Kudos, values, and coins for Slack and the web

Recognition your team actually uses

Pulsido turns a quick thank-you into a kudos card tied to your values. People add coins, the weekly round keeps everyone joining in, and analytics show who's recognized and who's being missed.

Free during early access. No credit card.

How it works

Up and running before your next standup

Ten company values come ready to use, so nobody starts from a blank page.

  1. 1

    Create your company

    Sign up with Google, Microsoft, Slack, or email, and invite your team. Rename or replace the starter values whenever you like.

  2. 2

    Add Pulsido to Slack

    Install the app, pick a kudos channel, and invite people from Pulsido. Type /kudos in any channel and it opens.

  3. 3

    Turn on the weekly round

    Pick a day. Pulsido posts the kickoff, a midday nudge, a last call, and a recap of the day's kudos for you.

Recognition

Everything a thank-you needs, in under a minute

One composer on the web, on phones, and in Slack. The same fields in the same order everywhere, so people learn it once.

Give kudos

Say what happened. Pulsido makes it look like it mattered.

Pick a few people or the whole company, choose a value, write what they did, and add coins or a GIF. The preview shows exactly what lands on the feed and in Slack.

  • Send to one person, several, or everyone at once
  • Public on the feed, or private to the people involved
  • GIF search built into the composer
  • Coins left to give are always on screen

Values

Every kudos is tied to one of your company values

Each kudos type is a value with its own color and emoji. Over time you see which values your culture actually runs on, and which only live on the wall.

  • Ten starter values, or create your own
  • Reserve some types for admins, for lightweight awards
  • Archive a type and keep its history

Coins

Coins that are fair, and easy to budget

Everyone gets an allowance to give that resets on your schedule. Coins people earn never expire. A per-person limit stops two friends trading coins back and forth, and the budget check shows the most it could cost.

  • Allowance resets weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or quarterly
  • Call them coins, beans, high-fives, whatever fits
  • Teammates can add their own coins to a kudos they agree with
Coin settings: rename the coin, a monthly allowance with a budget check, and a per-person limit
People

See what each person is known for

Every profile shows kudos received and given, coins earned, and the values a person is recognized for. Bring it to one-on-ones and reviews instead of trying to remember.

Slack

Lives where your team already talks

Pulsido works fully on the web and on phones. Add Slack and kudos show up in the channel your company actually reads.

Every kudos lands as a card people stop to read

/kudos anywhere

Opens a form right in Slack: people, value, coins, message, and a GIF.

Private when it should be

Private kudos arrive as a direct message to the people involved.

Channels you choose

Name a kudos channel and invite people to it from Pulsido.

Weekly round

A ritual that runs itself

Recognition fades when nobody remembers to do it. The weekly round makes it a habit.

Kickoff, reminders, and a recap, on your schedule

Pick a day and time zone. Pulsido posts a kickoff, a midday nudge, a last call, and a recap listing the day's public kudos to your kudos channel. Run it every week, every two weeks, or monthly.

  • Reword, retime, or switch off each message
  • Optional @here on the kickoff and the last call
  • Posts at the right local time, daylight saving included
Weekly round settings: name, day, frequency, time zone, and the kickoff message with an @here toggle
Analytics

Know who's recognized, and who's being missed

Live dashboards, not a spreadsheet you download once a quarter.

Participation, values, and coins at a glance

See kudos sent, participation, active givers, and coins given, compared with the previous period. Weekly trends show whether the habit is sticking, and the values chart shows what your culture rewards.

  • Pick any date range
  • Export any view to CSV
  • Everyone gets their own activity history, with export

Built in

The details that make recognition stick

Made for phones

Every screen works on a phone, so frontline teams can join without a laptop or a Slack seat.

Permissions in plain words

Decide who can send private kudos, kudos to everyone, and new types: all members, admins only, or no one.

Reactions and comments

People react, comment, and add coins on the feed, so one thank-you turns into a conversation.

Values coverage

See which values each person is recognized for. It's useful in reviews and in spotting quiet contributors.

Your data, exportable

Activity and analytics export to CSV whenever you need them.

Budget you can predict

Allowances, per-person limits, and a budget check keep coin spend inside a number you choose.
