Manager enablement without the HR bloat.

Confab is not reinventing the wheel. Other tools such as Lattice, Canopy, and 15Five offer similar features, but Confab focuses on small teams and manager experience. 1:1 meetings are not the only interactions with your team. Sometimes you need to take ad-hoc notes for a team member, or manage your own personal notes or to-do list. Confab is designed to be used daily to help you stay organized and focused on your team's success, not HR's bureaucracy. Confab has no intention of becoming a bloated HR tool. Its focus will always remain on manager enablement for small teams.

Your data security is our top priority. Confab uses enterprise-grade encryption to protect all sensitive information:

• KMS Encryption: All notes, reviews, and feedback are encrypted at rest using a Key Management Service (agenda and action items are not encrypted)
• Per-Organization Keys: Each organization has isolated encryption keys, ensuring your data cannot be accessed by other organizations
• Envelope Encryption: We use AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with per-note data encryption keys
• Automatic Key Rotation: Encryption keys are automatically rotated annually for enhanced security
• Anonymized AI Processing: All names are anonymized during AI operations to protect privacy

Confab seamlessly integrates with your existing calendar to make 1:1 meetings effortless:

• Supported Providers: Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Zoom integration
• Automatic Sync: Your calendar events sync automatically
• Event Pairing: Link recurring calendar events with specific team members
• Meeting Mode: Start meetings directly from Confab with pre-populated topics and notes
