Cushion is a modern messaging application designed specifically for distributed teams to communicate effectively. It is built around purposeful async communication to help teams work smarter, stay organized, and get more done without the distractions of traditional chat apps.

Key features include posts that are single-topic threads keeping entire conversations together on one page, AI agents that handle busywork and automate workflows, and automatic checkins that help teams stay in sync without endless status meetings. The platform also offers an inbox that organizes your work day without information overload, allowing you to prioritize what requires attention.

The product works by organizing communication around posts rather than chat, enabling teams to resolve conversations with AI, easily reference other posts, and tag team members for feedback. It provides AI agents that users can assign tasks to, automating powerful workflows and getting answers from the workspace.

Benefits include breaking through silos, keeping teams on track without dropping the ball, and focusing on work that matters most. Use cases involve daily standups, weekly goals planning, user feedback sessions, content planning, and component library feedback requests.

The target users are small, distributed teams who need organized async communication. Integrations include GitHub, Stripe, and more, with iOS and Android apps available and a desktop app coming soon.
