Cushion is the async messaging app for small, distributed teams. It helps teams work smarter, stay organized, and get more done through purposeful communication.
Cushion is an async messaging app designed for small, distributed teams that need purposeful communication. Unlike traditional chat platforms where important information gets buried and knowledge fades, Cushion organizes conversations around persistent posts. Each post is a single-topic thread that keeps the entire discussion on one page, making it easy to find and reference later. This structure helps remote teams, founders, engineers, and designers stay aligned without the constant noise of real-time messaging. By focusing on thoughtful interactions and reducing interruptions, Cushion fosters deep work and ensures that every update has clear context. The platform is fast, reliable, and organised, providing a trustworthy workspace for daily asynchronous collaboration.
Traditional messaging apps often cause information overload, constant distractions, and loss of critical insights. When teams communicate in real-time channels, important updates get buried in endless scrolls, and over time, knowledge and decisions fade away. This leads to misalignment, wasted time searching for context, and decreased productivity. Cushion directly solves this by replacing chaotic chat streams with structured, searchable posts. Each post captures a single topic and can be referenced by other posts, creating a permanent knowledge base. The platform also eliminates the need for status meetings through automatic checkins, reducing meeting fatigue. By making every piece of communication purposeful, Cushion ensures that teams can focus on what matters without being overwhelmed by low-value chatter.
The first major feature group is Posts, which transform team communication from fragmented chat to organized discussions. Posts are single-topic threads that contain all related messages, files, and decisions on one page. Users can resolve conversations with AI, easily reference other posts by linking them, and tag team members to request feedback. This approach prevents the fragmentation common in channel-based apps, where a single topic often spans multiple conversations. For example, a design feedback post can include mockups, comments, and final decisions, all in one place. The AI resolution feature helps summarize discussions and mark them as complete, reducing repetitive questions. This feature group is designed to make asynchronous collaboration clear, easy to follow, and permanent, so no context is lost.
The second major feature group is AI Agents, which help teams automate repetitive tasks and focus on high-value work. Users can hand off busywork or delegate routine activities to a set of agents available within the workspace. These agents can automate powerful workflows, such as sending follow-up reminders, generating reports, or collating data from integrated tools. They can also answer questions by pulling information from the workspace, providing instant answers without manual search. For instance, an agent can summarize the latest checkin responses or retrieve pending action items from a project post. This reduces the cognitive load on team members and speeds up routine processes. AI Agents are a core differentiator, enabling teams to scale their productivity without adding headcount or manual effort.
