Learn how Record'em's three core principles—eliminate manual entry, automate from your calendar, and meet users where they work—create unprecedented user adoption rates. Most time tracking tools fail because they're designed for managers, not employees. Record'em flips the model by making time tracking disappear into your natural workflow.

Pillar 1: Eliminate Manual Entry

Forget cumbersome forms. Users describe their activity in plain language—"Worked on the Q3 marketing report"—and our AI engine instantly structures and categorizes the entry. It's as easy as sending a message.

This approach eliminates the friction that makes traditional time tracking fail. When employees can simply describe what they did in natural language, time tracking becomes effortless and natural.

Pillar 2: Automate from Your Calendar

Record'em integrates with Outlook to turn an employee's schedule into a pre-populated timesheet. Meetings appear as suggested entries, confirmable with a single click. Smart filtering prevents calendar clutter.

This automation leverages existing behavior patterns rather than forcing new ones. Your calendar becomes your timesheet automatically, eliminating the need for manual entry.

Pillar 3: Meet Users Where They Work

Why force users into another app? Record'em lives inside Microsoft Teams. Employees can log time via conversational chat, on desktop or mobile. This workflow integration drives unprecedented compliance.

By meeting users where they already work, we eliminate the friction of switching between applications and create a seamless experience.

The Three Pillars in Action:

  • Eliminate Manual Entry: Natural language processing makes time tracking as easy as sending a message.
  • Automate from Calendar: Your Outlook schedule becomes a pre-populated timesheet automatically.
  • Meet Users Where They Work: Time tracking lives inside Microsoft Teams, not as a separate app.
  • Unprecedented User Adoption: This approach drives unprecedented compliance rates because employees actually want to use the system.
  • Effortless Workflow: Time tracking disappears into your natural workflow instead of interrupting it.

Why This Approach Works

The root issue isn't technical—it's behavioral. Traditional time tracking fails because people forget. They reconstruct their hours at the end of the month—or not at all. Record'em addresses the human factors that make time tracking fail in most organizations.

  • Freelancers: Effortless time tracking that doesn't interrupt your creative flow or client work.
