Why traditional 1:1s fail

Most 1:1s start with awkward silence and end with forgotten action items. Here's what goes wrong:

No preparation time

Managers juggle 5-10+ direct reports. There's simply no time to properly prepare for each meeting.

Lost context between meetings

What did we discuss last time? What were the action items? Important threads get dropped.

Surface-level discussions

Without context on recent work and challenges, conversations stay shallow instead of strategic.

Forgotten follow-ups

Action items and important feedback get lost in notebooks or scattered across different tools.

Frequently asked questions

How does Windmill access our information, and what integrations are supported?

Windmill connects to supported platforms (Slack, Google Workspace, Linear, GitHub, Notion, etc.) via secure integrations. Each integration is authorized by the customer. Available integrations are listed on the 'Integrations' page. For systems without direct API connections, Windmill can pick up inputs if such systems post to Slack or Google Docs. However, native integrations are preferred, and the team adds new ones at a rate of 2-3 per month. Custom integration requests are typically turned around in about two days.

Is there a way to get a report summarizing the week—what was started, what's been blocked, and what was completed?

Yes. Windmill provides a weekly recap report that compiles information from all integrated systems and conversations, producing a summary for each employee and the team as a whole. This is automated via a routine you schedule, so managers can quickly review what was accomplished, blocked, or deprioritized each week.

How does Windmill work in Slack?

For each routine, Windy sends your team prompts via individual Slack conversations. Employees then respond to Windy in the Slack thread and have a quick conversation. Once responses are complete, Windy compiles the information into clean, insightful reports, helping keep teams aligned. Everything submitted via Slack is organized and stored in Windmill, but from the user's point of view, it feels like a natural extension of their daily workflow.

How do you address privacy and data security concerns? Are you SOC 2 compliant?

We take privacy seriously and are SOC 2 compliant. You can request our SOC 2 report for more details. Controls include robust data encryption, permissions management, and transparency about data use. Sensitive feedback collection is customizable, including options for anonymity, visibility, and opt-in routines to ensure you remain compliant and comfortable with privacy standards.

Will employees actually respond to Windy? What response rates do you see relative to surveys through Lattice or 15:5?

Yes. Windy is designed to have lightweight, non-disruptive conversations with employees that are built into the flow of work. As a result, we see very high response rates versus traditional tools like Lattice. Conversations with Windy feel less like a formal survey and more like a quick check-in, so people are more likely to engage.
