Kill the fatigue that kills creativity.
Meet
Introducing video calls designed for energy, ideas and action.
Gather in ultra small groups, infuse fresh energy into creative sessions, and get things done in real-time with real results.
Around is for all the doers, the makers, the paradigm shakers.
This is your private, invite‑only underground club to conspire
with your closest confidants, energize the creative process,
and make things happen.
So go ahead, think for yourself, leave the crowd
behind, do what works for you. Step out of the
corporate spotlight and be free to be yourself.
Because meetings are for bosses.
Around is for you.
It’s your call.
Create. With less fatigue.
Our approach.
Real is exhausting.Experience the unreal.
How much presence is too much? Traditional high‑definition, full‑screen video calls leave you feeling overexposed and exhausted in the harsh light of dull reality. Technology should respect and augment your mood. Around’s signature video modes bathe you in liquid light and amp up the atmosphere to revitalize your sessions and get more done.
Backgrounds can be stressful.Worry less with AI camera framing.
Don’t like feeling all those eyes scouring your magnified face? Not everything is better in HD. Around minimizes the video interface to maximize your workspace with an unobtrusive UI that lets you collaborate easily, whether sharing online docs, or sharing your screen.
Our proprietary, AI-based camera framing finds your face even as you move, crops out clutter and other background distractions, and moves you and your team into thought bubbles out of the way to free up screen space.
Noise is distracting.Silence disruptions with AI auto‑mute.
Nothing brings your train of thought to a grinding halt like a loud bang or passing firetruck. Around recognizes common noises like sirens, barking dogs, washing machines, kitchen activity, and laptop fans, and applies AI-based filtering to suppress them while prioritizing human voice.
Desks are tiresome.Switch to mobile mid‑call.
Take your brain for a walk and enjoy true blue‑sky thinking. With just a click you can seamlessly transfer your call from computer to smartphone without missing a beat, or a thought.
