Pesto is a digital workplace that promotes intuitive and authentic communication and collaboration. Employees customize their avatar in the workplace, which takes the place of video to be less fatiguing and more personable. Then, they create a variety of rooms – organized spaces for audio-first collaboration that include video, screenshare, games, or spatial features. Together, avatars and rooms empower employees to work together in ways that are more organic and immersive.
