Reports that get listened to, instead of piling up unread.
Internal announcements, meeting summaries, training material: they get written, sent, and mostly go unread — not out of disinterest, but because nobody has twenty free minutes in front of a screen mid-afternoon. They do have twenty minutes commuting, at the gym, or cooking. The information doesn’t have a quality problem; it has a format problem.
How I approach it
This is the one I have to invent the least from scratch: it’s exactly the problem I solved for myself with Krakencast , a private audio channel platform that’s already been in production since May 2026, with real data isolation and granular control over who listens to what. For an engagement, I adapt that base to your context — university, company, team — instead of building from zero, which shortens the pilot considerably.
What usually fits
Private channels with invitation-based access control, content upload and conversion to audio, and real listening evidence — not just delivery. Especially useful where training requires proof of completion: you can show who listened to what, not just who received it.
The work, in concrete terms
- What we start with
- An existing announcement, report or training material, together with its audience and permissions. The first decision is which content is worth listening to and who should have access.
- What it should return
- Content in a private channel, organised for the relevant audience, with listening tracking. The pilot helps assess whether audio makes it easier to consume information that was previously left unread.
- What needs to be defined
- Listening to an episode does not by itself demonstrate understanding or amount to a training certification. We also need to agree who reviews the content, who publishes it and how access is maintained.
Illustrative example
A team turns an internal announcement into an audio episode for people invited to its channel. The person responsible reviews the content and checks listening activity. The pilot is based on Krakencast, LowOrbits' own platform.
