Gather vs. HeyTaco

Gather is a virtual office where remote teams can meet, chat, and interact like they’re in person. See who’s around, join conversations without scheduling a thing, and create a space that’s as unique as your team. Most remote collaboration tools are built for meetings. Gather is built for the moments in between. 💬 Collaborate instantly: See who's free, focused, or in a meeting. Wave them over or walk up and start talking. No scheduling, no links. 👂 Hear what's happening around you: Spatial audio lets you hear nearby conversations and join in a click.

HeyTaco is employee recognition that lives inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Every team member gets 5 tacos a day to give to teammates. Mention a colleague, add a 🌮, and say thanks. The shoutout appears right in the channel for everyone to see. There's no new app to log into and nothing to learn. Recognition happens where work already happens. The daily limit is on purpose. It keeps appreciation spread fairly across the team, stops favoritism, and turns a thank-you into a daily habit instead of something that happens once a quarter.
