Tabby is actually the name of our mascot (Tability.io). I agree that OKRs are context dependant, and you can add a lot of context in the box to get better suggestions (ex: We have an eCommerce platform selling mainly _____, and we want to double the number of returning customer).

That being said, the goal for us was to help people get a draft plan that they can tweak later. For instance, I don't know anything about PR, but I can ask the AI to generate a plan to get press and use that as a starting point.

We've also experimented with an AI that looks at past data to provide better advice, but you'd have to be in the product to see it.

I hear you. I think OKRs suffer from having a lot of literature covering the surface (benefits of OKRs, general definitions, success stories...) but not a lot of content providing a prescriptive approach.

To me it feels a bit like structuring a JS/TS app. You've got powerful tools, but it can quickly become a mess without a good structure around it.

My general recommendation: no one should have more than 7 KRs to track on a weekly basis. And an OKR plan should be a 3x4 matrix: 3 Objectives and 4 KRs/Objective.

Thanks for the feedback. Part of the motivation was to remove the pain out of having to figure out what your OKRs should look like.

It won't be perfect, but usually the AI can come up with a good draft.

For developers that might be true that voice/video call is not happening often but I don't think that other business functions would share the same perspective. The ability to call, video conference and easily share images and docs is an important need for collaboration in Design, Marketing, Product Management and as a PM I often had to share screenshots back with engineers to illustrate what I'm talking about. Then, from my experience large orgs do not want to have multiple chat systems that compete with each other internally, so they'll take the one that offer more versatility while being also easy to use.

Disclaimer: I'm an ex-Atlassian (Product Manager) and my feedback is genuine, coming from experience. I'm also super happy to see my ex-co-workers getting Stride out but my opinion is not a Marketing plot. Software now requires the collaboration of many different roles, many of them who would prefer Slack/Stride over IRC.

I think you are referring to stickiness - which doesn't infer that the product is intuitive.

If you can't use a product right away without help then it is not intuitive by definition. However it doesn't mean you won't like it if taught how to extract value.

For instance it's not intuitive to deep fry a banana and then put salt on it before eating it, but I'm quite certain you will finish the plate once you try it.

Pipelines PM here. The model is a bit different, it's a pay as you go per blocks of 1,000 minutes. So if you normally use an extra 2,800 minutes per month you'll pay $30/month usually, but if for some reasons youd don't use it as much and drop to 1,500 extra minutes the next month you'll pay $20 for that month instead of $30/month every month of the year. For this reason we don't carry over minutes month to month.
