What Is Catalyst?

A New Category: Behavioral Intelligence Systems

Think of us as Grammarly for EQ — working in real time, inside every tool your team already uses.

Behavioral Intelligence System

Catalyst is a proprietary behavioral intelligence layer that operates inside Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, and email, coaching ICs and managers in their existing workflow.

A proprietary intelligence layer between your communication platforms and your people, converting passive data into active management capability.

How It Works

It reads passive communication signals to detect misalignment, disengagement, bias, and burnout, helping prevent escalation.

Analyzes behavioral patterns across Slack, Teams, email, and docs

Detects early signals of disengagement, bias, and burnout, before they become crises

Delivers real-time coaching to managers and employees inside their workflow

Learns each person’s communication style — improving every interaction

Why It Works

Built on established research in behavioral science,
organizational behavior, and communication theory.

Platform-Agnostic: Works across platforms, wherever your team communicates

Privacy-First: No DMs analyzed; works with what’s already shareable

Real-Time: Catch issues before they cost you; feedback integrated in the workflow

Privacy Architecture

Much more than a privacy policy: an architecture that builds solid trust. Our privacy architecture is what makes trust possible.

360° Asymmetric Visibility

Employees own their individual behavioral insights, managers see only team and company aggregates, and accountability runs both ways.
