    Wondering if you plan to keep running the team on Discord forever -- I feel like larger companies who care about operations & privacy/security usually move to an enterprise solution like Slack or self-host a tool. Can Harmony join any kind of calls (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, Slack, etc.) in the future and implement the same functionality?

      I like the idea of someone getting an agenda item promoted because they bought a boost or used a server tag.<p>Which is fine until they pick the wrong window to fire back with creative insults at their guildmates.

    This is great!<p>In my team we&#x27;ve used the open source <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;craig.chat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;craig.chat&#x2F;</a> and hooked it up to a Whisper API which lets us (1) control security of the recordings &#x2F; transcripts; and (2) is ultra cheap if you sequence the transcription as bulk rather than real time.<p>Once we have the transcript there is then a pipeline which uses [insert your LLM of choice] and chains together prompts which (1) isolates only work-talk and then (2) produces various summaries for knowledge management &#x2F; issue tracking.

      I think early stage startups use it because: a. Gen Z b. Free c. Free and Gen Z<p>No respectable organization uses Discord if they are concerned with access control and encryption. Who knows, Discord might become <i>that guy</i>.

        games companies often have internal discord servers since they generally have a public discord server for players, so it keeps you in the same space. Plus when you screen share you can select between &quot;full resolution, low frame rate&quot; or &quot;full frame rate, low resolution&quot;; the full resolution at 5fps option is actually really good for pair programming. With that said, both game studios I worked at also had Slack and primarily used Slack.

        Considering the rumblings about a near-term IPO for Discord I would be looking at alternatives yesterday.<p>I&#x27;m disappointed in the availability of self-hosted alternatives for personal use right now, but businesses don&#x27;t really have an excuse.
