Pesto builds team productivity and camaraderie using Agora’s Real-Time Engagement Platform

It’s a common belief that teams are more productive and creative when they are physically in the same location. But, the founders of Pesto felt there was a way to meld the benefits of working from home with the needs of team collaboration.

Through trial and error, Pesto discovered that, while video allows people to see body language and humanizes remote interactions, teams found that always being on video was exhausting. To better approximate the nuances of communication and access in a physical workspace, Pesto integrated avatars, social signals, text messaging, audio rooms, and other real-time engagement tools.
