About Yac
What is Yac?
Yac is an async communication tool that lets product teams replace traditional meetings and phone calls with quick voice messages and screen recordings. Instead of scheduling a call, you record a kickoff message, share feedback, or report a bug — and teammates respond on their own time.
Who is it for?
Yac is built for remote and hybrid product teams, founders, engineers, and investors who want to cut down on meeting hours. It’s ideal for teams across time zones who struggle with scheduling. It is not designed for real-time chat or synchronous collaboration.
Real use cases
Customer stories show startups like Lula replacing 12+ hours of meetings per week, and 500 Startups saving 20+ hours weekly by moving internal discussions to Yac. Common uses include sharing code walkthroughs, giving design feedback, and documenting changes without typing long emails.
