It's all recorded.
It respects both people's times because I can send it when I'm free and they can listen when they become free.
And that's the long and the short of it.
Yeah.
So it's similar to Slack.
So you got a free tier.
We really learned early on that a lot of people were using this personally at a professional level.
Like I said, a freelancer talking to their clients or
a startup founder talking to investors, or even a coach or a mentor talking to their students.
And that kind of like one-to-many aspect with one person who's doing the majority of the communication talking to a lot of people, we definitely allow you to do for free.
And that enables things like nonprofits and communities to kind of run for free on Yak.
Now, as soon as you want to upgrade to a team plan, you get things like our Slack integration, group messaging,
better transcription insights.
We actually pull out action items and to-dos from the transcription.
All that stuff's on the paid plan.
And we've got standard annual and monthly.
We started out with three different plans and that was just confusing.
So we officially launched in 2019, but the app was actually built November of 2018 as kind of a free hackathon project.
Put it out there and the reaction was really good.
And so we decided to spin it off as its own venture-backed startup.
