Your people do not open up
AI-native alternative to employee surveys

Trusted by companies around the world
The problem
You run surveys, but nothing really changes.
Leaders do not get the clarity they need
HR is left owning problems
Friction builds. Trust erodes. Productivity suffers.
The real conversations are happening, you are just not in them.
Your people talk about stress, friction with managers, misalignment, and feeling undervalued, but they do it quietly in Slack DMs, group chats, or over coffee. They rarely say these things in surveys because they feel no actions come out of them.
Hoogly is changing how we listen to employees.
Step 1: Listen
Unlike generic surveys, Venn has a 1:1 conversation with every employee
Venn, your AI-powered culture partner, has judgment-free conversations with every employee about workload, wellbeing, blockers, and team dynamics. Don't worry this is not a big brother that is continually listening. You choose the cadence based on your business needs. Your employees get notified in Slack or Teams when its time for them to share their thoughts.
Step 2: Understand
Conversational AI yields insights that are 10X better than traditional surveys
Hoogly turns anonymised conversations into clear, business-ready insights. For every team, you can see what is working well, what is getting in the way, and where risks are rising.
Step 3: Act
AI powered leadership coach helps turn insights into action
Venn supports leaders and HR by:
- Providing personalised AI coaching and micro-learning
- Building action plans tailored to team needs
- Guiding execution through a portfolio of AI agents

Mission
At Hoogly, we're on a mission to make work more human by helping people feel seen, heard, and supported to do their best work.
We believe that when people feel a genuine sense of belonging to their team, their purpose, and themselves, they thrive. That's why we partner with People Leaders to build cultures rooted in connection, trust, and care.
Instead of one-size-fits-all surveys, Hoogly uses anonymous, conversational AI to create a safe space for every employee to express how they're really feeling without fear, filters, or judgement.
And because change doesn't happen with data alone, we guide both employees and leaders with thoughtful coaching and shared action plans turning insight into action, and culture into a lived experience.
In a world shaped by AI, we're here to amplify what makes us human.
The Origin of Hoogly
Hoogly comes from the Danish word Hygge (pronounced hyoo-guh) — a feeling of cosy contentment, warmth, and ease. It's about the simple, human moments that help us feel safe, connected, and at home with ourselves and with each other. That spirit is at the heart of everything we do. Because even in a changing world, we believe the most meaningful workplaces are built on trust, belonging, and the freedom to be yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
Every pulse runs in Incognito Mode. Hoogly stores responses securely, but personally identifiable information is never shown to HR teams or managers, and our AI models never see your name or contact details.
Results only appear once at least five responses are aggregated, and only authorised managers or admins can access them. Our AI also redacts sensitive words and replaces real names with pseudonyms, so individual voices stay protected while the organisation still gets a clear picture.
Access is governed by roles to ensure data is only seen by those who need it.
- Employees: Can access a private dashboard showing their own trends and anonymised team averages.
- People Managers: Can view aggregated results for their direct team once the five-response anonymity threshold is met. This helps them identify trends and hotspots without compromising individual privacy.
- HR & Executives: Have an organisation-wide view with the ability to drill down by team, function, or geography, always anonymised and aggregated.
