“We have a lot of new managers who are struggling with basic skills – feedback, expectation setting, career conversations, and dealing with low performance. It’s impacting business outcomes.”
“We invested a lot of time and energy on our manager workshops, but managers are slipping back into old habits. Without reinforcement, managers are struggling to apply what we taught them.”
“Our HR team is having to handhold managers through difficult conversations and team situations that they should know how to navigate. We’re losing time for strategic work!”

Kona can integrate to the tools your team is used to, so you don't take them out of their flow.
24/7, on-demand expert leadership advice. Custom document uploads and admin features
Everything in Kona is 100% confidential! We take privacy very seriously, which is why transcripts are never stored and deleted immediately after the meeting ends. Kona shares bullet point recaps, action items, and coaching observations with you in Slack, but doesn't include verbatim quotes from the transcript.
Any conversations happening in Slack DMs with Kona are also completely private. Admin users can have access to anonymized data to assess usage and trends, but we never share any of the contents from private DMs. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
Anyone with edit access to Google Calendar events can add Kona to their meeting by inviting bot@heykona.com. For recurring meetings, make sure the change affects future meetings.
From there, Kona joins the meeting and takes notes, action items, and unique coaching observations. Any manager with Kona access will receive all of these in Slack, with unique coaching observations based on how they presented in the meeting. Teammates and individual contributors will only receive notes and action items.
At the moment, Kona only supports Slack. You can join our Microsoft Teams waitlist to get notified when the feature is available!
Kona supports Google Meet and Zoom meetings. Feel free to chat with our team to see how Kona can best work with your tool stack.
After the meeting, Kona sends a DM to you over Slack with the meeting recap, action items, and coaching observations it gathered. These AI-generated messages are stored in Kona's Meeting Notes Hub, a web platform that helps keep your notes searchable and organized.
We know growth and development isn't unique to just managers. At the moment, Kona only coaches managers. However, we are adding more individual contributor functionality every day. Talk to our team to see what's in the works!
