We help teams work better together
Teams make good agreements. A few weeks later, the daily rush takes over again. We are there for what comes after: the moments when it matters.
What we believe
We believe an agreement only has force when the team has made it itself. That sounds obvious, and in practice it rarely is. Most rules of behaviour in organisations were thought up somewhere else and then shared. They hang on the wall, and nobody really feels bound by them.
We know a great deal about what makes collaboration stronger, but every team has its own context, patterns and challenges. So in a session we are in the room, but not at the table. The team writes for itself. We make sure the conversation goes the right way, and that what comes out of it does not disappear.
Working together is human work
AI makes one person's work faster every week. But that does not, on its own, make teams work better together. That is where we choose to be. Team coaches help teams understand each other and make their own agreements. Keepr carries those agreements into daily work. People and AI, each where they add the most.
We do it ourselves too
Our own team works with its own agreements too, and with Keepr in our own Slack. Keepr answers from what we agreed together and who decides what.

AI-driven. Human-led.
AI supports our judgement; it does not replace it.
We therefore:
- do not accept AI output blindly.
- review important content ourselves.
- verify relevant facts and assumptions where necessary.

@Keepr ChatGPT wrote this for a client proposal. Can I send it as is?
"With Fruitful, your team will collaborate 40% more effectively within two weeks, guaranteed."
I wouldn't send it as is. Your team agreed on "AI-driven. Human-led." and on reviewing important output and verifying facts and assumptions yourself. This sentence makes three claims: a number (40%), a timeline (two weeks) and a guarantee.
I don't see anything in your team material that backs up the 40% or the two weeks, so I can't confirm them. If you can't point to data behind them, a guarantee is a promise Fruitful would have to keep. Since Peter holds sales and overall direction, it's worth checking with him whether Fruitful wants to promise anything like this.
A safer version could be: "With Fruitful, your team gets concrete tools and agreements to collaborate more effectively, and we work with you to make the first improvements visible in daily work." Do you have real results from earlier clients that you could use instead of the 40%?
