Company Background
Founded in 2023 by Prashanth YV and Vivek Karna, Zivy aims to create a personalized copilot for managers and team leads, helping them stay organized and enhance work management efficiency.
The platform is designed to minimize distractions caused by the constant influx of notifications, which can impede productivity. The company believes that improving manager productivity is key to building high-performing teams.
Product Features
Zivy is meticulously designed to streamline workflows and boost productivity by simplifying communication and optimizing work performance.
The tool’s initial release integrates seamlessly with Slack, analyzing conversations and tasks to prioritize the most important information. By filtering out less critical messages, Zivy ensures that managers receive only the most urgent and relevant updates, allowing them to focus on essential tasks and improve overall productivity.
The platform encourages users to enter a “flow state”—a highly productive mental state achieved when one is fully immersed in a task. Regularly experiencing deep work sessions through Zivy can transform mindsets, leading to greater satisfaction and excitement in the creative process and problem-solving.
This intelligent categorization and prioritization of messages are central to Zivy’s mission of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of managerial roles in the workplace.
