Simple work apps

Simple work apps is a collection of Slack-integrated tools designed to boost team engagement and employee satisfaction. The suite includes a birthday celebration app, a coffee chat pairing app, a polls and surveys app, and a round-robin rotation app. Each app installs in about a minute and works entirely within Slack, making it easy for HR and People Ops teams to run engagement activities without switching platforms.

The apps focus on solving common remote-work problems: missed birthdays, lack of casual interaction, and difficulty gathering honest feedback. The birthday app automatically notifies the team and creates a celebration thread. The coffee chat app pairs colleagues randomly for virtual coffee breaks, which the company says can increase cross-team collaboration by 25%. Polls and surveys support anonymous responses and live results. The round-robin app helps distribute tasks fairly. Simple work apps also offers optional onboarding calls, video tutorials, and 24/7 support.

This tool is best suited for HR teams, People Operations professionals, and managers of remote or hybrid teams who want a low-friction way to improve company culture. It's a practical, no-frills solution — not an AI tool, but a set of well-designed Slack bots that handle the logistics of team engagement so you don't have to.
