What is Waggle?
Waggle is an AI-powered leadership coach and team performance analytics platform that helps managers improve their leadership skills through real-time feedback on their meetings. The AI bot attends meetings run by managers, listens to discussions, and provides instant feedback on over 150 leadership skills immediately after each meeting. It acts like a dedicated on-field coach that helps managers grow continuously without requiring workshops or time away from work.
Key features include AI-generated agendas for all meeting types including 1:1s, unlimited meeting notes with an AI-feedback loop, daily AI-driven insights to optimize your day, automated action items, calendar integration with Google and Outlook to spot unnecessary meetings, and a dashboard where managers check their skills practice and agreed actions. The platform tracks team health daily, measures meeting effectiveness, quantifies wasted time and money, spots emerging team issues, identifies critical skill gaps, and predicts performance in advance. Leaders see only aggregated team-level trends while individual feedback stays completely private to each manager.
Waggle is designed for managers, team leaders, CEOs, engineering managers, People Directors, and executives who run meetings and want to improve their leadership skills. It's ideal for companies wanting to fix team performance issues without surveys or monitoring, organizations looking to reduce unproductive meetings, and teams working remotely. The tool integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, Google Calendar, and Outlook, plugging into tools teams already use without requiring workflow changes or training.

Frequently asked questions about Waggle
What is Waggle and how does it work?
Waggle is your AI-powered guide for better leadership and stronger team dynamics. It's an AI bot that attends meetings your Manager runs and admits into, listens to the meeting, and processes information to support the manager's development. It provides real-time support and insights to managers, helping them improve their leadership skills and meeting effectiveness. Waggle gives feedback to managers on how to improve their own leadership skills and only shares those insights with them.
Does Waggle monitor or evaluate team members?
No. Waggle's AI bot tracks the behaviours and skills of the Manager only. It does not track a team member's skills and does not evaluate a team member during a meeting. It is not used for performance monitoring of team members. Individual feedback stays completely private to each person – leaders never see individual-level data. Waggle was built to be a tool for self-development, not monitoring.
How does Waggle benefit team members?
Waggle benefits the team because it helps your manager improve their leadership and meeting facilitation skills. It provides the manager with actionable insights and feedback on their performance, allowing them to enhance meeting effectiveness and productivity. By supporting the manager's growth, it improves the overall team experience. Team members only have access to public meeting notes added by the Manager, participants, or themselves.
What integrations does Waggle support?
Waggle integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, Google Calendar, and Outlook. It plugs into the tools your team already uses and connects in minutes without training needed or workflow changes. If you use other tools, you can let them know during your demo as they're constantly adding new integrations based on customer needs.
How long does it take to see results from Waggle?
You'll get your first team insights within a week of setup. Most companies see measurable improvements in meeting effectiveness within the first month and significant team performance improvements within 90 days. Waggle spots warning signs weeks earlier than traditional methods that only show problems after deadlines are missed.
Does Waggle add work to anyone's workload?
No. Waggle works passively in the background during meetings your team already has. Managers spend about 5 minutes reviewing their feedback after meetings, but this is optional. There are no new meetings to schedule, no training sessions to attend, and no forms to fill out. The whole point is improving team performance without adding to anyone's workload. Your team will forget it's there.
How is Waggle's data privacy and security handled?
Individual feedback stays completely private to each person – leaders never see individual-level data. They only show aggregated team trends to leadership. Waggle uses bank-level encryption, is ISO 27001 compliant, and stores all data in secure EU-based servers. They're GDPR compliant in all regions, SOC2 compliant, and will never use your data for training their AI or share it with third parties.
Is Waggle suitable for new and experienced managers?
Yes. New managers get the guidance they need to develop good habits from day one. Experienced managers get insights to fine-tune their leadership skills and adapt to changing team dynamics. Everyone gets personalized feedback based on their specific strengths and growth areas.
Does Waggle work for different industries and team sizes?
Absolutely. While team dynamics have common patterns across industries, Waggle customizes certain metrics for your specific context. They work with companies in tech, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and professional services – each with their own communication styles and leadership needs. Waggle works for teams of any size. You can start with a single department and expand company-wide, or implement across your entire organization at once.
How accurate and validated is Waggle's feedback?
Waggle's assessments are based on actual behavior in meetings, not self-reported surveys that people can game. They've validated their metrics against established leadership frameworks and performance outcomes across thousands of meetings. 87% of managers report that Waggle's feedback aligns exactly with what their coaches and mentors have told them. The AI checks over 150 leadership skills and provides context-based suggestions.
