Frequently asked questions
What is Ren?
Ren is accountability infrastructure for people leaders. It lives inside Slack and Teams, proactively holding your managers accountable for developing their people — surfacing coaching moments, prepping 1:1s, drafting feedback, and tracking progress against your org’s standards.
Can’t we just use Gemini, Copilot, or Glean for this?
Those tools answer questions when someone asks — that’s P0, reactive support. Ren also does P1 (proactive coaching — showing up before managers ask) and P2 (accountability tracking — org-wide visibility into who’s developing people). Even at P0, Ren scored 4× higher in a blind study. But P1 and P2 are what no general-purpose AI does.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your conversations with Ren are completely private. Insights are never shared with your manager, HR, or anyone else. Managers choose what context to share. Ren is SOC 2 Type II certified with privacy-first design.
How much does Ren cost?
$24,000 for a 12-month deployment. 50 seats, any mix of leaders and team members. Everything included — tool connections, culture customization, onboarding, and support. One number, no add-ons.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes. One-click Slack or Teams integration. Managers opt in and Ren starts surfacing coaching moments the same day.
What’s the methodology behind Ren?
Ren is built on the Good Authority methodology and the Accountability Dial — developed over 15 years and used by 100,000+ managers at Panasonic, Amazon, Okta, and TikTok. It’s a system of constraints, not an open-ended answer machine. Ren pushes back, disagrees, and holds managers to a standard.
Do managers actually use it?
Yes. Managers voluntarily engage 8–9 times per week, for 6+ months. No mandated usage, no gamification. They come back because Ren shows up proactively — they don’t have to remember to open another tab.
Can I try it for my team?
Absolutely. We offer a 60-day pilot for teams. Book a demo and we’ll walk you through it.
Does Ren replace human coaches?
No. Ren gives every manager access to coaching — something most companies can only afford for executives. For organizations that also invest in human coaches, Ren extends that impact to every manager, every day.
