About WaterCooler

The WaterCooler is a Slack bot that encourages your team to get to know each other. It pairs up those that are online and encourages you to take 5 minutes to talk about something not related to work.

Compassionate scheduling

• The WaterCooler bot tries hard to only schedule socials for people who are online on a given day. Being paired up for a social with someone who isn't online is a missed opportunity to get to know your peers! It automatically excludes those that are on vacation or out sick.

Variety is the spice of life

• Irrespective of how much you like someone it can get repetitive if you talk to them every single day. The WaterCooler bot does its best to ensure that you do not end up with the same person many days in a row.

Opt-in We are all different. Some of us like socializing. Others find it exhausting and would rather not. You can easily make the WaterCooler bot an opt-in experience.
