The office where your team actually meets.

Why NestWork?

Remote work made the smallest conversations the hardest to start.

29 minutes to start a conversation.

Conversation open

Walk over. Talk. Carry on.

A day in the space

It all starts with presence.

The office is the interface: it shows where people are, whether they are available and how to reach them.

  1. 01

    Enter your office

    Your avatar appears in the space. See at a glance who is online, busy or available.

  2. 02

    Walk up to a teammate

    Proximity opens the conversation. Everyone stays in control of their microphone, camera and Do Not Disturb status.

  3. 03

    Keep the context

    Channels, direct messages, reactions and unread counts keep the thread going after the conversation.

A real place to work

More than avatars on a map.

NestWork brings everyday team communication into one shared place without trying to replace every tool you already use.

Talk naturally

Audio and video start when teammates move closer, then stop when they walk away.

Share your screen

Review a design, a document or a bug together without leaving the space.

Continue in writing

Channels, direct messages, mentions, images and reactions stay available after the conversation.

Build your own place

Arrange desks and rooms to create an office your team recognizes as its own.

Present does not mean interruptible

You stay in control of your office.

Presence gives context, not permission to interrupt. Your microphone and camera start off, and Do Not Disturb closes the door.

Open-source project

An office your team can make its own.

NestWork is being prepared for an open-source release. The repository, code license and separation of third-party assets are currently being finalized.

  • Public code coming soon
  • Control your deployment
  • Contributions after release

Third-party visual assets remain covered by their own licenses; every source is documented on the credits page.

Guided pilot · teams of 4 to 12

We set up the office with you.

We define how your team will use the space, create access and guide the first session. Your team then uses NestWork through a real working week.

  • A space configured for your team
  • A guided team kickoff
  • An honest review of how it worked

Before you come in

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to install an app?

No. NestWork runs in a desktop web browser.

Do the microphone and camera stay on?

No. They start off and remain under each team member’s control.

Does it replace Slack or Teams?

No. NestWork adds a shared sense of place and makes spontaneous conversations easier. It works alongside the tools your team already uses.

Is the project open source?

The open-source release is in preparation. The repository and its license will become public once third-party visual assets have been properly separated.

Who is the pilot for?

Teams of 4 to 12 that regularly work the same hours, either remotely or in a hybrid setup.

The office is open

What if your team could meet there tomorrow morning?
