Random CoffeePals☕️

Random CoffeePals turns your team into a network of small, surprise conversations. Every cycle, CoffeePals pairs people across your organization and nudges them to meet, with no scheduling work from you or them.

How it works

1. You pick the audience and cadence. Choose who’s in the program, then set how often pairs go out and at what time.
2. CoffeePals matches everyone randomly each cycle. Active participants are shuffled into groups of your chosen size (most teams pick pairs, but trios and quads work too).
3. Pairs get an intro on your selected platform. Each match receives a personal message with an optional icebreaker question.
4. They schedule the meeting themselves. With calendars connected, CoffeePals can auto-book a time both are free. Otherwise, partners pick a slot in the thread.
5. Anyone left over gets prioritised next cycle. When the count doesn’t divide evenly, the person who sits out won’t be skipped twice in a row.

Who it’s for

• Distributed and hybrid teams missing the hallway moments
• Fast-growing companies where new hires don’t know anyone yet
• Departments wanting to break down silos between sub-teams

What you’ll configure

• Frequency, day, and time for each cycle
• Group size — pairs, trios, or larger
• Opt-in — let people confirm, or auto-include everyone
• Icebreaker questions — curated prompts, or write your own
• Calendar scheduling — Google or Microsoft, with auto-booking
