Frequently Asked Questions

Rypple is the AI coach for managers. It connects three systems into one: My People (living team memory), Meetings HQ (prep + follow-through), and Ask Rypple (context-aware guidance). As you lead—meetings, decisions, commitments—Rypple builds shared context so you always know who needs attention, what's at risk, and what to do next.

An AI coach for managers gives ongoing, in-the-moment guidance for the everyday work of leading people—preparing for 1:1s, handling hard conversations, and following through on commitments. Unlike a general chatbot, it draws on the real context of a manager's team—their people, meetings, goals, and commitments—to make that guidance specific. Rypple is the AI coach for managers.

Rypple is built for managers leading teams of any size—especially front-line and middle managers who carry a lot and get little real-time support. It also helps organizations scale leadership development across many managers at once.

Most leadership support is periodic and disconnected from real work. Rypple supports you in the flow of work—before, during, and after the moments that matter—by building team memory, tracking follow-through, and giving context-aware guidance when you need it.

A general assistant starts from a blank slate every time. Rypple is purpose-built for managers and remembers the real context of your team—your people, meetings, goals, and commitments—so its guidance is specific to your situation instead of generic advice.

No. Rypple is an AI coach for managers, not a human resources information system. It doesn't store employee records or run HR processes like payroll, benefits, or org charts. Instead, it works alongside your HRIS—helping managers prep 1:1s, track commitments, and navigate hard conversations, using the real context of their team to coach them in the moment.

No. Rypple is an AI coach for managers, not a performance-management system—it doesn't run goal cycles, ratings, or calibration. Rypple is part of Betterworks, the performance-management company, and works alongside that layer: Betterworks connects goals and reviews across the organization, while Rypple coaches each manager through the everyday moments—1:1s, feedback, and follow-through—that make them land.

Rypple is part of Betterworks, the enterprise performance-management company, which acquired Rypple in 2026. Rypple continues as the AI coach for managers—it wasn't folded into another product. The two are complementary: Betterworks connects goals, reviews, and performance across the organization; Rypple supports each manager in the day-to-day work of leading their team.

Not yet. Rypple became part of Betterworks in 2026, but today it runs as a standalone AI coach for managers—you can adopt Rypple on its own, and it works alongside Betterworks rather than inside it. The two are complementary, and we'll share more as they connect over time.

My People is Rypple's living memory of everyone you work with — your reports, your peers, your boss, and beyond. It captures goals, commitments, patterns, and what's at risk—so you don't have to keep it all in your head. It helps you pick up where you left off with any direct report, peer, or collaborator.

Meetings HQ turns recurring meetings into progress engines. It helps you walk in prepared, capture what matters, and leave with clear next steps. Prep, takeaways, and follow-through feed back into My People so nothing gets lost between meetings.

Ask Rypple is your always-on leadership coach—talk or type anytime, in one continuous conversation across web and Slack. It responds using real context: your team, your goals, your past conversations, and active commitments, so the guidance is specific, not generic. It can also take real action on request—creating goals and commitments, logging 1:1s, scheduling meetings, and drafting messages—and it never sends anything to a person until you approve.

Rypple learns from your leadership rhythm—your meetings, your priorities, and the context you build with your team. Over time, My People grows richer, Meetings HQ captures more continuity, and Ask Rypple becomes more precise in how it supports your leadership decisions.
