SoWork

SoWork is a virtual office platform designed for remote and distributed teams. Instead of filling a calendar with scheduled calls, team members appear as avatars in a shared, customizable office map where you can immediately see who is available, busy, or in a meeting. Walking your avatar over to a colleague starts a video conversation instantly, which the company frames as replacing a large share of routine meetings. Users can switch to a Simple Mode for deep focus or a Mini Mode that stays connected while working in other apps, and meeting status syncs automatically from calendar events. On top of that spatial layer, SoWork has added AI features that give the office a memory. Meetings can be recorded, transcribed in real time, summarized, and saved so the whole team can search past decisions. An Insights module reports how the team actually works — time spent in meetings, focus time, and who collaborates with whom — in a weekly report. Chat channels, threads, and direct messages live in the same place as meetings, and integrations cover Slack, Zapier, Miro, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook. More recently SoWork has opened an MCP/API layer so external assistants such as Claude can query who is around, what happened in a meeting, or what the team decided, and it is building a feature that gives every AI agent its own desk in the office so you can see what each one is working on. The product is rated 4.9 out of 5 on G2, offers a free 7-day trial, and includes a Freemium entry point alongside paid tiers.
