Ripple Use Cases

Ripple adapts to how your team works, not the other way around.

Whether you are leading a startup, managing a marketing campaign, or running an engineering sprint, Ripple replaces the noise with clarity.

Project Management

Stop chasing updates. Start moving forward.

Managing a project often feels like herding cats - context is scattered across email threads, chat apps, and forgotten documents. Ripple centralizes everything. By grouping Jams, Tasks, and Notes into dedicated Channels, you create a single source of truth for every initiative.

• Campaign Launches: Create a dedicated Channel for your launch. Use Jams to share creative briefs and video updates asynchronously so that stakeholders can review assets on their own time. Use Tasks to track deliverables from design to deployment, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

• Sprint Planning: Move your stand-ups to a recurring Jam. Developers can post quick video updates on what they are blocked on, allowing the team to resolve issues asynchronously. Reserve live Calls only for complex blockers that truly need a face-to-face discussion.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Silos are the enemy of speed. When Marketing needs to sync with Engineering, don’t rely on email chains where files go to die. Create a shared Channel for the initiative. Use Jams to demo product updates so the marketing team can watch when they’re ready, and keep the launch plan in a shared Note so everyone is singing from the same song sheet.

Meetings & Alignment

The cure for meeting madness.

Most meetings could have been an email - or better yet, a Ripple Jam. We help you flip the script: share context first, meet second. This “Flipped Meeting Model” ensures that when you do get together, you are making decisions, not just sharing status updates.

• Weekly Stand-ups: Instead of a round-robin video call where everyone tunes out, have the team record 3-minute video updates in a Jam. Review them when you have coffee, and use the comments section to unblock teammates immediately.

• Board & Strategy Reviews: Circulate pre-read decks and context via a Jam days before the meeting. Use the async discussion to answer clarifying questions before the call starts. When the live meeting begins, skip the presentation and go straight to strategy and decision-making.

• 1:1 Syncs: Keep a running private Note shared between you and your direct report. Add agenda items throughout the week as they come up. If the list is short, handle it async in a Direct Chat; if it’s hefty, use the time for a focused, meaningful conversation.

Knowledge & Documentation

One brain for your entire business.

Valuable insights shouldn’t vanish when the Zoom call ends. Ripple automatically captures and indexes your conversations, turning temporary chats into permanent knowledge.

• Team Handbooks: Build your internal wiki using Notes. Document processes, brand guidelines, and “how-to” guides in a shared, co-authored space that lives right next to your daily work.

• Meeting Minutes, Automated: Never take minutes again. For every live Call, Ripple generates a transcript and an AI-powered summary of key decisions. These are stored in the relevant Jam or Channel, creating a searchable history of why decisions were made, not just what was decided.

• Onboarding New Hires: Instead of overwhelming new starters with forwarded emails, add them to your team’s Channel. They can scroll back through previous Jams and Notes to get up to speed on project history and context instantly, without needing a handover meeting.

Remote & Hybrid Collaboration

Work from anywhere, without feeling disconnected.

Ripple was built for teams that aren’t always in the same room - or the same time zone. By prioritizing asynchronous communication, we level the playing field so that “remote” doesn’t mean “out of the loop”.

• Cross-Time Zone Handovers: A team in London can finish their day by posting a Jam update with a video summary. The team in New Zealand watches it over their morning coffee, picks up the tasks, and keeps the project moving. Work progresses 24/7 without anyone needing to wake up at 3 AM.

• Flexible Work Schedules: Parents or caregivers can catch up on discussions via Jams when it suits them, rather than stressing about missing a mandated 9 AM call. Participation is measured by contribution (Engagement), not just attendance.

• Async Brainstorming: Run a creative session in a Jam over 48 hours. Team members can drop in ideas, files, and sketches when inspiration strikes, rather than being forced to be creative on command during a 30-minute slot.

Product & Engineering

Ship faster with less friction.

Engineers need deep work, not constant interruptions. Ripple clears the noise so your technical team can focus on the code, while still keeping stakeholders aligned.

• Bug Triage: Report bugs via a Task linked directly to a screen recording in a Jam. Developers can see the issue, discuss the fix in the thread, and move the task to “In Progress” on the Kanban board - all without a triage meeting.

• Design Reviews: Designers can upload mockups to a Jam. The product team leaves feedback via comments and video annotations. Decisions are made async, and the final agreed specs are captured in a Note linked to the project Channel.

• Retrospectives: Run your sprint retro in a Jam. Team members post what went well and what didn’t during the week. Ripple’s sentiment tracking helps identify if the team is feeling burnt out or confident, flagging issues before they become problems.
