happens, and where. Most tools stop at intros or points; Nodly handles the end-to-end coordination.
No. Nodly is not a catalog of events you book and pay per session. It is an always-on coordination layer that surveys your team, clusters them by interest, and organizes real meetups, with no per-event vendor fees.
Donut is great for quick, random intro pairings. Nodly goes further: it matches people by actual shared interests and plans the whole activity end-to-end, participants, date, time, and even venue, instead of leaving a human to organize it.
Bonusly and Matter focus on recognition and kudos. Points and praise are useful, but they do not get people in a room together. Nodly turns connection into real, coordinated meetups your team actually attends.
Nodly is free to use: full access for your whole team, with no credit card and no commitment.
Nodly is designed for HR teams, People Ops, managers, and CEOs who want to boost engagement without extra admin work. Once connected, every employee in Slack can take part in interest surveys and join activities.
Nodly only reads what it needs to coordinate activities, through transparent Slack OAuth scopes, and you can disable any feature at any time. We never sell or share employee data.
No. Nodly suggests activities people opt into, nobody is forced. Employees answer a quick survey and join the meetups that appeal to them, so turnout comes from genuine interest, not obligation.
Nodly is free to use today. If we introduce paid plans in the future, weβll give existing teams plenty of notice β thereβs nothing to cancel and no surprise charges.
Direct, personal support from the Nodly team. Youβll be able to reach out anytime with questions, feedback, or bug reports, and weβll make sure your team has a smooth experience.
Today, Nodly integrates directly with Slack. Microsoft Teams support is on our roadmap, and weβll expand based on customer needs.
Nodly proposes an activity matched to your teamβs interests, then collects RSVPs, finds a date and time that works, suggests a venue, and sends reminders, all inside Slack, with no spreadsheets or group-chat herding.
Most team tools stop short of the actual meetup. Here's where Nodly is different.
