It sounds like a great tool for educators to increase engagement and track student progress in online sessions. Best of luck with your launch and I'm sure educators around the world will benefit from your passion and dedication to teaching. Keep up the good work!
Super cool stuff! I'm all for any solution in meeting settings that help create additional engagement from participants who would otherwise be checked out or too shy to contribute. I think that it's awesome that you're getting metrics to help you quantify who's participating and who is not. More importantly, you're providing teachers and managers a way to gamify the experience to help get more people involved.
A cool features that I often wanted as a manager on video calls where people checkout would be an AI moderator that would help nudge specific participants who have a low contribution score. This could be a simple call out in the meeting "Hey Bob, what do you think about this topic?". When you call people out to contribute it can be scary for them, but will help get them more used to contributing (especially if it occurs enough). Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
@cjries We've got this request from several of our partner companies too. We're tending towards notifications or other nudges that we can automate and are trying to fine-tune this feature. One major problem is, of course, deciding the threshold because different places have different thresholds for tolerance (it's terrible to tune out during a work meeting but, maybe permissible in a hobby-learning or a K12 setting) and that's been a bit of a problem
@uttiya_roy sounds like you all are already on top of it! I couldn't agree more on tuning different thresholds depending on the circumstance. Tuning out during a work meeting is more edge case.
@cjries Yeah, I'm excited to see where we end up landing with this. Building and marketing Lens has been really interesting

@cjries I think it's always interesting to manage the balance of calling people out for lack of focus/commitment to a meeting, but also respecting the introverts in the group. I like the opportunity that this brings of acknowledging someone's focus or participation, even if it's quiet, so you don't have to put your introverted students/business partners in uncomfortable situations.
I like the notification/nudge concept mentioned by @uttiya_roy though; definitely a cool product I'll keep an eye on over time!
